I know it's a long shot, but what are people's ideas, if any, for alternatives?
In addition to footprint reduction I would in general just like to support other modes of transportation, for the sake of diversification.
My travel would be based out of Seattle and Portland.
Which part of Asia are you planning to travel?
If you are traveling to Asia, it is best to make connections with locals in your destinations. It would be much safer, comfortable, and hassle-free for you.
