This is a follow-up to my question from yesterday. My “toxic trait” is that long-distance travel is what really excites me, so Europe is off the list. My initial top choice was South Korea, but the drinking age is 19 and I really want to be able to go clubbing, so that’s also off the list.
Japan’s pros are obvious, it’s one of the top travel destinations in the world. The downside for me is that I’ve already been there with my family, so it might not feel as exciting as going somewhere completely new.
China wasn’t even on my radar at first, but then I saw that Swiss citizens can travel visa-free for 30 days between March 14, 2024 and December 31, 2026, which really sparked my interest.
Taiwan is another option, but I honestly don’t know much about it.
Japan is good if you want to enjoy city life and get drunk every day (I currently liven in Japan), but the drinking age is 20, so if that’s your issue, you need to go elsewhere. However, if you’re interested in the wonders of nature and the occasional city life, China is the place to be. The last few episodes of YouTuber “Itchy Boots”, where she travels through China on an adventure bike, are stunning.
