Hola reader,

We had so much fun every time we met up in three different countries (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand) #Err… it’s not like what you are thinking about! We both are straight, ok?!  (-_____-)”  You can read the weird yet true story about how we met up here.

Let’s have a little time having a short conversation with this awesome traveler! Thanks Omar for sharing the ideas

How does traveling mean to you?

Where in the world would you crave for traveling and why?

I want to pursue my Kuala Lumpur to London by land trip and hitting all the place in between! It was a goal (before reaching 30 years old) I set and plan to achieve.
