CURRENT MISSION

Travelling to me is about reaching beyond the bubble of my daily life.

ABOUT ME

So.. I was born in Indonesia. Grew up there too but then spent a year in China learning Mandarin Chinese in 2009 before deciding to live in the land of the long white cloud (Aotearoa, aka New Zealand). Graduated with a degree in International Relations in 2011 as well as a Trinity TESOL Certificate. Currently teach English as a second language, preparing students to go into their tertiary studies.

PHILOSOPHY

Travelling to me isn't merely about sunbathing, shopping, or simply being in another place. It's about reaching beyond the bubble of my daily life, seeing things that startle me, meeting people with different viewpoints and giving back to the world.
