A bit about me

Hey, I’m Joanne.

I’m Malaysian, drawn more to nature than city life, and much of my travel has come through working on board cruise ships across Southeast and East Asia.

I studied Accounting and Finance, but found my way into the cruise industry in 2016 in a completely different role – first at sea, then briefly on land, before returning onboard. I now work from home.

This is where I write about travel, work, and simple living, as I slowly figure out what fits and what doesn’t.
