Where my passion for Asia started

I grew up hearing about work and travel through Indonesia and China, but it wasn’t until I started university and enrolled in Indonesian language studies that my passion for Asia really kicked off. Throughout university I spent years in Indonesia, living, travelling and researching and then working at the East Asia Forum, where my interest in the rest of Asia developed. I have worked to carve out a career, outside of academia and government, that allows me to pursue my passion for Asia full-time.
