WELCOME TO THE TOUR

Glad you could join! Get comfortable and put your best tennis shoes on, I’ll be your tour guide for today. Let’s start the adventure!

THE FIRST STOP.

How rude of me to not introduce myself! My name is Bradtna, and I’ll be your tour guide for the day. I will show you around the whole website in the swiftest AND quickest way possible. I know this place like the back of my hand, so it’s gonna be a piece of cake.

I’ll also tell you about some facts that you wouldn’t know if you didn’t go on the tour :O. Sound like a great time? Perfect let’s get right into it.

Let’s start the tour! I was born and raised in the little bubble of Southern California, and I pride myself on my identity as a first-gen college student and Cambodian American. I enjoy photography, traveling, and cooking KBBQ meats for others (it helps me portion).

UPBRINGING.

Here we are gonna take a slight detour from our tour plans and to keep you in on a fun fact!

The name “Bradtna” sound familiar? No? Well I’m the only person I know with that name, so you might be onto something. Beside the perk of having my own Instagram handle @bradtna, the name is pretty unique. Bradtna is actually a romanized version of the Khmer word for “wish” or “to want.” My parents claim that this is because they wanted a second girl in the family and to this day I still don’t know if they were joking…

Anyways, I was the youngest of four, and my existence was so unexpected that I had to be taped to the family portrait to “update” it (see left). Being the youngest definitely allowed me to be the spoiled, free-thinking child all youngest children are born to be. Despite losing the spoiled-ness, I have kept the free-thinking part of me growing up which I accredit to my fascination with art.

But that’s enough about my childhood, let’s move onto the good stuff.
