Well, hello there!

If you’re new here, I’m guessing you’re a little curious about the person behind this space 😊

My name is Auri, though I also go by Hani, Along, Ari, and Kim (yes, I’ve collected quite a few nicknames over the years!)

I was born on June 23 and raised in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. I’m the eldest of 5 siblings—and the only daughter.

I’m based in Kuala Lumpur, sharing my home with a very handsome American Shorthair cat named Jack 🐈

By profession, I work in finance. I did some modelling when I was younger, but eventually chose a path that better supports my well-being, values, and personal goals.

Solo travel has been a big part of my life since 2016. There’s something deeply empowering about being alone in a foreign country—challenging myself, trusting my instincts, and discovering what I’m capable of. It’s a journey I’m still very much in love with.

What is Wanderhoney?

🌸 My creative outlet, born in 2016 from my love for travel and personal growth.

🌸 A space where I share travel stories, life reflections, and everything in between—what I see, what I feel, and what I hope to see in the world.

🌸 Writing here allows me to slow down and put my thoughts into words, honestly and imperfectly. At its heart, a reflection of my own path while connecting with others who may be walking a similar one.

🌸 As a non-native English speaker, it’s also part of my growth journey, helping me become more fluent, confident, and expressive in English.

🌸 A gentle intention to inspire others to explore new places, try new things, embrace different cultures, and prioritize self-love.

Thank you for stopping by!

Love,
—Auri Duham 💓
