Things To Do In...
ASIA
From neon skylines to sleepy temples -
Asia serves up adventure, flavour, and culture in every direction.
If travel were a buffet, Asia would be the one where you go back for seconds (and thirds). It’s a region where chaos and calm coexist — where you can meditate at dawn, eat your bodyweight in noodles by lunch, and end the day on a rooftop bar with views that make you forget the jet lag.
Whether you’re tracing ancient traditions in Japan, wandering Bangkok’s night markets, or island-hopping through Indonesia, Asia has a knack for making you feel both lost and found at once.
Below, you’ll find hand-picked tours and activities from across the continent — many tried and tested, others firmly on my ever-growing wishlist.
