Needing a break from the monotony of Brunei, I booked flights to visit Penang, an island located north east of Kuala Lumpur. Penang is known for being a British colony and was captured by the Japanese during WW2.

Panchakarma Treatment, Sri Lanka
While visiting one of my yogi friends in Australia this spring, she mentioned that I should do a panchakarma treatment over the summer.

“I’m coming to Thailand. How do I tell people I need gluten free food?”
A few people have asked me this recently, and I got caught in a new restaurant without my card. So I’m going to share a little translation with you, that you can print and take out for dining.

My Great Canadian Food Adventure (Ontario & East Coast)
So Canada is a good place for Celiacs. I only starved thrice – on Korean Airlines to Toronto, and in Campbellford, Ontario and Ingonish, Nova Scotia. It can be a bit tricky to cater for my diet, as I require gluten and dairy free, but choose not to eat meat. I still have fish andContinue reading “My Great Canadian Food Adventure (Ontario & East Coast)”
