A Community Love Letter from Bhutan

Henry is the General Manager of My Indie World, a platform focused on supporting independent travel creators, local experience providers, and community-led tourism across Asia. His work sits at the intersection of travel, technology, and storytelling — with an emphasis on building ecosystems that are inclusive, sustainable, and grounded in place.

He is part of the team behind WiT Indie, where he contributes to programme development and content curation, and supports ongoing WiT editorial and community projects. He also helps organise Travel Tech Thursdays KL, a monthly meetup series that brings together startups, platforms, and industry players shaping the future of travel in the region.

With a background in media and partnerships, Henry brings a perspective rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the independent spirit that drives meaningful travel.

Bo Qiang is an abstract artist whose practice is deeply rooted in the rhythms and emotional language of nature. Inspired by mountains, oceans, trees, and open horizons, his works translate natural landscapes into calm, contemplative forms that invite stillness, reflection, and emotional release.

With a background in interior design, Bo approaches art as an extension of space rather than an isolated object. His practice explores the relationship between artwork, environment, and human experience—often integrating industrial materials to create textured, architectural pieces that harmonise with their surroundings.

Beyond aesthetics, Bo’s work is guided by a strong belief in art’s role in mental and emotional well-being. Through functional and immersive art installations, he creates sensory experiences designed to encourage relaxation, presence, and inner calm. Mental health sits at the core of his creative journey, shaping how he conceives art as a quiet sanctuary within everyday life.

Bo is the Curator of xOrdinary, an art platform that challenges conventional definitions of art by spotlighting works and experiences that are quietly powerful, emotionally resonant, and intentionally human. xOrdinary explores how art can exist beyond galleries—within daily spaces, lived experiences, and personal well-being—inviting audiences to reconnect with themselves through subtle, sensory encounters.

He is also the Creative Director at Druk Asia, where he continues to bridge art, environment, and emotional experience across cultural and spatial contexts in the travel scene.

Gigi Liang believes travel should feel nourishing—never stressful, never excluding. As a plant-based travel content creator, ggvegdiary 琪琪素人记事本 and founder of Take a Trip 游乎, she set out to close a quiet but real gap: helping vegetarian travellers move through the world without worry, compromise, or awkward explanations.

Her journey is rooted in care—care for food, for people, for culture, and for the planet. Through stories of plant-based meals, local farms, vegetarian-friendly experiences, and community-led activities, Gigi shows that “eating light” can also mean travelling deeper.

A long-time Bhutan specialist with Druk Asia, Gigi has built deep, lasting relationships in Bhutan, where mindfulness, compassion, and respect for life naturally align with her values. Whether sharing vegetarian discoveries or cultural encounters, her work invites travellers to slow down, eat consciously, and journey with heart.
