Born and raised in Hong Kong, my passion for travel took shape during my university years as I explored across Asia and Europe. What began as curiosity soon became something deeper. Travel, to me, is a way of understanding life, humanity, and the complexities of our world, while forming meaningful connections along the way. When borders closed during the pandemic, I turned that same curiosity inward, designing cultural and ecological experiences within my local community and uncovering stories often hidden in plain sight—reminding myself and others that travel is less about how far we go, and more about the curiosity and openness with which we see the world. As the world reopened, I carried this perspective beyond borders, continuing to share my passion with like-minded travellers—now on a much bigger playground: the whole world.

The Siamese crocodile is quite different from the aggressive image people usually have—they’re generally shy and less dangerous to humans… which is probably why I made it back alive after kayaking at Crocodile Lake in Cát Tiên National Park—home to over 200 of these rare crocodiles.
"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life." - James Thurber
In Coron Island, I earned my freediving license for one reason—to swim with dugongs, rare and gentle marine mammals often described as relatives of manatees, in the wild. Guided by local rangers, I slipped beneath the surface on a single breath and came face to face with these peaceful creatures. In the stillness of the ocean, with no tanks and no noise, I felt a rare connection—not just with the dugongs, but with the sea itself—something no aquarium or documentary could ever replicate.
