5. Tell us briefly the travel story you shared in LOST. (in one paragraph)
My story “Just As We Imagined”, published in LOST Issue Three, is about an adventure in Sri Lanka and how things usually don’t go according to plan when travelling, but instead makes it even more exciting. The unexpected experiences and encounters are often the most memorable.
6. What do you love about travel?
Exploring new places, meeting new people and trying all kinds of food! It’s refreshing to learn about different perspectives and cultures first-hand.
7. What do you hate about travel?
Saying goodbye.
8. Do you like to travel alone or with people? Why?
Both! Travelling alone is thrilling and leaves more room for spontaneity. On the other hand, I think it’s great to travel with one or two people to share the experience with someone else, and to split the cost of meals!
9. What do you think about during travel?
I try not to think so much and just experience what the place and people have to offer.
