Hi, I’m Vega—a solo female traveler, recovering lawyer, and the face behind Her Asian Adventures. A few years ago, I swapped my corporate job in Spain for a one-way ticket to Asia, and honestly? I haven’t looked back since.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though—I had no idea what I was doing. I’d never been to Asia, knew next to nothing about the continent, and definitely couldn’t afford a fancy travel agency to guide me.
So, I did what any Type-A planner would do: I spiraled into hours of scrolling through social media, reading travel blogs, and researching everything from budget flights and hidden gems to whether solo travel as a woman was even safe. Spoiler alert: it is, and it’s amazing!
Fast forward to today—after more than a decade of exploring 15+ countries in Asia, I’ve made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and uncovered the travel tips that can help you plan your dream adventure without the stress.
What Her Asian Adventures is All About
Whether you’re still daydreaming about Asia or already knee-deep in planning, this blog is here to help you:
- Plan trips that feel effortless, even if your schedule is packed.
- Travel solo safely and confidently, no matter your experience level.
- Stretch your budget while still having unforgettable experiences.
I get it—traveling to Asia can feel overwhelming. There’s so much to figure out:
Where to stay? What to eat? Will I be safe? How do I avoid tourist traps?
That’s why I do the hard work for you—testing travel tips, crafting itineraries, and sharing practical, no-BS advice to help make your trip as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Fun Facts About Me
Because who doesn’t love a little oversharing?
- I love planning trips almost as much as taking them. Seriously, give me a spreadsheet and an itinerary to obsess over, and I’m in my happy place.
- Hopeless in the kitchen, but I try. I sign up for cooking classes everywhere I travel. Did I master pad thai in Bangkok? Nope. Did I eat every bite anyway? Absolutely.
- I’ve always been a bookworm. I once read 40 books in one summer—so yeah, law school probably made way too much sense at the time.
- Dogs terrify me. No idea why, but I’m working on it. In the meantime, I admire them from a safe distance.
- My ultimate goal? Visit every country in Asia—and then take on the rest of the world.
If any of this sounds like you—or even if it doesn’t—I’d love to connect. Let’s plan your next Asia adventure together!
