Hi! This is a very rough plan but the idea is strong and I plan to set off to travel as much of the world as possible starting in Japan October time next year. I’m 22F and have a job lined up for January, which pays better than any other job I’ve had. I’m going to work my ass off, because I hate everything about living in Britain as well as my big Welsh family who pretends they’re one big happy family.

JAPAN I plan to start off in Japan for a month. I’ve got some ryokans and guesthouses reserved already. I have dreamt to go to Japan since I was a child. I’m only planning 3weeks-month tops there since I am aware it’s expensive, but I am a budgeter so I think I’ll be fine.

TAIWAN/PHILIPPINES Not sure which one to go yet, I don’t know too much about both countries and hear mixed reviews so let me know if they’re worth going/which country is better

VIETNAM Unsure of how long I want to stay here but maybe a month, depending on its safety for a 22F first time solo traveller like me. I love their food and their culture is so interesting. Considering doing volunteering work over WorkAway to get a place to stay and save money . THAILAND Is a must. My parents went there back in the 90s and always bring it up whenever we have Thai food. If I’m right, it’s pretty cheap there? So perhaps ill again, volunteer or work at hotel resorts to stay more than a month.

After this bit of travelling I plan to join a company that will get me a job there and work in Australia for a year, and maybe New Zealand too so I don’t get too burnt out travelling.

I'm in Philippines got to leave around the 15th of Feb for 24 hours planning vacation in south East Asia. Where is safe fun cheap and beautiful woman and sea. Ty

Hi, I'm looking for a place in asia where to live for the next month as a digital nomad (currently in Taipei).

I was thinking about Bali but the rainy season kinda puts me off... is it that bad?

Ideally it should be:

• not too expensive
• not too small
• warm weather
• nearby the sea
• good internet connection
• international presence

nice to have:

• martial arts gym nearby

I don't care too much about sightseeing at the moment.

I've already been traveling around Thailand and Northern Vietnam and I'm planning to go to Sri Lanka next.

I (F18) am south east asian. My hairline is GONE. I have the hairline of a balding husband. My temples are backwards and only exist out of babyhairs. I’ve had this hairline since always. Also as a baby I was literally bald till the age of 4. It’s not as if I have thin hair now. I have a normal amount of hair and it’s not fine hair or prone to breaking or dry. I just have a fucked up hairline. I notice this a lot in other Asians too. My European friends joke a lot about it which I don’t really mind, but I thought it was normal. I also see white people posting pictures of their temples on hairloss platforms and how they are “desperate”, but mine look even worse. I was wondering if this is more common within (south-east) asian or just my family.

Hello,

We will be travelling in spring 2025 to China and plan to bicycle in the Yunnan province and later the Pamir Highway. We would like to buy a decent roadbike tandem in the Yunnan province or one of the 2 bigger cities Kunming or Chengdu. Does anyone knows where we could buy a decent tandem with good gears in one of those places and of which brand? I would already like to be able to reach out to get more information and the price.

Thanks a lot for your help!
