Some very interesting responses to the question "What has left you speechless and why?" https://t.co/5kD040MOAy

Cheese and wine at sunset overlooking the sea. Could there be a more perfect end to our day on Waiheke Island? #travel #NewZealand #Waiheke #daytrip

Beer and archery may be a bad mix! #Waiheke #NewZealand #archery #daytrip

@travlyng It was a pleasure talking to you too! Looking forward to reading the finished article. Thanks, and happy travels!

@travlyng In terms of how it's viewed, there seems to be a recurring theme of something bad in the body that needs to be flushed out- whether that's evil spirits, or poison, etc. There is great progress being made by these organisations, particularly in educating the public about autism

[Ailish In Wonderland @ailish_casey]

@travlyng I think it's fascinating to see how it is viewed in other countries. In Nepal, many see it as a curse on the family. AutismCare Nepal are doing fantastic work with children and their families. We have also filmed organisations in Mongolia, South Africa & Namibia.

@travlyng I am a teacher for children with autism. We have documented autism charities in other countries. We have met people doing amazing work, & learned a lot about how autism is viewed around the world. Plus working in a school means plenty of time to travel! https://t.co/4t5BteKISq

@travlyng Sadly no. I am currently based in London and travelling when I can. This month I have squeezed in two short breaks to Milan and Copenhagen. Next month I will be travelling around New Zealand for a few weeks. I'd love to be on the road full time, though it is nice to have a base.

@travlyng Our Mongolia trip was amazing- what an incredible country. A highlight was the Eagle Hunting Festival. Our video made the shortlist of the National Geographic Traveler competition & our photos were published in the New York Post https://t.co/e4nvqOPM4L

@travlyng We pitched ideas to several organisations that we thought might be interested in videos promoting or documenting their work. The downside to freelancing is that it involves lots of pitching ideas, most of which never come to anything. But thankfully we had several that did!

[Ailish In Wonderland @ailish_casey]

@travlyng I love telling stories, whether that's through writing, photos and filming. For the future, who knows?? I hope to continue to travel, write, and film the interesting stories of people we meet. New Zealand is next on the travel list!

[Ailish In Wonderland @ailish_casey]

@travlyng I adore Northeast India. I don't know what counts as "Indian enough"! But it is a very different culture to elsewhere in India. We spent time in Lepcha villages, as well as in a Buddhist monastery. It was an incredible experience with fascinating and friendly people.

[Ailish In Wonderland @ailish_casey]

@travlyng I visited all of those destinations on an earlier trip (back when I was 19). It was my first backpacking trip and I loved it (it was where I met my partner, Adam). It was long before the blog was set up. Since then I've returned to India twice, both times to the Northeast

@travlyng "noble" (I think). My full name means something like "noble victorious warrior"

[Ailish In Wonderland @ailish_casey]

@travlyng Everyone in Nepal pronounced my name like "Alice"- hence the name. But it's actually Ay- lish (it's an Irish name, though it even gets mispronounced back home in Ireland!)

[Ailish In Wonderland @ailish_casey]

@travlyng I also photograph and film with my partner Adam for https://t.co/H6QBkneitU, telling the stories of people we meet around the world
