Travel Found Me Before I Found Myself.
It started the way most adventures do — quietly, almost accidentally. My first trips were close to home: weekend escapes around Malaysia, a drive to Singapore. But somewhere along the way, the map got bigger. Japan, China, Morocco, India, Europe, and more to come. Each country peeled back another layer of who I thought I was and revealed someone I hadn't met yet.
Why I Write
I've spent over a decade working in digital marketing and e-commerce — a world that moves fast and forgets faster. That's partly why I write. Travel deserves more than a highlights reel. Books deserve more than a star rating. This blog is where I slow things down and actually think about what I experienced.
A photo tells you what something looked like. A story tells you what it felt like. I want both.
