There are 38 different countries on the Asian Continent, which geographically speaking, starts at the Red Sea on the western edge, with what is typically referred to as the Middle East, spanning a quarter way around the globe, to the Pacific Ocean.   All of those countries and the huge expanse of land make for a plethora of Asian Destination options.

The cultures in Asia are incredibly diverse.  The 4 billion people of Asia speak hundreds of languages and dialects, practice dozens of differing spiritual beliefs, an honor innumerable traditions. While this may surprise many westerners, growing up with both Japanese and Korean family, I have been aware of this since I was a very young child.  Those two countries are very close together, yet the differences in their culture are striking.  That barely grazes the continent.

Which Asian Country is Calling You?

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to fly east now!

One more story we highly recommend is from my friend Mokshta, at Miss With Migratory Wings, lives in India, and specializes in solo female travel in Southeastern Asian Destinations.
