Asia Travel Guides
Temples, street food, and the best digital nomad bases
Asia is the region I’ve explored most extensively, with especially long stays in Thailand and Bali—two of my favorite places in the world. From waterfalls and white-sand beaches to street food, temples, mountain towns, and quieter places beyond the usual tourist trail, the variety is what keeps drawing me back.

Where the guides go
Asia is one of my favorite regions for slow travel, and these guides focus on destinations that are worth more than just a quick stop. From mountain towns and tropical islands to buzzing cities and national parks, you’ll find detailed guides to help you plan your trip.
- Thailand — from Chiang Dao in the north to the islands in the south, plus digital nomad guides for Hua Hin and beyond.
- Japan — explore Kyoto, Osaka and Nara, then head into the Japanese Alps for a quieter side of the country.
- Indonesia — discover Bali region by region, along with everything you need to plan a trip to Komodo National Park.
