Greater Asia - Cultures, Colors, & Curiosities

I have started a Japan Experiential post for you, and I will be adding to it shortly!

I’d rather share Japan with you in person so you can FEEL my adoration and excitement for this literal Wonderland! To entice you to read further: you should eat your way through Osaka.  You should go to as many shrines and temples as you can in Kyoto & Nara. Gawk at the majesty of Fuji San. Sleep on Miyajima Island and discover what real magic feels like. Take the Nozomi and let your heart feel 220 mph while eating tuna onigiri. Give yourself enough time to explore as many playground as possible in incredible Tokyo!!! If you have time, or on a 2nd visit (you will want to go back) drink beer in Sapporo and ski in the mountains of snowy Hokkaido.

But Asia is incredible and full of wonders! Get to Angkor Wat for sunrise with my friend who is a devoted father and tuk tuk driver in Cambodia. Give yourself over to some real, spice-laden, Pho beside a lake in Hanoi, and lazily drift through the limestone karats in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Is iconic Bangkok captivating your curiosity? The night markets and temples await you. Haggle for silk in Delhi India’s Old City, indulge in some Lucknow biryani, and watch sunset reflect your own awe at the Taj Mahal. You could take a ride through Bali’s rice terraces, visit sacred water temples, and affordably rent a paradise retreat by the beach! If the Philippines call to you, I assure you there is more than Manila. Discover hidden islands and luxurious beaches there. Go beyond the coffee table books and Instagram feeds. South Korea? Go. Go go go. All of it, beyond Seoul’s districts. Learn their fascinating histories. China? Multiple visits await you beyond the Great Wall!And for my luxury shoppers and foodies — Singapore and Hong Kong — two very different places and equally awesome in their own ways.

What captures your imagination? Asia is so much — such variety and glorious histories and cultures - each unique. You can’t compare Thailand and Japan and Bali.

I’ll help you sort out where to begin!
