Fun Fact: Each and every city that I’ve been to has brought me life experiences and I love all of them. However, the city of Lyon, France, still remains my favourite place, not only because of its charm but also perhaps because it was the first destination of my study-work abroad adventure and it witnessed how my global perspective has been built up. Although Paris’s nickname is the City of Lights, it is Lyon where the most famous Festival of Lights (Fete des Lumieres) is hosted to celebrate light and honour the Virgin Mary. Every December, Lyon has lit up with an explosion of light and colour. Public places and buildings come alive with art installations by lighting designers and visual artists. People are excited to find music, dancing, parades and food stalls transform the old district of Lyon into a place flooded with light, beauty and sound.

Fun Fact: I love being in the cities where it’s lively with lots to see such as New York, Las Vegas, and Hong Kong. I enjoy exploring different cultures and cuisines as it provides a glimpse of people’s history, traditions, culture, and values.

Fun Fact: I believe that traveling and visiting different countries offers indulgence for all our senses. Whether it is observing beautiful architecture, savoring local vendors’ foods, or listening to the sounds of the nature, it leaves a lasting impression on us. It becomes part of us. For me that lasting impression is the smell of the Aegean Sea during my stay in Greece.

Fun Fact: My favourite place I've traveled to is Tarapoto, Peru - I love Chocolate, and to be able to walk through a Cacao farm, eat a Cacao fruit and watch the whole chocolate process from beginning to end, was magical. I also learned how something sweet and simple like chocolate could have such a huge economic and cultural impact on the people that produce it.

Fun Fact: I’ve been fortunate to work in Kenya, Indonesia, Nepal, and South Africa which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of living – and taught me the important skill of how to hail a rickshaw, a tuk tuk, a matatu, boda boda, ojek and bakki!

Fun Fact: After graduating university, I moved to South Korea to live and work—and that experience completely changed my life. It opened my eyes to new cultures, new ways of thinking, and ultimately led me to a career in international education. That journey continues to inspire the work I do every day.
