Just got back from an epic journey covering Gaya, Kathmandu, Incheon, and Bangkok—think ancient stupas, bustling shrines, next-level museums, and a touch of anime culture 🤩🌏 The highlights?

Travel Tips:
Getting around is easiest by public transit, tuk-tuks, or apps. Currency exchange is plentiful, but always carry small bills for shrines. Kathmandu tip: stay at Hotel Mudita for Boudhanath proximity and onsite Gora coffee. Temples are early-bird friendly—beat the crowd and the heat!
