Greetings, thank you for reading my profile! I'm a 32 year old Asian American former health care administrator. I studied Public Health Policy and minored in Women's Studies in university and also have a Masters in Health Administration. I used to run the a department in a hospital and after 10 years in the industry I decided to take a travel sabbatical. Some highlights thus far on my trip include meeting sumo wrestlers in Japan, learning meditation at a monastery in Nepal, completing a 200 hour yoga teacher training in Thailand and watching the sunrise over a thousand temples in Myanmar.

Life is about balance right? I've got a yin and yang. My friends say that I often surprise them. I'm responsible, tidy, considerate, proactive and friendly. Yet I'm also adventurous, spiritual, and carefree. I consider myself to be very liberal and enjoy cooking healthy foods and exercise regularly. I have a few months in Europe before I had off to my next assignment in June 2018. You can check out my travels on my blog: http://sarawei.com/
