Hi!

I’m Eris, a freelance writer / editor from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I’ve been writing professionally for over a decade, mostly in the food, travel, and lifestyle space – but I’ve also been in news (I started my career at The Star, Malaysia’s largest English language newspaper) and had stints in education and B2B writing. I currently contribute to titles including Epicure Asia, Solitaire Magazine, Jet Gala, and Design and Architecture Magazine.

Writing has always been something I enjoyed, and this space is where I pen down my travel experiences, food reviews, and more. So if you’re a new reader, welcome! And if you’ve been with me since the beginning (this blog is officially 10 years old in 2025!) or hopped on the journey along the way, a big thank you for your support, and I hope you continue to find my writing enjoyable / helpful.

Either way, come join me on my adventures and see where Eris Goes To next.

I’m always open to collaborations! Come say hello by filling up the contact box below. If you’re feeling generous, buy me a cup of coffee at paypal.me/erisgoesto

  1. Hello Eris! Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking one of my posts. You have such a lovely blog. Best wishes to you. 🙂

  2. Wait, a second blog? What happened to the other one?

    1. Hey! Nah, it was getting unwanted attention so I made it private and made a more family-friendly new one. 😀 How have u been?

      1. Unwanted attention? Haha. Well, this looks better (and much less personal D:) anyway. Been fine; work (and gaming) is sucking my time out of my own blog.

      2. Aw, thanks. I want to promote it as more of a info blog rather than just an online diary now. Ru still working at the same place ?

      3. Dude… I quit like two years ago. This is what happens when people abruptly stop talking to each other.

  3. Cool sneakers!

  6. I don’t know if it interests you but I included you on my top 15 favorite blogs. The reason also why I nominated you for the Versatile Blog award.. You can read it here: http://luckysketch.com/2016/02/08/versatile-blog-award/

  7. Hi Eris

    Thanks for the follow! How have you been and how’s your blog doing?
    I don’t know if you know that I moved my blog to a self-hosted platform. This has prevented me from connecting with WordPress bloggers like I used to. I would still like to remain in contact with your blog. Do you have an RSS feed I can subscribe to?
    If you would still like to follow my blog, may I add you to my mailing list? I send out one email per day with all the blogs posted for the day including blogging tips. You can also unsubscribe at any time if you feel you want to stop receiving the emails. If you are happy for me to subscribe you, please send me your email address.
    Also, I created a blogger tips group to connect with all my long last WordPress blogger friends, and to help all of us to learn from each other. I would love for you to share your knowledge in the group and connect with other bloggers. Here’s the link:

    Finally, here’s a blog I thought you may find interesting:

  10. Oh wow, Eris! Thanks for stopping by and liking my latest post on my blog. I’ve definitely stumbled upon yours a few months ago before starting my own, and your posts were precisely the kind of things I liked: helpful info about good eats and neat places in KL and abroad. Very cool to be noticed by senpai all this time later 🙂 Good luck on your future endeavours!

    1. Hi Cheryl. ! Glad you liked reading the posts and hope you found them useful. I’m flattered; in no way am I at the level of ‘senpai’. 😛
