ASIAN Geographic - AG 156

I denne utgaven

What does it mean to be a “traveller” if it is not to derive pleasure from exploring new places, having fresh experiences, and enriching oneself? Of course, there’s nothing wrong with kicking back on a sublime stretch of white sand or indulging in the finer things in life at a beautiful resort – we’d be lying if we didn’t admit that those aren’t great – but they aren’t the reasons why we travel in and of themselves. No, after the gruelling isolation of the pandemic, as most of us can finally look forward to getting on a plane, we travellers are excited to immerse ourselves in unknown cultures and witness amazing sites of natural (and manmade) beauty – and challenge ourselves in the process. In this special issue of ASIAN Geographic PASSPORT, we aim to inspire those new travels, both through fascinating cultural experiences and adrenaline-pumping adventures.
