Laurence Bradford has travelled throughout Asia. This is where she writes wrote about it.

What does pollution, wealth and health have in common in the six largest ASEAN economies (aka ASEAN+6)? Take a look at this (long) albeit informative infographic. Looking at the first line graph, there is a clear correlation between GDP per capita and Energy Use per capita. Starting in 1990, both factors had an upward trend.

In case you haven’t been diligently following my Twitter feed (shame on you!), I am going back to Southeast Asia this January. This time flying to Brunei. You may be asking yourself “Why?” or more likely “Where is that?” Why– because I figure I may never have the opportunity to go again. If you’re not

I introduce my first attempt at making a video for YouTube. After considering the trend of hyper-shortened videos like those found on Vine and Instagram– I thought a condensed travel guide to Thailand would be perfect.

China is the fifth most popular destination for US students studying abroad. In 2010/2011, 14,596 American students studied in China.
