The word \u201cASEAN\u201d is frequently used in Thailand. Some people might look at it as an economic opportunity while others might see it as a positive collaborative process. Jaruwan Supolrai, however, has a different perspective. She sees people as fellow human beings, not just an information stored on a map or a source of any breaking news. One day, Jaruwan decided to resign from her ordinary life and became a solo traveller, wandering through 5 Mekong countries. Having touched the root of diverse cultures in such a simple lifestyle of her new friends throughout her 5,000 km journey in 5 months, Jaruwan has come to realize that the man-made borders between countries should not reflect the way we live our lives. We should put our walls down and let people in \u2013 no matter which side of the border they come from.<\/p>\n
