My first time in eastern Kazakhstan and it’s been incredible! Off to southern Kazakhstan tomorrow and sad to leave 18°C oskemen and semey for 42° Turkistan and shymkent

Spent the last week in mangystau exploring the incredible landscapes and sacred sites in the region. Was lucky enough or visit underground mosques and sites rarely visited and interviewed several healers (емшілер) as well about the late Soviet period. Can’t wait to share what I’ve learned!

Brave Georgians are fighting for their future and freedom as kremlin loyal thugs are beating protesters. That’s not stopping protesters though! I stand with Georgia 🇬🇪💙💛

Manty covered with caramelised onions is typical for the kyzylorda region! My first time trying them this way.

Hahahaha I do also appreciate the flatness but the irony is not lost on me (hence my being in Almaty every month)

I grew up in Thailand and the United States and my mom is Hakka from Thailand and my dad was Lithuanian from the US. I’m a lover and terrible speaker of languages and like sharing cultural narratives from Central Asia mostly including art and music.
