3 years ago, I graduated with what I call a ‘Masters in the ART of communication’ and set off on a career path that promised to emancipate me. 3 years in, I find myself questioning, what’s changed?

With no wands waved, Thailand has a knack for creating magical experiences like a cafe culture that reminds you of enchanted forests you’ve read about in fairytales 🧚‍♂️🐸🐛🍀🍃🧁

Don’t get it twisted, the corona virus pandemic

Don’t get it twisted, the corona virus pandemic is absolutely horrendous as people continue to lose loved ones whilst others put themselves at risk daily.
But amidst the challenges, perhaps there are deeper things we should learn / unlearn. Like the idea that working in an office is more productive than working from home when it’s not. Or that systems of oppression that govern us have our best interests at heart. Like the fact that unnecessary travel impacts the environment and meticulous planning of our lives doesn’t guarantee anything. Or how crashing economies highlight that the world is designed to depress us. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. Being comfortable with our messy, human selves, has never been good for business. Likewise, being calm and content would almost be considered rebellious.

Who doesn’t ❤️ Saturdays. They come with the promise of things like sleeping in. Freedom from overwhelming duties. Repletion of energy levels. Guilt free indulgence. Today, mine happens to be 4 scoops of ice cream because I couldn’t decide on which one I preferred.
Green tea, coconut, rum and raisin and chocolate chip. Which one’s your favorite?🍦🧩✨🍨.

Ever wondered, what happens to those restless people, who dared to unmask it all? Collecting sunsets like postcards, switching career paths to learn and unlearn, moving constantly, accepting flaws and dancing with possibilities? .

Captured the sun going down today. It certainly isn’t the first mesmerizing sunset I’ve witnessed in Thailand. But it is the first time I’ve been offered “fried stupid” for dinner (in other words, fried squid). I guess you can’t help but have a few funny stories related to language barriers here 😝🦑🌅

The comforts of ‘normal’ I’ve always shied a

The comforts of ‘normal’ I’ve always shied away from. Instead, these are the days I’ll remember. Beautiful backdrops and beaches for days. Deep realization, uncertainty and serenity like this. It’s true that living somewhere makes you see a place with a different set of eyes. As such. I’m fascinated with Thailand beyond its street food, fancy resorts and water crystal pools. Beyond its temples and quaint coffee shops, where Thai tea never goes out of fashion. My love for this place is now grasped by more. The calmness of the people I encounter. The calmness in their sense of routine and daily life. Sabai Sabai as they say. The respect for order, probably amplified by the structure of authority. Rebellion is unheard of, as value is placed on the collective rather that the individual. Through moments like these, I realize how short lived and fickle the things we hold onto really are. I guess the paradox of ‘normal’ life lies in knowing when to detach. Why do we race to live an ordinary, monotonous life anyway? .

Living in Mombasa meant frequent visits for me to

Living in Mombasa meant frequent visits for me to fruit stalls all over the island. My favorite was one particular fruit vendor just off Nkurumah road, where to the left, mounds of fruit pits and skins leaked dark juices that seeped down the narrow streets and straight into my nostrils. But man oh man this is where I thoroughly enjoyed some of the most delicious tropical fruits I’ve ever had.
Here in Thailand, it’s not much different. The country's fertile plains and hot tropical climate means exotic fruits are equally in abundance. Yes, at first sight some of them definitely feel strange. Like the spiky stinker durian which is the most expensive and actually banned (yes banned!) from some public places, hotels and planes. Or the deep purple skinned mangosteen with a distinctive delicious and refreshing flavour. Also, fruit carving art and fruit baskets in Thai culture are a way to show appreciation and respect. Sawasdee ka friends, I come bearing gifts 🎁 🧺 🍊🍉🍇

People ask me all the time, why I always trade comfort and security for freedom and experience. Sometimes I ask myself the same question. Wondering if I should have stayed at my corporate job. Built a clear career path and accumulated material possessions. It’s definitely the easier option. But then those moments come when you’re whizzing past palm trees, turning your face into the wind, feeling it sweep across your skin. An invisible ocean of happiness.
Crossing turquoise seas, star gazing on rooftops and sharing food with strangers. Asking the same strangers to photograph you on random swings in random fruit gardens.
I’ve learnt more from bartenders and concierges than I have from boardroom meetings with suited egos. It’s thoughts like these that give me clarity. Of course I miss comfort, the ease of communication, family and the people I leave behind after every journey. But I don’t move halfway across the world nor displace my life for comfort. I (and my husband too), do it for adventure; and my life has certainly been nothing short of that ❤️
