1. Indonesia

The Indonesian archipelago is hands down a heavenly place to visit and explore. Not only is the nation rich in natural resources, but it is also home to some of the world’s most most hidden gems and natural beauties. Home to tropical rainforests and endless tropical beaches, Indonesia is also a growing nation with big metropolitan developments scattered among the archipelago creating the perfect mixture of modern urbanization as well as the more natural and rural habitats.

Looking for a cultural experience? Look no further than this country right here! With the many islands in Indonesia, it’s no surprise that the country is made up of various different cultures and people. To sum it up for you, you’ll be able to get just about everything and anything you’re looking for in the thousand island archipelago. Among others, the Komodo Island, Yogyakarta, Lombok, Bandung and Bali are only a few notable mentions for you to consider and add on to your list of must-explore-places.

2. Vietnam

Having only won their independence in the mid 1900s, Vietnam is still considered a developing Asian country - and is doing so at a rapid rate. So what’s so great about the Southeast Asian country? If you don’t already know, you’re in for a huge surprise. The country was under the French colonization for quite a long while which resulted in the country to own various French colonial landmarks, museums and war remnants which hold so much of the country’s history and journey.

Located just north of the equator, the country presents an all-year-long tropical climate and provides great destinations for you to explore.
