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
