AWW has events coming in Southern California and Singapore!
Hi friends, make sure you’re in our Facebook community group! We have channels set for different countries if you’re traveling to new places and wanting to connect. We also have a couple of updates we’d like to share.
Emily and Ivy are working on a secret project! 😊 We’re bursting at the seams to share, but for now, we’ll share that we have a new TikTok account instead.
Should we create a male counterpart for AWW? Asian Wandering Men? Asian Wander Dudes? Asian Wander Guys? Know anyone who’d be a good fit to help lead and moderate this group? Email us at asianwanderwomen@gmail.com.
