Taiwanese Lady Marries Safari Tour Guide In Africa, They Now Have 2 Kids

Ever dream of travelling overseas, falling in love, and settling down? It almost sounds too good to be true, but that’s exactly what happened to Lu Lee-Kombe.

Born in Taiwan, Lu has always been well-travelled but it was on one particular volunteer trip to Africa that changed her life forever.

While on the trip, she met Sam, a young and friendly Tanzanian safari tour guide.

In a joyous twist of life, she’s now happily married to Sam, with 2 kids.

The family lives a life that many can only dream of, travelling around East Africa.

She always wanted to be a writer

On Saturday (3 Oct), Ms Lu recounted her unique life story on popular Facebook group Subtle Asian Traits.

Born in Taiwan, Ms Lu moved to Canada at a young age. After her travel experiences, Ms Lu was certain she would settle down in Asia.

Ms Lu had always loved reading, writing, and drawing and early on, she knew she wanted to be a writer.

But like most of us with Asian parents can relate to, Ms Lu’s parents had aspirations for the kind of career they wanted her to pursue.

They wanted her to be a teacher or a civil servant. After trying her hand at both, Ms Lu felt these career paths just were not for her.

She decided to go back to school to get a Masters’ degree. However, life had more exciting things in store for her.

Joins Africa safari & meets tour guide Sam

Before going back to school, Ms Lu chanced upon many books, documentaries and articles about Africa. It piqued her interest and led her to sign up for a volunteering trip to Tanzania, East Africa.

In the spirit of spontaneity, she also signed up for a 3-day wildlife safari tour.
