Let's make it through a wild three-day motorbike ride around Vietnam’s Ha Giang mountains, dodging chickens, buffalo and stray dogs, like a video game on expert mode. Let's soar over one of Asia’s largest limestone forests on a zipline, then chill with a cup of freshly roasted coffee at a homestay in Laos’ Bolaven Plateau. Let's eat everything from crickets, frogs to mystery meat and try things that are normal for some but not to others.

Let's attend an alms giving ceremony and swim in beautiful fresh-water blue lagoons. Let's catch a majestic sunrise over the temples of Angkor Wat and volunteer when we are able. Let's attend weddings and ceremonies and fully embrace other cultures.
