About Me
One lonely traveler
Sahand Sedghi
Webmaster & Photographer
Walking to his own beat led him out of his country three years ago and has kept him on the road less traveled ever since. Whether sword fighting in a tiny village in Japan or jumping from bridges in Africa, he has managed to survive every adventure and still get a great photo. What little time is left between continents has been filled with music, surfing and searching out the best ice-creams on the planet.
All photographs, videos and web design by Sahand. Stories are written or edited by Mary Slaughter.
Edit: I have returned back home to Los Angeles and started a Web design, web marketing, SEO and consulting agency in Los Angeles.
I pack my backpack again and again and buy the cheapest tickets I can find and fly somewhere new to explore temples and wade through markets where they sell Buddha statues and knock off Birkenstocks for less than it costs to get your car washed in LA.

The Long Wander Content
TheLongWander.com is a collection of stories, facts, and photographs of Asia from my travels. The stories featured touch on a variety of subjects, but my passions are the places I explore, people I meet and the history, art, culture, and challenges I discover in each new place. I am presently traveling and writing about the following places: Burma, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. I am always searching for new assignments.
TheLongWander.com does not sell tickets or tours. I publish stories and share experiences that may be useful or of interest to my readers, whether they are just curious, want to learn about a country or a particular subject, are planning their own trip to Southeast Asia, or are currently traveling in this region.
TheLongWander.com is, foremost, a part of the travel community. I love to tell my stories, adventures, and misadventures to everyone I meet (whether they want to listen or not;) and I love hearing about others' experiences. I hope my readers will find everything featured on TheLongWander.com useful, interesting and entertaining. I am pleased to bring these stories and ideas to the public and encourage anyone interested in publishing or featuring any of my work on TheLongWander.com to contact me.
