Solo
Asia
Solo, you set the tempo: safe, lively neighborhoods, easy-to-reach places and good chances to meet people when you feel like it.
From refined Japan to Thailand's beaches and Bali's rice terraces, Asia is a total change of scene — often on a gentle budget once you're there.
When to go
November-March for Southeast Asia (dry season); March-April (cherry blossoms) and October-November (maples) for Japan; avoid the summer monsoon.
Must-sees
- Japan — Tokyo, Kyoto temples and trains on time to the second.
- Bali — Rice terraces, temples and surf at gentle prices.
- Thailand — Buzzing Bangkok, paradise islands and street food.
- Vietnam — Ha Long Bay, Hanoi's lanes and unforgettable food.
- China — Great Wall, megacities and postcard landscapes.
