I’ve always been a passionate foodie and having grown up with a Thai aunt who is a chef, I was luckily introduced to amazing dishes from a young age. The generosity of Thai culture and her passion for food sparked my interest about other cultures and cuisine which ultimately lead to my interest in travel.
I’ve found that when travelling, particularly with language barriers, food is one of the most powerful ways to connect with a place, especially in Asia where it is such an integral part of the culture. Alongside this my love for natural beauty and landscapes, notably a stunning sunrise or sunset, is what keeps me wanting to explore more places and seeking out new experiences!
