About Me
I’m a Balinese who can’t function without coffee, enjoy taking photos of beautiful objects and love to travel whenever possible. Currently residing in Shanghai with my loving husband and a first grade daughter who kept me busy with their constant demand of attention, I am so blessed.
This blog is my way of keeping family and friends up to date with our adventure, enjoy!
