About

Hi. I'm Arik Chan.

A bit of background:

• 🎾 Certified Tennis Coach – Years on the court. Still love the game. But these days? Pickleball has my heart.

• 📸 Photography Instructor – Singapore People's Association. I teach framing, patience, and how to wait for good light. Prize winner years ago. Now I just shoot for joy.

• 🏓 Pickleball Addict – Still training to coach it. Playing every chance I get. Batam is my favourite place to play because my family can come too.

• 🎣 Fishing Lover – The simple kind. Wooden boat. Hand line. Local company. Grill on the beach.

Why This Blog Exists

This is not a business.

I don't sell hotel packages. I don't charge coaching fees here. I just want to write about what I love and invite curious people along sometimes.

Two destinations. Three passions.
