Welcome to Adventures Around Asia!

My name is Richelle, and I’m a 25-year-old from Seattle who has been living, working, and eating her way around China for the last three years. I currently live in Beijing, and I spent my spare time traveling around Asia.

Whether you’re looking for some travel inspiration, practical tips or crazy stories, I’ve got you covered! To help you find the best of the best, I’ve picked a few great posts as a starting point for exploring my blog further.

So sit back, relax and prepare to be entertained.
