Raised in the woods of Northern Wisconsin, adventure pulses through Samantha's veins. Among the most notable adventures have been teaching agriculture in Kenya, WOOFing in Turkey, and learning French in the Haute Savoie region. Now a mother, traveling with her small-but-mighty clan has brought new joys. Biking in the Netherlands, hiking the cliffs of Malta, as well as seeking out every street cat in Istanbul come to mind. When not traveling, Samantha teaches ESL and is attempting to learn her husband's cuisine from the Maghreb.
To quote beloved Sufi poet, Rumi, "Travel brings back power and love to your life." She could not agree more.

BethMy interest in travel started from childhood and when I was a teenager, I went for my first solo backpacking trip to Paris and London. It resulted in my working in the Tourism Industry and eventually becoming a nationally licensed Tourist Guide of Malaysia. I managed to go to almost to every corner of my country and now, have become a trainer of Tourist Guides imparting knowledge and experience to the new guides. I want to share and provide local experiences to travellers who come to Penang. Being from the Baba Nyonya community, I had the privilege of learning how to prepare their delicacies from young. Partaking in the cuisine is definitely part of the local experience. With my years of being a heritage and cultural guide as well as a nyonya who cooks, I hope to share an inside look into my culture, taste and memories.
