Angela Arbab is a freelance writer, teacher and full time adventurer. Her journey took her to amazing places and she had the pleasure of living in two of her favourite countries and experiencing the abundance of sunshine and smiles. She has worked in vast areas from journalism, content creation and product testing to customer service and teaching, but they all had one thing at their core and that is human connection, communication and writing. Her passion for writing and reading always got her in trouble in times of travel because she still prefers paper and pen and old school books. So imagine the size of that luggage and maybe now it is just too heavy for her to pack up and leave. So here she is in Bali for over five years. To be a full time freelance writer would be the goal while part time community organizing at the local library. In her spare time, memorizing trivia answers and reading are her favourites but so are walking in nature and crawling in a corner while watching the classic ninety minute romcoms.
