About Me

Hey this is Sue, I just quit my corporate job after 8 years of progressive career in data analytics, and now on the journey to explore well-being industry and alternative way of living! (While live in south east Asia)

***Not in Toronto***

Rough Plan:

2023 Nov - 2024 Jan, Bali, Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia
2024 Jan: Vietnam
2024 Feb: Lombok, Indonesia
Feb-March: Thailand
April-May: Singapore

What makes travel so amazing is always the people.

I have been moving from being a fast-paced tourist to more slow-living style traveller. I enjoy live like the local. To get to know the locals and expats, immerse in their culture, knowing what makes them happy and struggle, and forming a meaningful connection.

This time 2023-2024, I plan to travel more slowly, and more intentionally. (still have room for adventure lol)

—————————————
I have hosted one super nice Japanese girl from CS last summer in Toronto, but unfortunately she is no longer with the community due to sex harassment, and her 100+ nice reviews/memory also gone with it. This community definitely need more respect and care from us.
