5 Super Side Projects For Asia Travellers

With beautiful landscapes, delicious cuisine and diverse cultures, Asia is a traveller’s haven. But it’s so easy to get caught up in exploring this wonderful continent, that you miss out on other great opportunities that materialise along the way.  With that in mind, here are five super side projects for Asia travellers.

1. Learn a language 

Learning a language makes it easier to communicate and gain a deeper understanding of culture, all while developing a useful skill.

And with free language apps such as Duolingo, learning couldn’t be easier. From Chinese to Japanese to Indonesian, there’s plenty of choices. So download it on your phone or tablet and work through the modules at your own pace, whenever and wherever suits you best.

2. Travel blogging

Writing a travel blog is a very rewarding project. For starters, it’s a permanent record of your adventures which you can look back on for years to come. Also, it allows you to reflect on and share your experiences with friends, family and fellow travellers.

With a blog to develop, you’ll constantly be on the lookout for new and exciting things to do, which will make your travel experiences even richer. However, starting a blog can be daunting, so check out these tips from Article City for support.

3. Cooking

Food is an important aspect of the travel experience, and with such diverse and delicious dishes on offer, you should try as much Asian cuisine as possible.

Or alternatively, go one step further and learn how to cook some of these dishes. It’s a nice way to wind down after a busy day sight-seeing, and imagine how accomplished you’ll feel when you can make your favourite meal on holiday and back home.

4. Art 

Art is an excellent form of expression and with Asia’s breath-taking landscapes, you’ll be surrounded by inspiration. So get out that sketchpad and draw, paint or sculpt whatever you fancy. You’ll feel a deeper connection with your travel destination as you create wonderful works of art.

However, If you’re not the most artistic person, photography is another great side project too. So arm yourself with a camera and look out for unique photo opportunities, building up a collection that showcases your talent and the spectacular sights on offer.

5. Study 

Studying is a great way to enhance your travel experience as it allows you to pursue your passions in a fun and inspiring environment, where you’ll be motivated to produce your best work.

Online educator Anglia Ruskin Distance Learning offers a wide catalogue of courses such as Project Management, Digital Marketing and Teaching. To find the perfect course for you and prepare to return from Asia as a wiser and more confident individual.

With these side projects slotted into your plans, every second of your time in Asia will be fun-packed and productive.
