Joan Koh*

Joan Koh spent over two decades writing about wellness and design-led hotels in the region. She likes to think her socially conscious business, ​_100 Good Things_​, is a natural progression from travel writing, and certainly born out of a passion for handcrafting traditions she got acquainted with in the course of work, and a desire to make a positive difference. She sources her wares from progressive companies with similar vision of providing local craftsmen with fair wages and benefits so they are empowered to pursue their life goals. ​_100 Good Things_​ is as much her ode to conscious living as it is a platform for well-being workshops and retreats.


Our universe is a universe of constant change. Life is constantly evolving, and we must do what we can to keep up, and go with the flow.

 

For decades, I struggled to find equanimity. The elusive point of balance where one can be content and happy with where one is. This state of mind, which Buddhists call nirvana disregards the chaos and imperfections that exist outside the physical body.
