My
Walkabout
"It begins with a Dream"
As I navigate life in Southeast Asia—through temples, tropical coastlines, jungle treks, and remote work sessions—this blog is where I document what’s real. From staying fit on the road to finding peace in unexpected places, my journey is equal parts spiritual exploration and practical survival guide.
If you’re planning to visit, live, or thrive in this part of the world, consider this your shortcut. I share what works, what surprised me, and what I wish I knew before I landed— travel essentials, destinations, personal breakthroughs, and all.
Follow along, learn from my experience, and make your own path through Southeast Asia just a little smoother.

A Day with Giants: My Visit to a Thai Elephant Sanctuary
This wasn’t just another tour—it was a moment that shifted my perspective. I spent the day walking beside rescued elephants in the hills of Thailand, learning their stories and witnessing the quiet power of connection.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to stand eye-to-eye with an elephant in a place that protects them, this one’s for you.
Walkabout
Aboriginal Australians had a strong spiritual connection to the land. They believed deeply in Dreamtime; the message of a dream and honored a tradition called Walkabout. "A time of reflection of the soul, a return to one's roots and family ancestry, a joyous revisit to vistas creeks and waterholes. A time to replenish the food supplies from another region of Australia. A time of balance to harmonise with the sounds and sights of the great land of Australia." Godwinsdatter, M.G. (1981).
I arrived! The sun was just beginning to rise as we descended toward Ko Phuket, and I was immediately struck by how mountainous the island truly is—something I hadn’t expected. As the light spilled across the peaks, I paused, taking in the moment. The flight, though long, had been smooth. But more importantly, I felt present. I closed my eyes and said the most important prayer I know: Thank you.
