So you want to know more about me, eh?
Well, I'm a wanderer, a published writer/photographer and a 30-something, generation zero Canadian expat of mixed Asian ancestry.
I've lived in 7 cities and 4 countries but I have visited and hung out in over 85 cities, towns and villages in 11 countries. I was born in Borneo but I grew up on the Canadian prairies. My first degree was in Women's History and Comparative Religious Studies. Then I got extra edumacated with a BFA in Creative Writing, with a minor in Professional Writing, on Vancouver Island on the Canadian west coast.
I like to go places and look at things. I take photos. I scribble in my black notebooks. I eat and I drink. If at all possible I laugh. Laugher is golden. My passions lie in photos, words and travel. And while I have kept journals all my life, this blog is my attempt at keeping a public notebook. I began this blog as an outlet for my creative projects and photos; a way to remind me that I am more than my day job, and to reinforce my purpose for being in Europe - to see stuff and to live fully. My intention is to smash through my creative blocks and sing with the wolves on the other side. I moved to London in July 2010 after having lived in the multi-ethnic barrio of Lavapiés in Madrid, Spain since Fall 2006. These are my stories...

I’m always looking to pick up writing and photography gigs. If you’re hiring writers/photographers – freelance and/or contract – and would like to see my resume, some samples or clippings, drop me a line at shehani_k [at] hotmail [dot] com. Otherwise, since this is my evolving online portfolio of sorts, have a good look around my blog for an idea of what I do and how I do it. Enjoy and I'd love to hear from you!
