TRAVEL SIMPLE
A Life of Exploration: Solo & Senior Adventures
Traveling has been the core of my life, exploring over 30 countries. Solo travel since I was 22 has broadened my worldview. I have been exposed to cultures, architecture and ways of life which ignited my passion for exploration and has given me a deeper understanding of the world.
In the past two decades, traveling took on a new meaning for me: exploring alongside my mom. We explore hidden gems like local shops and markets in charming off-the-beaten-path towns beyond the typical tourist path. These adventures allow me to indulge in my love of tea, savoring unique flavors in each new location.
While pre-pandemic trips were jam-packed with sightseeing and culinary adventures, my priorities have shifted. Now, my focus is on crafting safe and fulfilling experiences for my nearly 90-year-old mom.
Through these unique experiences, I've gained valuable insights on maximizing the benefits of travel, both for solo adventurers and those venturing out with a senior loved one.
MEDITATE DEEP
A Life Steeped in Mindfulness: My Meditation Journey
My mindfulness journey began at six years old. In Thailand's Wat Sakae, I learned from the wisdom of Luang Pu Du. His teachings went beyond words, igniting a lifelong path to inner peace.
Meditation became a daily habit. It became more than just stress relief. With consistent practice, I discovered a wealth of benefits. Meditation fostered a deep well of inner peace, a calmness that helps me navigate life's challenges with focus and clarity. It heightened my awareness. This practice has become an essential part of my well-being, both physically and emotionally.
A Loaf of Love: My Baking Journey
My love for baking started with a simple goal: to make my mom happy. She's a huge fan of French bread, so I decided to learn how to make the perfect loaf. After honing my skills at Le Cordon Bleu, I felt confident giving it a try.
During the pandemic, I found a way to share my passion with my village. Inspired by both my mom's love and my Le Cordon Bleu training, I started baking French bread for the community. It was a hit, especially with the British expats. They were impressed by the authentic taste, which showed me that all my efforts had paid off.
While I don't bake bread as often anymore, the experience left a lasting impression. The joy of creating and sharing something delicious is something I'll always cherish.
