Last year I spent a semester studying abroad in Hong Kong, during which I was lucky enough to travel to several countries in South-East Asia. Travelling SE Asia was an unforgettable experience, and in this blog post I want to share some of my favourite destinations as well as some general SE Asia travel tips.

I spent the spring semester of 2019 on exchange in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which is in fact located in Hong Kong, a ‘special administrative region’ of China. I made the call to do the exchange during the previous summer, with the prospect of jetting off to somewhere completely different culture-wise on a pass/fail system being too attractive to turn down. It’s hard to pinpoint why exactly Hong Kong was the destination of choice, but I think it’s perfect for anyone looking to venture in Asia while still keeping hold of certain Western aspects of life.
