สันติภาพ

My first encounter with Thailand happened about seventeen years ago.

I surfaced from a grey winter and suddenly found myself in a different reality – warm and bursting with color.

Thai sabai soon lit up my life, and I became a regular guest in the Kingdom.

I’ve knocked about the world a fair bit since then, but Thailand always held a special place in my heart, waiting for its moment. And I came back! This time, to stay.

I’m curious by nature, and I take real pleasure in exploring new linguistic and cultural spaces. Thailand, in this respect, is a dream. Accessible, understandable, user-friendly on the surface. But beneath that apparent simplicity lie layers of fascinations and mysteries.

Here I delve into Thai culture and language. I also explore places and make friends with local cats.

I am originally from Odesa, Ukraine. I moved to Luxembourg about fifteen years ago. Later lived and studied in Scotland – a graduate of The University of Edinburgh, with a Master’s in Linguistics and Language Teaching.

I consider my real education to be almost five years of travel. In that time I visited more than 40 countries, lived in 5, met all kinds of people, and saw the world.

I am not selling anything here. This site is not a business – it is a way to feed my curiosity and add more meaning to my life here.

Sawadee Krap, and welcome!
