Euros by the way. Overestimation or underestimation? I already had to scrap Turkmenistan and Bhutan from my plan because they'd cost 3k each

I've never been to any of these regions but a few places that are pretty popular:
Dubai/Abu Dhabi. Dubai seems like it may be more fun for New Years but that's just a guess
Goa in India. You could spend way more than 2 weeks in India tbh and it's really cheap there
Sri Lanka is right off the coast of India, it might be worth a visit
Yangon is on my list! It seems to get ignored by a lot of people so I hope you make it
Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia deserve a few days. Singapore is expensive so you could save money by going to KL for a few days
Bali is a cheap flight away from KL, everyone seems to love it
There are so many places in Southeast Asia to see! You're skipping Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam (and Laos) which all are cheap and have a lot to do. ANGKOR WAT DEFINITELY
Two weeks in Taiwain is too much imo, same with a week in Shanghai. What aobut Beijing & the Great Wall?
So much time in trains and remote places  These areas are probably safe but it'd be hard to communicate if you don't know the language. Plus internet is most likely slow so you may not have a connection to people back home.
Three weeks in South Korea is kind of a lot imo but there is a lot do there. Same with Japan
I'd say spend more time in cheap places like India and Southeast Asia and less in South Korea/Japan, specifically Tokyo. |
Dubai: already visited (don't recommend by the way).
I know Southern Asia is really cheap but for some reason it doesn't interest me that much. Only Nepal and Bhutan are appealing to me. India would be a great place, but I would want to be able to come back for different cities at a later time. I'll definitely look into Goa though.
I've already been to Malaysia for three weeks (also during ramadan
) so I've basically seen everything on the peninsula.
As for the rest of South-East-Asia: I know that these are popular spots and that's exactly what I wish to avoid. Everyone these days goes 'backpacking' to Thailand to 'find themselves' while just staying in cheap hotels with friends only visiting tourist highlights. I don't want that, and I guess it might just be that I'm a rebel heart and want to explore the unexplored.
I've also already been to Beijing (includinf Great Wall) for a week, seen enough there. Been to South Korea for 3 weeks before, and I think I could spend another two or three weeks there visiting other cities.
Japan being so expensive is a real problem though. I really want to visit Japan but it's really expensive

Are you trying to break the world record?
What are you going to do in these countries for 2 weeks each? Mongolia, Myanmah, etc? What about the language problem?
Explain sis
This seems very exciting, but so long and dangerous |
I think I could pull two weeks off with ease. I usually stay 4 to 7 days in big cities (Beijing, Seoul, Moscow), and 2 or 3 is enough for smaller cities. Travelling in between cities takes time too. I definitely don't plan on spending a lot of time in Mongolia (because that's really just one city), but I could pull off multiple weeks in places like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China and Nepal with ease.
Language and internet are important things, though. I don't mind being on my own however. I think I don't really need to know language for most things.
Lastly all places I listed are a lot safer than Paris or Amsterdam. No way I'm getting robbed in East-Asia, Iran or Nepal. India and Myanmar might be slightly more dangerous (I'm clueless tbh), but I'm sure I'll be okay there too.
Long-ass reply, sorry
