The charm of exoticism in Asia

My trips to Asia are mainly directed to two very exotic countries (at least in my opinion): India and the Philippines. My trip to India in the summer of 2011 was my first trip to the far east. It was a backpacking trip and accompanied by three other brave Finnish women. The journey was an experience and India is marvelous in all its confusion in its hecticness. I fell in love with that country, especially the food was good although a bit risky (almost everyone gets some kind of stomach disease in that country). My friends and I traveled the so-called Golden Triangle, which included Mumbai, New Delhi, Jaipur and Varanasi. We also stopped by the northern parts, in the small mountain town of Dharamsala, in Kangara. There we took part in, among other things, a yinger yoga course, which was an experience in itself.

In the summer of 2019, I traveled for a month to the Philippines, which also charmed with its exoticism, friendly people and its own kind of chaoticness. In the Philippines I spent most of my time in the capital Manila, but I also visited Boracay island as well as the Taytay region.
