ABOUT ME

My name is Nelly Andon. I am a wife, a mother, a travel addict, a crazy gardener, a foodie and someone who never stops exploring ways to make the world a better and happier place to be.

This website is a medium where I share my stories and my love for;
– travel, sharing my global travel experience with you
– this planet and my contribution to help make it a better place for us to live in
– humanity, “All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family,” said Gandhi, and I am holding this statement dear to my heart.
– global culture and tradition and making some contribution to help preserve them
– delicious food and always learn how to cook them for my family and friends.
– gardening (a bit of a mad gardener), sharing my passion, knowledge and my stories from this corner of life
– all things great!!

On this website, I share a lot about my journeys to remote places in Indonesia, where I have devoted many years exploring and learning Indonesian handmade textiles (Batik, Ikat, Songket & Shibori). I feel truly blessed to have spent valuable time with the amazing artisans from around the archipelago and learned a great deal about Indonesian textile culture from them directly. I  connect with textile artisans from around Indonesia through a small charity I founded in 2000 www.connectindonesia.org. The stories about my textile exploration can be found in my textile blog www.wastraindonesia.uk
