About Me

Hi I was born and raised in Hong Kong. Feel free to ask me anything about this city because I love my home so much, and a lot’s been going on in recent months. I’d always like to explain how ridiculous our govt is. It’s also my greatest pleasure to know more about different cultures and lifestyles, so please tell me more!

I studied pharmacy in uni and I absolutely hate it!!! I like travelling a lot, esp going solo! My first time travelling solo was going to Tokyo, and I immediately got obsessed with the sheer freedom and happiness of reaching out to strangers and trying out new and weird things because I didn’t have to care about what my companion thinks! Then I travelled around Spain and Portugal in the following Christmas, and even around most of Europe for 3 months in summer 2019! I was so excited meeting many inspirational travellers and locals, hitchhiking with ppl like a Bosnian government official, a yoghurt truck driver and some cool tourists!

Music is always the thing that I go to whenever I’m happy, sad, stressed or relaxed. I love rock, alternative and indie music a lot. But actually I would always like to broaden my scope of music and get exposed to more different genres and artists. I’m the kind of music nerd who likes to turn on different random radio stations on TuneIn App to explore new songs, and I even have a notebook where I jot down my thoughts about interesting songs that I stumble across. So we can talk about music for hours if you’re also into it!
