First trip to Asia: a practical plan
Published: 2026-02-14
A checklist-driven approach to picking a region, timing a flight, staying connected, and avoiding common mistakes.
The 4 decisions that make or break the trip
- Your first base: pick one starter city for 3 nights.
- Your pace: avoid moving hotels every 1-2 nights.
- Connectivity: get online before you need navigation and rides.
- Money: bring 2 payment methods and know what’s accepted.
A safe first itinerary shape
- Days 1-3: one city base (arrive, recover, orient)
- Days 4-7: add one nearby region or second city
- Days 8-10: slow down and leave margin for weather and fatigue
