Asia is a continent where contrasts are just breathtaking, all the way from ancient temples to the towering skylines of modern cities and serene trekking trails to bustling streets. Starting with the Himalayas, crowned with snow, to the sun-splashed shores of Southeast Asia, every place has its own beat and its own tale to be explored and discovered.

It’s through the travel blog Asia where I deliver personal experiences and expert tips to explore Asia in a totally different way – beyond the usual paths and immerse in the culture and people who are just so unforgettable in Asia.

My Personal Travel Stories: The Real Side of Asia

All the Asian tours that I have been a part of have always brought me something new, something that has not only been about the places but also about people and culture and the beauty that can be discovered in a quiet manner. Whether it has been sharing street food in Bangkok and watching the sunrise while gazing out at rice fields in Bali, everything has given me a series of experiences that have been much closer to memories than to places.
