Beijing, China

Ancient capital city of China. Having minimal travel experience outside the Americas and Europe, Beijing as my first Asia adventure was humbling, heart and mind opening, and a magnificent immersion in a part of the world unlike anywhere I’d seen before. Planning can be a bit intimidating, but the trip was all the more rewarding for that: adventure of a lifetime.
