You're missing a whole lot of adventure and beautiful places - Let's say for an instance you go to a certain city, isn't it more ideal to roam around the city, then go somewhere near outside the city, then just chill in a nearby cafe and observe the locals? Just by roaming around the city can take up to a minimum of 1 full day. Then you would go to a place outside the city then just chill. I'm pretty sure outside the city, there are more places you can discover so why not visit it since you're already near the area? Kuala Lumpur for an instance. Why not visit Malacca and Genting Highlands as well? That's outside city but I'm sure you will enjoy it too.\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n \u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n \u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n And because you're time is limited, you might also not be able to see some of the places in your crafted itinerary because you ran out of time.

It is veryyyy tiring! - I can only imagine how fast paced travel this kind of itinerary is! Not mentioning if you're traveling in Southeast Asia, main transportation for border crossing are overnight trains and buses. If you will do this kind fast paced travel, you won't be able to get a good night sleep! You'll be sleeping in late and waking up early in the morning.

You will never have the chance to admire the place - with this kind traveling, I'm pretty sure you will not appreciate the country you're traveling in as you will only be focusing on taking photos very fast without actually admiring the real thing. Isn't it sad that there's this amazing view in front of you and yet you can't simply enjoy it because you might be behind on your itinerary?

I also made sure we can explore each country very well. Take Laos as an example, as this was my first time there.

What I just want to probably iterate is that traveling is meant to be enjoyed and indulged into. It's a learning experience. Don't go to a place just for the sake of telling everyone you already went there. Traveling isn't a race on whom among travelers already went to certain places. Travelers aren't ranked on how many countries they already visited.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n \u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n \u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n Travelers get fulfillment if they fully immerse their selves in the culture and food or if they learned a thing or two about the locals and the history.
