Wei Loh

“I've learned that the essence of nursing is to be with somebody in their darkest hour.”

Growing up in Singapore, Wei always knew he wanted to help people. After studying nursing in college, he worked in both government and private hospitals before deciding to pursue travel nursing. He's now been to over 10 countries in 5 years, providing much needed care to those in need. When he's not on assignment, Wei loves trying new cuisines and has even taken up cooking lessons in his spare time. His dream is to open up his own fusion restaurant someday.

What has been your most memorable travel nursing assignment?

Definitely my time in rural Thailand. Their healthcare system is so different from what I'm used to, and it was a challenge to work with the limited resources. But the people there were so grateful for our help and it was an incredibly humbling experience.

What inspired you to pursue cooking on the side?

Food is such a big part of Singaporean culture, and I've always loved trying new dishes. I think cooking is a way for me to continue exploring and learning more about different cultures even when I'm not traveling.
