The sound of my phone pinging as daily work emails started to filter in for the day would put my teeth on edge as I slowly counted the days down to when I would finally be free to travel. I

As I sat at home sipping my morning coffee with the chirping birds, finally recovering from the myriad of corporate burnout, Hong Kong harsh covid lockdowns, and from country hopping, I knew it was time to get my butt into

I am a huge fan of Omeida Chinese Academy after spending an intensive Mandarin fueled week there where I surpassed every goal I set for myself thanks to the academy’s dedicated teachers and friendly staff.  Nestled in the breathtaking town

I woke up at 2am that morning, my nerves going into overdrive as my imagination created deadly scenarios that would involve steep drops and stormy weather. It was more the fear of the unknown, of not knowing what we were

Manaslu trek, a fourteen-day hike through Nepal’s scenic Gorkha district - where rhododendron forests are interspersed with gushing waterfalls that lay nestled in the valleys of the tallest mountain range in the world - is a trek known for being

Out of all the places still on my bucket list to see, I have decided to go back to the Himalayas of Nepal to do another trek next week. Nearly dying of cold and misery on Everest Base Camp wasn’t

I keep oscillating between awe and struggle as I make my way through the Himalayan mountains, home to some of the tallest mountains in the world. I honestly find it hard to believe that I am actually here! The first

I quietly flew back into Hong Kong for an unforeseen tragedy. Peter Phillips, a large community benefactor, loving father to a very close friend, and a wise mentor of mine unexpectedly passed away. No words that I write here can

Honestly I wish I had had more days in Malapascua. I thought for at tiny island with it’s main global draw being its thresher sharks, that two full days on the island would be enough to see the sharks and

Since I’m still getting into the groove of traveling I didn’t think of marking down how much things cost me as I spent my time in the Philippines. So as I sit here resting my foot in Ubud, I figured

To say I’m clumsy and accident prone would be an understatement of fact, and to say I can surf with any ability is an overstatement of fact. I’m not ashamed to say it but I am a bit of a

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over half a year since I decided to pack up the life I’ve been living in Hong Kong to go traveling the world. I’ve been out in this Asian hub for the past
