Hi! I’m Shayan. An adventurer and explorer of all things – unseen or popular.
My day isn’t made without at least one adventure or an epic experience. That means I’m always on the lookout for discovering a new destination, attending a cool music festival, or trying delicious food. And of course, writing about it and sharing it with the rest of you.
Along the way, I enjoy meeting new people or improving skills such as photography and editing.
A little bit more about me.
I was born in Pakistan but moved to Bangkok when I was just 10 years old. Now it has been over 25 years and I can safely call Thailand my home, even though I don’t have a Thai passport or speak Thai fluently.
By the way, I really dislike questions like “where are you from?” and “oh so you speak Thai?”
Ask not where I’m from. Ask where I’m going next.
I’ve been to about 13 countries (I’m not really counting) but I am actually more interested in ticking off all the provinces of Thailand as an ultimate goal. So far I’m at 40 out of 77.
While you are here and if you like my content, I’d love it if you supported my travels so I can continue to create some awesome guides and posts for you.
Simply visit my Ko-fi profile and donate. I would be so grateful!
How it all started
There were two main reasons why I started Dose of Life. The first was because many friends and family would always ask me where a specific restaurant or destination was when I would go there.
The second was that it was a way to escape the mundane of everyday life. A reason to go explore the known and the unknown whether in my own neighborhood or the world.
If there is anything else you would like to know, just send me a message on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
