who am i?

I was born in the 1980s, the fourth and final child of Khmer parents who settled in the United States under political asylum. A multilingual and multicultural upbringing forged a path I would traverse some thirty years later, where I would end up as a localization specialist on the west coast of Sweden - 5,000 miles away from home in a climate that is vastly different from the year-round sunshine of my childhood in Los Angeles.

My life in Sweden began in Stockholm, where I spent less than a year before spending seven wonderful years in Gothenburg. Nowadays, I am calling Stockholm and Malmö home.
