Asia
The very definition of exotism
Distant, mysterious, surprising… Asia has as many facets as square miles (kilometers!)
This gigantic continent, spreading from the edge of Europe to the Pacific, is a treasure trove full of contrasts.
Ancient traditions and high-tech marvels, bustling cities and endless deserts, postcard beaches and high mountain peaks, fancy restaurants and street food...
Amidst this kaleidoscope of cultures, you’ll find YOUR Asia.
The one that will speak directly to your heart, and change you forever.
From the skyscrapers of Shanghai to the hot springs of Kyushu, from the Mongolian desert to the Himalaya, from the tribal cultures of Papua to the last orangutans of Borneo, from the temples of Bali to the beaches of Thailand, each adventure is a culture shock in itself.
But the smiles of the locals, the colorful markets and the incredibly flavorful gastronomy will help you adjust very quickly.
Be careful, you might stay longer than expected…
Countries we visited in Asia: Indonesia (including Borneo, Java, Lombok and Bali) and China, among others.
During a month, I’ve (Eli) explored different sides of Indonesia: Hindu temples and volcanos in Java, rice fields and buddhist temples in Bali, dreamy beaches in Gili islands and Lombok…
But, without a doubt, the most unique experience was sleeping on a fisherman boat in the deep jungle of Borneo.
Pack your curiosity (and maybe a lot of bug spray), because we’re about to dive into the lush, wild, and fascinating world of Borneo’s Tanjung Puting National Park — home to some of the last truly wild orangutans on Earth!
