In nom-nom heaven

What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten? It took me almost 6 months to visit my parents after I got married.

All about bugs, bites, and travels

What countries do you want to visit? There’s no time to be bored in a world as beautiful as this. I procured my passport a few years after I got married.

What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I’m an elephant- in the crazy kind of things, I seem to remember from when I was a kid.

I know that…… Continue reading Total recall
