ABOUT ME

I feel most alive when I arrive somewhere new with my crusty ole backpack, a guide book in hand and having to succumb to my surroundings and trusting my instincts

Travelled thru South America in 2010 where I couchsurfed, danced, beached, snorkelled, ate, dranked, trekked, meditated, volunteered, taught, learnt and lost my way thru all 13 countries

Am a struggling student of Vipassana meditation who loves the sunshine, lying on a beach and am 1/2 Chinese, 1/4 Indonesian, 1/4 Malaysian Australian, cachay?

visited 65 states (28.8%)Create your own visited map of The World or website vertaling duits?
