This was the very first cycling tour I did one year ago (10-13 August 2018) and the one that sets off the chain reaction for many more cycling tours now and in the future.

Hello! I am Suri and originally from SelatPanjang, Riau Island, Indonesia. It is a very small town with no cars, no airport, no shopping malls. We travel by bikes, motorcycles and tricycles! and we use ferries or boats to travel out of town. Interesting isn’t it? I left my hometown for Singapore when I was 13 years old for education. Lived in Singapore for 4.5 years then moved to Melbourne, Australia for University. I am currently living in this beautiful city, Melbourne, Australia for close to 9 years now. Although far away from home and family, I still love my life here very much and hoping to stay put.
Currently, I am a PhD Candidate studying the metabolism of turmeric by the gut bacteria at the University of Melbourne. This study encompasses multidisciplinary areas such as chemistry, microbiology and biochemistry. Currently writing my thesis and hoping to graduate ASAP! When not working for my PhD, I pursue my other passions in life! My passions for food and photography! To read more about me, visit my blog at snippetsofsuri.com. See you there! :D
“How sweet the morning air is! See how that one little cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo. Now the red rim of the sun pushes itself over the cloud-bank.” – Arthur Conan Doyle.
I am not an early morning person. I am more of a 7am wake up, very slow moving to get ready, have my coffee in peace while checking the news kind of person. My ideal start to the day is 8am…so to get up early enough for a sunrise shoot has always been a challenge. It is probably why I joined a photography tour so as to force myself to get up early!
