Hi there! I'm Nadia.

I was born and raised in Jakarta, spent parts of my life in Singapore and the Netherlands... and everywhere in between. Starting a full-time corporate career soon, and I love being thrown to a new environment and being out of my element (because small fish, big pond right?), jamming to old EWF and Missy Elliott on road trips, and really good carbonara. I'm lucky to have great travel memories and have collected stories from locals and fellow travelers, and so here I am sharing bits and pieces like your classmate passing notes.

Elizabeth Pandza

Hi, I’m Elizabeth! I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada (in a very Polish household, I might add). I grew up with a love for history, art, culture, and languages; a love that has made me desire to see every inch of this planet. When I’m not travelling or dreaming of travelling, I am usually painting, reading Harry Potter, watching Friends and the Office, or cuddling with my ginger cat/daughter Misia.

Ivan Chan

Hi there! I'm Ivan. I am a Singaporean and I truly love solo travelling. Solo travelling could be intimidating to most people, especially for first-timers. But all you have to do is to take a leap of faith and just do it. Also remember to enjoy the journey and savour every moment. Three things that I must have to make my trip a pleasant one: earphones, a good book and a portable charger!
