Music, Movies, and Books

🎵 Music is a big passion of mine. From my choir days to playing the piano and guitar at a young age, it's been a lifelong love affair.

I thrive on electronic beats, catchy pop, indie vibes, and alternative sounds. This summer, I'm stoked for Barcelona's Primavera music fest— I was there last year and had an incredible experience. I can’t wait to do it all over again this year.

🎥 In terms of movies, comedies and dramas are my favourites. Bridesmaids, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Gone Girl are some of my favourites.

📚 Not a big reader but I’m going to be bringing a few books with me while I’m backpacking. If you have any recommendations, send them my way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Embarking on a four-month backpacking adventure through Southeast Asia in 2019 was an absolute whirlwind of unforgettable experiences. Each country I visited—Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia—had its own unique charm and left an indelible mark on my journey.

The landscapes were diverse and breathtaking. From the lush jungles of Thailand to the vibrant chaos of Vietnamese cities, I found myself immersed in the beauty and vibrancy of Southeast Asia. Hiking through dense forests, spelunking in captivating caves, trekking through untamed jungles, and cruising along serene waters were just a few of the incredible adventures that awaited me.

However, what truly made this journey extraordinary were the people I met along the way. From fellow travelers sharing stories over campfires to locals generously opening their homes and hearts, these connections added depth and richness to my experiences. Learning about their cultures, traditions, and way of life was an invaluable part of my backpacking odyssey.

Whether it was marveling at ancient temples in Cambodia, navigating bustling markets in Vietnam, enjoying the pristine beaches of Indonesia, or savoring the tantalizing flavors of Thai street food, every moment was a treasure trove of discovery.

This backpacking expedition was more than just a trip; it was a transformative experience that broadened my horizons, enriched my perspective, and instilled in me a deep appreciation for the beauty of diversity and the kindness of strangers. Southeast Asia holds a special place in my heart, and the memories forged during those four months will forever be etched in my wanderlust-filled soul.
