Our 10 New Year's Resolutions for 2022

Embrace the spirit of adventure and let the new year set the pace for unforgettable getaways in Asia and beyond. Discover our inspired travel resolutions to brighten your 2022 with meaningful experiences, cultural surprises, and vibrant moments near and far.

1. Stop Saying "I Would Like to Go to Asia"

As the French proverb says: "Where there's a will, there's a way." In 2022, unleash your dream of travel and head to Asia! Many Asian countries welcome French travelers with open arms. Now is the time to turn wishes into realities and discover extraordinary cultures and dazzling landscapes. Whether it’s your first trip to Sri Lanka or a return visit, wonder is always guaranteed.

2. Fly for a Good Reason

Let’s be honest; some destinations are better reached by train, but flying becomes meaningful when the journey leads you far, like to Asia. Direct flights from Paris to India or Thailand make the dream more accessible than ever. So, why not take off for an unforgettable Asian escape?

3. Visit the Taj Mahal

Thinking of India instantly calls to mind the legendary Taj Mahal. This 17th-century architectural marvel along the Yamuna River remains one of the most sought-after sites in the world. Visiting the Taj Mahal means opening yourself to a universe of myths, stories, and breathtaking beauty—an essential experience for your travel year.

4. Break Instagram with Palawan Island

After long months of restricted travel, rejuvenate your Instagram with photos from Palawan, a Philippine jewel. Explore El Nido’s luminous bays, Puerto Princesa’s underground river, and the serene Flower Island, perfect for dazzling your followers with postcard-worthy images.

5. Meditate in Bali

Seeking relaxation and a zen spirit? Bali, the Island of the Gods, is an ideal destination to reconnect with yourself through meditation. Let the lush landscapes and tranquil temples guide you to inner peace—a true gift for mind and body.

6. Channel Your Inner Indiana Jones, Without the Ugly Hat

Did you know that part of Indiana Jones’ adventures were filmed in Sri Lanka, especially in the captivating Kandy region? Take inspiration and set off in search of mystery and legend at the famous Temple of the Tooth, home to a cherished Buddhist relic. A trip to Sri Lanka is a promise of adventure and discovery in every sense.

7. Work on Your Summer Body

Imagine recreating the iconic James Bond scene on the pristine beaches of Koh Yao Noi in Thailand. Pack your sunscreen, embrace the sun, and dive into turquoise waters—a perfect place to kick-start your fitness and enjoy unforgettable moments in style.

8. Go to Jordan

Jordan remains a land of ancient wonders, where the lost city of Petra and the silent beauty of Wadi Rum inspire awe. For movie lovers, adventure in landscapes familiar from epic films like The Martian and Star Wars. A trip here is a leap into both history and cinematic magic.

9. Try Pekin Express

If joining Pekin Express isn’t possible this year, nothing stops you from exploring the routes taken by contestants. Discover the captivating cultures and landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Jordan, and enjoy a journey full of surprises and memorable moments.

10. Master the Art of the Unexpected

Push the boundaries of travel by heading to Sicily, where classical relaxation meets adventure. Trade sandy beaches for scenic hikes and yoga between volcanoes and olive groves—a refreshing way to recharge in unexpected ways.
