As enriching as travelling can be, it’s an experience that comes at a price. Travelling is often too expensive to enjoy without worrying about money. Spin the globe and let it land on Asia. It’s mesmerising but wallet-friendly.

The regions of South Asia and Southeast Asia are traditionalist spots; learning social norms will keep you from potentially upsetting the locals.

Tsuruoka is often described as the ‘hidden Japan’. Its main attractions include three sacred mountains, two mummified living Buddhas, and a massive aquarium listed in the Guinness World Records.

Sometimes, lying on the beach is all we need during a holiday, but some places have views too beautiful to ignore. Hiking might not be for everyone, but if you’re willing to try, these are some of our absolute favourite trails around Southeast Asia.

Southeast Asia — an eclectic region of food markets, jungles, beaches, hot humid summers, and wild wet monsoon seasons. Many backpackers view travelling here a rite of passage. Avoid these mistakes if you plan to embark on this journey of a lifetime.
