Hi! Nice to meet you:) I am Bob Pang, a backpacker and musician from Hong Kong. I'm backpacking and vlogging around Africa with my violin since Aug 2022!

Last five years, I kept traveling around Asia. Volunteering and jamming music are always the most enjoyable thing during my trip. I've travelled around China and Taiwan for music exchange, around Mongolia and Malaysia for volunteering. Every time when I staying at host or hostel, I feel great to talk with people with different background, knowing other's stories and sharing my stories was always meaningful and warm, which became my passions for traveling.

I mainly work in music industry. Teaching violin and guitar student is my main job (some keyboard and music theory student lol). Also I enjoy gigging in bar, restaurant, wedding party so much, even busking on street. Once I have chance sharing my music with others, it will be great.

Welcome to follow my Instagram / YouTube and contact / chatting with me:) Thanks guys!
