I've been traveling around the world for 6 months - here’s the most epic thing I did in each country
[WhatToPackRoundTheWorldTrip (11 of 11)]Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider * THIS PAST MARCH, I LEFT NEW YORK TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD AS BUSINESS INSIDER'S INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT. OVER THE COURSE OF 5+ MONTHS, I HAVE SO FAR VISITED 12 COUNTRIES AND HAD COUNTLESS ADVENTURES. * I DECIDED IT WOULD BE FUN TO PICK THE BEST, MOST EPIC ADVENTURE THAT I HAD IN EACH COUNTRY, FROM OFF-ROADING IN THE DESERT IN INNER MONGOLIA TO VISITING ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD IN JORDAN AND PARTYING ALL NIGHT IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA. * WHILE I HATE TRAVEL BUCKET LISTS, I HOPE THAT SHARING MY FAVORITE RECENT ADVENTURES MAY PROVIDE SOME INSPIRATION FOR BOTH TRAVEL JUNKIES AND THOSE LOOKING TO TAKE THEIR FIRST TRIP ABROAD. ------------------------- I'll be honest: I hate bucket lists. To me, they turn what should be a freeing experience of discovery — travel — and turn it into an endless checklist where you constantly feel inadequate against the things you haven’t done. I prefer traveling with less of a plan. I pick a country beforehand, and maybe a few destinations within, and trust that I’ll encounter amazing people, sights, and adventures so long as I say yes. When I left to travel as Business Insider’s International Correspondent this past March, I approached the trip the same way. From China to Russia to Israel, I have found myself in the middle of more adventures than I can remember. There’s been off-roading in the desert in Inner Mongolia, visiting one of the seven wonders of the world in Jordan, and partying all night in Seoul, to name a few. With twelve countries checked off on the trip so far, I decided it was time to pinpoint my favorite adventure in each place. Perhaps you’ll find some inspiration for your next trip abroad. Here’s what’s gone down so far: THE TRIP STARTED OFF WITH A BANG IN HONG KONG, WHERE I ATTENDED ART BASEL HONG KONG, THE PREMIER ART FAIR IN ASIA FOR MILLIONAIRE AND BILLIONAIRE COLLECTORS TO BUY AND SELL ART. THE FAIR PEAKED WITH AN ELABORATE SOIREE ORGANIZED BY THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART (LACMA). Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider THE STAR-STUDDED PARTY WAS HELD AT HONG KONG'S JUMBO KINGDOM, THE WORLD'S LARGEST FLOATING RESTAURANT AND FEATURED A MIX OF CELEBRITIES, ART WORLD BIG SHOTS, ARTISTS, COLLECTORS, AND — THANKS TO A LAST-MINUTE INVITE — YOURS TRULY. Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider THE PARTY'S EXPERIENTIAL THEME EVOKING 1930S-ERA HONG KONG WAS DESIGNED BY BURNING MAN VETERAN JASON SWAMY, A CO-FOUNDER OF ARTIST COLLECTIVE ROBOT HEART. SOME ATTENDEES, HOWEVER, FOUND THE ALLUSIONS TO OPIUM BARS AND ASIAN COURTESANS TO BE TONE-DEAF. Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider _READ MORE: We partied at the exclusive, sexy Hong Kong party with the art world’s elite on a 62,000-square-foot floating restaurant — here’s what it was like»_ SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER SEE ALSO: * I tried to climb the 'plank walk' in China known as 'the most dangerous hike in the world,' but just getting there was the hardest part * Here are the most common ancestries in every US state * A day in the life of a Miami matchmaker, who charges $15,000 for 6 months and takes meetings at a private beach club SEE ALSO: I VISITED THE GLITTERING GREEK ISLAND OF MYKONOS, THE SUMMER DESTINATION OF CHOICE FOR BILLIONAIRES — AND IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE IF YOU AREN'T SWIMMING IN MONEY
