Pink Buddha is the umbrella for stories that stem from volunteering, traveling, meditating, and teaching. Think of this website as your dose of arm-chair travel with generous lashings of irreverence and laughing at inappropriate moments. Pink Buddha is not only for people who like the color pink or for people who like the Buddha. This website will appeal to those who love travel writing, creative writing, and dogs. This website will appeal to those who long to break through perceived boundaries and discover new countries and communities. If this resonates with you, welcome!

Featured Story
Artistic Georgetown, Penang
I arrived in Penang sleep-deprived while holding optimism on a short leash. Given my experience in Kuala Lumpur, I didn’t let myself open the gates to unchecked glee.
