Orana Velarde

My name is Orana and I was born in Peru but lived in the US as a teenager and in Argentina in my twenties. I grew up playing in art studios, inspired to be an artist myself. For ten years, I worked as a Makeup Artist, FX Artist and Hairdresser, always looking for time to write and never finding much. After seven years in Lima, My husband and I decided it was time for a change and our small family moved to South East Asia. First stop Laos, then Bangkok, Phuket and now settled in Bali, we travel around the area on a regular basis. And then i write about it. I try to be bilingual most of the time but English is really the main language al over the blog.
