About Me
- Louise
- Tales from a self-proclaimed Aussie Nomad in Shanghai. It took me all of my first 20 years to leave Australia, finally ending up in Dili, East Timor in 2000. Since then I haven't wanted to stop traveling. Yet, as simply holidaying doesn't quite scratch the travel-bug's itch, I much prefer to live, work and play in the countries I visit. In my opinion, as insane as it can make you at times, cultural immersion is much more fulfilling than a postcard holiday. Now I am living in Shanghai, with my better half, Philippe, and 20 million others. An artist, teacher and nomad, I embarked on this latest journey in August 2005. And like the best journeys, its final destination is a mystery.

yummmy! ...if you dip them in chocolate it's a great snack for the kids! ;)
Yeah once upon a time I probably would have died too... but... well... I guess my standards have dropped and I have become accustomed to some things I wish I never had!
One time in Nepal a two inch (yes, TWO INCH) long cockroach crawled up my leg in the shower and reached my stomach before I could distinguish the difference between its insect claws and the cold water cascading over my body. GROSS.
