Well, hello there!

I’m so happy you’re here. 😊

I’m Auri (though many people also know me as Hani and Kim), a Malaysian travel and food blogger who believes every journey has a story worth telling.

Since 2016, I’ve been exploring the world on my own, finding not only beautiful places but also unforgettable food, meaningful conversations, and moments that have changed the way I see life. Wanderhoney is where I document those experiences, hoping they’ll inspire you to create your own.

If you’re planning your next trip, looking for a restaurant worth trying, or simply in the mood for a good travel story, I hope you’ll find something here that inspires you, helps you, or makes you smile.

A Little About Me

I’m originally from Ipoh, Perak and now based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

By profession, I work in finance while also pursuing higher education, always believing there’s something new to learn and another way to grow.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me planning my next adventure, searching for hidden cafés, taking far too many photos, or spending quiet evenings at home with my American Shorthair cat, Jack.

I’m also the kind of person who enjoys wandering without a strict itinerary, ordering something I’ve never tried before, and collecting little memories that often become stories here on Wanderhoney.

Why I Started Wanderhoney

Wanderhoney began in 2016 as a personal journal to document my solo travels and the little moments I never wanted to forget.

It has always been my creative outlet, inspired by my love for travel and personal growth. What started as something I wrote for myself gradually grew into a space where I could share my travels, the food I enjoy, the thoughts I carry home, and the little pieces of life that inspire me along the way.

Writing has become much more than documenting where I’ve been. It allows me to slow down and put my thoughts into words, honestly and imperfectly. Along the way, it has become a way for me to reflect on my experiences, understand myself a little better, and appreciate the moments that continue to shape me.

This blog has also helped me find my voice. English isn’t my first language, but every article I write gives me a little more confidence to express myself, become a better storyteller, and connect with people I may never have met otherwise.

Everything you read on Wanderhoney is based on my own experiences. I simply share what I saw, what I felt, and what I learned, hoping my stories offer an honest perspective rather than all the answers, and perhaps inspire someone to see the world a little differently.

Let’s Explore Together

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for spending a little of your time with me.

I hope Wanderhoney becomes a place you’ll return to for travel inspiration, honest experiences, and stories that remind you there’s always something new waiting to be discovered.

Until our paths cross again, happy travels.

Love,
— Hani (Auri)  💓
