About
Hey there! My name is Elena. I started this blog in 2014, as an online scrapbook. Eventually, I started noting down random things happening in my life, travel notes and rants. A lot of the commentary on this blog is from the perspective of a westerner understanding Asia. If you want to support my work, consider donating through Ko-fi. I hope you enjoy this blog!
