About Heritasian.com
My path to founding Heritasian.com was shaped by an early fascination with history and exploration, sparked by childhood experiences igniting a curiosity for maps and ancient things. This interest was also nurtured by my mixed heritage, which has become a profound source of inspiration for this website.
A pivotal journey to Southeast Asia deepened my connection to this region, ultimately leading me to call Chiang Mai, Thailand, home for over two decades. Here, amidst working in digital media, the seeds for Heritasian.com began to sprout.
It was during a particular stay in Penang, Malaysia, that all my interests converged: a love for Southeast Asian heritage, an appreciation for its history, and the power of digital storytelling. From this mix, Heritasian.com was born – a platform dedicated to the stories woven into the region’s past, inviting readers to embark on their very own journeys of discovery in this region.
