Who am I?

This post is aptly named because I can tell you my name, where I was born, who my friends and family are, where I've lived, and about all my life experiences but I don't know if you will be any closer to knowing who I am. I mean i lived that life and I am not so sure myself. In fact this blog is for myself as much as it is for other people. Starting today I hope to take myself and maybe you on a literary, emotional, and physical adventure/exploration with the goal being to gain a better understanding of who I am. And even more importantly just really learn to love myself, love my life and (hopefully) by happy. I mean isn't that what life is all about experiencing the world and learning about yourself. So if I start blabbering on I do apologize I promise not all posts will contain this much existential angst (at least I hope not).

About me
Age: 22
Gender: Female (sex and gender identity)
Nationality: Singaporean and American, yeop I got that dual citizenship going on
Where I'm from: I always hate being asked this question because it requires a much longer answer then people expect. I was born in Singapore to an Indian mother and an American father. I started traveling at a really young age (I was so tiny in my first passport photo my dad had to hold my head up cuz I couldn't do it myself). I spent the next couple years traveling the world with my parents and i as I was a baby I remember very little of it but I assume it was pretty awesome. When I was 5 years old we moved to Thailand and we lived in the outskirts of Bangkok. I attended Rumrudee International School for 6 years and at the age of 12 ( my first year of middle school) we moved to Yangon, Myanmar. If you are wondering why we moved around so much, my parents are international school teachers with undeniable wanderlust. We stayed in Myanmar for 4 years (some of the best and worst years of my life) then we moved to Warsaw, Poland for my remaining three years of high school. I graduated High school in Warsaw and then proceeded to go to Kalamazoo College in Michigan, USA. This past summer i graduated from Kzoo college with a bachelors of arts, my major was psychology, my minor was theater and I also had an environmental science concentration. Recently i moved to Vientiane, Laos and am currently living with my parents and deciding what the hell to do next with my life...So I guess to answer the question where I'm from, I have no fucking clue. I have traveled all over the world, seen some amazing things, seen some pretty messed up things, made new friends and said goodbye countless times. I guess my final answer for the question where i am from is both nowhere (hence the title nowherian) and everywhere.
Interests: Mannn so many things: reading, thinking, talking, feeling, living, thrift store shoping, adventuring annndddd dogs!
