It began in Asia for me. In 2000 I visited East Malaysia, which is what really got me hooked on exotic locations. Not long after, at the end of 2001, I began my round the world trip in Asia. Following that were a number of other trips; New Year's Eve in Thailand in 2010, two weeks in Japan in 2011, a short trip to northern Vietnam in 2013, an even shorter stop in Hong Kong, a tour around the southern Indian state of Kerala after a friend's wedding in 2016, a return to Nepal for a trek to Everest Base Camp at the end of 2017, and a brief return to northern India two years later.
