Hello and welcome. I'm Sandra — Catholic convert, author, digital missionary, and pilgrim living in Southeast Asia.
This channel is my life as a Christian: faith reflections, sacred journeys, everyday moments in Cambodia, and the occasional cat, recipe, and travel adventure — all seen through the eyes of someone still learning what it means to walk with God.
My story began with a baptism in 2011, continued through 874 km (543 miles) on the Camino de Santiago in 2014, and brought me to witness my father receive the sacraments at 82 in 2026. Still walking.
I've been learning DaVinci Resolve since Feb 2024 — turning raw footage into something more polished, still learning!
I'm also the author of Raised with Him: A Journey of Grace from Valley to Heavenly Perspectives and Realities (2021) — written the old-fashioned way, long before AI could write a book for you — link in bio. For the full story, watch "The Long Road Home: My Catholic Conversion Story."
Peace and Grace be with you.

Tomorrow I'm sharing something that's been a long time coming.
In 2014, I walked 874 kilometres across northern Spain: the Camino de Santiago Frances, and then the Camino Fisterra all the way to the end of the known world before Columbus changed the map. When I got home, I meant to write a reflection on what it had done to me. Life happened. Twelve years passed.
Someone asked in the comments recently: "What made you move to Cambodia?"
Tomorrow, finally — that reflection. Not a travelogue of what happened on the road, but what the Camino actually changed in me, and why I think it led directly to my move to Cambodia. And if you'd like to go deeper, my Camino blog has the full photo diary and written reflections from the road: walkwithsandra.blogspot.com/p/camino.html
See you tomorrow. 🙏
Ultreia.

New recipe out tomorrow! My mom has been making this vegetarian dish for Chinese New Year for as long as I can remember. It may seem complex, since Lo Han Jai has many ingredients, but in this Short format, you can easily follow the recipe. I hope you'll give it a try!

In December '24, I visited Molly Tea in Sunnyvale, California with my cousin. Funny enough, we both noticed the logo looked a lot like Louis Vuitton's monogram at the time. Turns out we weren't imagining it - Molly Tea just lost a $1.5M lawsuit to LV over that exact logo. They're appealing, but still, kind of wild to see it play out. Here's a short clip of the store I visited:

Sad day for the Church today. Yet, Jesus, I trust in You. The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:18 ESV
[18] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
John 17:21 ESV
[21] that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

Just published a new video - would love for you to watch. 🙏
P.S. YouTube changed how notifications work recently — if you haven't engaged with my videos in a while, you may not get notified when I post. Checking the subscriptions feed directly is more reliable for now. Thanks and Peace be with you!

🎬 New video is LIVE — Who Do You Say I Am?
During Eucharistic Adoration, I heard Jesus say to me: make a video about Me.
So I did.
I asked seven people from five countries the question He asked over 2,000 years ago. And then I gave my own answer.
If this video moves even one person to genuinely wrestle with that question — it will have been worth every moment of making it.
Who do you say He is? Leave your answer in the comments. 🙏

New video is up. I made a simple pot of chili and tried to pray my way through it — inspired by Brother Lawrence, a 17th century monk whose book Pope Leo XIV says shaped his spiritual life. If your days feel ordinary and repetitive, this one might be for you.
Where do you find it hardest to stay present to God — cooking, commuting, working?
