Saar. 24. Travels. Writes. Does that make her a travel-writer? Not just yet. Loves to bring all her beloved ones, earthly and heavenly creatures, along on her trip.

(*Wishful thinking*)

The story of pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi and the academic and writer Michael Aris; a true story of love set against political turmoil.

I would not mind watching The Iron Lady (Meryl Streep FTW), Young Adult (Charlize <3), Alleen maar nette mensen (Dutch), Martha Marcy May Marlene, The Hunger Games, …
