I'm a new writer, Reiki Master & Dog Lover. Co-organizer of the annual Japan Writers Conference. A certified yoga teacher who hasn't taught yoga professionally yet. A former full-time lecturer/researcher who'd lived a life I love. An introvert who'd enjoyed time among people on the same frequency, but keeps flowing along with the turbulence.
I was born between banana and corn trees in the country of thousands of islands, between Pacific and Indian Ocean. Over two decades, I've passed borders and blended with other cultures. Medium is the place where I pen anything comes into my mind--things that may resonate with others' experience. See me at www.kartikalestari.com.
Currently, I'm working on my first memoir book and another one, a collection of my reflective thoughts.
