If youre looking to go on the adventure of a lifetime,

you cant go wrong with a trip to Southeast Asia.

After spending some time in this unique place, I

quickly discovered why it draws in travelers from all
over the globe.

This dreamy destination is the perfect place for

backpackers, as it is relatively safe, inexpensive and
easy to navigate.

But most importantly, this location is filled to the brim

with all sorts of action-packed adventures and
unforgettable experiences.

The Far East is home to busting cities, beautiful

islands boasting world-renowned beaches, tropical
jungles, ancient cultures and natural wonders.

So whether youre into sipping pia coladas on a

beach, exploring coral reefs, riding elephants in the
jungle or checking out a variety of incredible ancient
temples, Southeast Asia offers a wide variety of
attractions that are sure to suit every type of traveler
out there.

Plus, this beautiful region is also pretty flexible when

it comes to your budget.

You can stay at inexpensive hostels, hit up the local

food markets and sip on Asias infamously cheap beer
to stretch your dollars.

Paradise found. The Komodo Islands are like
nothing I've seen before; an endless maze of
uninhabited islands sliced up into the most
beautifully random shapes and sizes that soar high
in the skies and plunge low into the coral coated
depths. Oh yeah, and dragons live there.

Volcano vibes are best experienced at sunrise.
After a 2.30am wake up call and a midnight hike,
we made it to the summit of Kelemutu. From the
top you can see 3 filled craters bubbling hot and it
literally takes your breath away. Indo, we love you.
