So I suppose that you would be curious about the woman/legend/THE DREA... well here are a few (boring) facts:
My name is Andrea Golia Wangsanata
I'm Asian (duh)
Chinese/Indonesian to be more specific
I turn bright red when I drink =0( DAMN YOU MISSING ENZYME
I really like whiskey and wine though
I'm also somewhat lactose intolerant
But I don't care.. Cheese and ice cream ARE GREAT!!
I grew up in Queens
I'm second generation American
Let's go METS!
I'm an only child
I was raised by a single mom! She's AWESOME :D
I graduated from Syracuse University,
I BLEED ORANGE!
I got a degree in PARTYINGGggGgg.. JK. I was a dual PR/Poli Sci major. But I did partyyy...
I’ve worked in digital marketing for over 12 years
This means I was scrolling on TikTok & Instagram most of the day
This also explains my love for bullet point lists... #corporatelife
Then in March 2015, I quit my job. I traveled straight for about 17 glorious months. I was meant to go back to NYC and continue chasing the American dream aka $$$$ when I met my now husband while doing the Overland HIke…
We then decided to live in his van and travel around Australia… after that we weren’t sure what to do so I flew back home, bartended and decided I wanted to hit the road again since the NYC grind was no longer for me.
Ever since then, we’ve been traveling around the world kitesurfing & living a simple(ish), shoeless life.
I managed to become a digital nomad even before it was trendy (shout out to the pandemic!) while he would do short term contracts in France or teach people how to kitesurf since he’s an IKO certified instructor.
He’s taught in Hua Hin, Thailand; Lemnos, Greece, and Phan Rang, Vietnam. We’ve traveled to Mexico, Dominican Republic, across the USA & Europe, South Africa, and Indonesia together.
I like exclamation marks !!!! and adding excess amounts of letters to emphasize my point
LIKE THISSsSSSsSSsSSsS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a very silly person
I also listen to NPR, read the NY Times, and like watching the Sunday morning talk shows.. u can decipher what this means to you :)
Someone also did a write-up on me here.. i guess andy warhol was right when he said, "in the future, everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame."
If you're still feeling nosyyyyy... just holler at me with any questions :)
