Welcome to Quest for Durian – a space for fellow travel addicts, food lovers, and adventure seekers! I’m Agni, travelholic, Chinese Medicine Doctor, foodie, and avid blogger. Since 2005, I’ve been chasing my love for durians across 40+ countries, from bustling night markets to remote islands. I even trekked to Everest with just a guitar on my back!
Currently based in Vancouver, Canada, I often spend weeks (or even years) immersing myself in the places I write about. My mission is to help you travel smarter and inspire more adventures!
Not sure where to begin? Check out some of my favourite travel stories below by clicking on the pictures – from street food finds to hidden gems. If you’re looking for tips on specific destinations, head to the Destinations tab in the menu above or if you’re more of a cartography buff, head directly to my Interactive World Travel Map where you can survey the layout and select your realm of interest. And don’t miss my Travel Resources page for my top picks on where to book flights and stay.
Enjoy exploring! If you find my site helpful, feel free to buy me a coffee here. May the adventure begin!
