ABOUT TRAVELBOOKWORM

How did I come up with the name Travelbookworm? It’s simple. I’m passionate about two things: travelling and reading.

Whether I’m exploring new destinations or getting lost in the pages of a great book, both bring me endless joy and curiosity. So, combining them into one name felt like the perfect reflection of who I am and what I love.

“Travelling to new places and immersing oneself in books opens the doors to discovery, growth, and boundless imagination.” – Travelbookworm

TRAVEL

In this vast and culturally diverse world, every place has its unique food, traditions, lifestyles, and even flora and fauna, many of which are completely different from what I was accustomed to in Malaysia. Experiencing these new elements firsthand has been a profound eye-opener.

From the warmth of incredible people to the thrill of tasting unfamiliar cuisines, the intricate beauty of architecture, and the breathtaking landscapes, every moment fills me with joy. The constant intake of new knowledge enriches my life in ways I never imagined.

Since August 29, 2023, I have been living in Riga, Latvia, a city that continues to surprise and inspire me. Before this, I spent two years in Seoul, South Korea; three years in Bogotá, Colombia; eighteen months in Giza, Egypt; and five months in the UK.

This journey has taken me across four continents—Asia, Europe, South America, and Africa, each offering its own distinct culture, history, and way of life.

Living abroad has been a privilege, granting me the time to truly immerse myself in each country while also exploring its surrounding regions. I’m endlessly grateful for these experiences, as they have shaped my perspective and deepened my appreciation for the world’s extraordinary diversity.

BOOKWORM

I read books daily, and my Kindle is my go-to companion—rarely do I reach for a hard copy. It’s simply more convenient, especially when travelling or relocating to another country. No heavy stacks of books, just endless stories at my fingertips!

I’ve always had a soft spot for book series. There’s something incredibly satisfying about knowing that once I finish the first book, there’s more to come. Plus, it allows me to truly connect with the characters and their journeys over time.

That said, waiting for the next instalment can be frustrating. Nothing tests my patience like an unfinished series. That’s why I always check whether a book is a stand-alone or part of a series, and if it’s the latter, I prefer to wait for its completion before diving in.

The way I read is a bit unconventional. I start by checking the book blurb, and if it intrigues me, I head straight to the last book in the series to see if it’s truly completed. Only then do I add the entire series to my reading list. But I won’t dive in right away. Sometimes I wait days, months, or even years before picking it up. By then, I’d completely forgotten the book blurb, making every reading experience a fresh surprise.

I also avoid reading the blurbs for the sequels once I’ve finished the first book because I want the unfolding story to catch me off guard. That’s why, in my book reviews, you’ll find that I rarely have any idea of what to expect. You should try it, it’s fun!

If you love Paranormal Young Adult series, whether it’s Greek Mythology, Vampires, Aliens, Ghosts, Witches, Time Travel, and more, you can explore my book list without worrying about dreaded cliffhangers. Unless, of course, I get tricked by the author, who later decides to continue the series after I thought it was complete!
