Through Young Eyes is a lively, honest and deeply observant journey across six extraordinary Asian countries—Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Bhutan.

Moving beyond predictable sightseeing lists, Neil Sethia explores what it actually feels like to arrive somewhere unfamiliar: navigating Tokyo’s silent trains, crossing Vietnam’s motorbike-filled streets, eating through Bangkok’s markets, island-hopping across the Philippines, discovering Korea beneath the glow of K-pop culture and hiking towards Bhutan’s cliffside Tiger’s Nest Monastery.

Blending personal observation with practical guidance, each chapter introduces the cities, neighbourhoods, landmarks, foods and everyday customs that give a country its character. Along the way, readers will find vegetarian recommendations, useful local phrases, cultural rules, the best times to visit and refreshingly direct advice on what may not be worth their time.
