Berlin/Brussels/Amsterdam

One of my favourite cities, a place I will revisit time and time again.

Both sides of my family come from here and it is a place that has played a multitude of roles in my life over the years, particularly in shaping my cultural identity. I grew up coming almost every other year and even lived here for my formative middle school years. I then revisited at the end of high school with my Canadian orchestra group. This visit marks 9 years since I last returned to Shanghai (Asia in general), now fully an adult, this visit was quite meaningful to me.

Exceedingly hot but a gorgeous place in need of a revisit.

I had the fortune of living in Buenos Aires at the end of 2023 for a few months and it is an experience that I will cherish forever.

Made the most out of a 16 hour layover and was amazed by how wonderful KL is and the cool melting pot of Asian culture that it hosts. It was also staggeringly humid

Such a colourful and full of life city. Fun fact, Colombia is home to more native fruits than there are days in the year!

While China in recent years has been known for its rapid modernization and metropolises built ground up, the natural sights of the country are truly jaw dropping

Pretty close to paradise in my books. If Summer was a place, this would be it

I didn't take many photos while here mainly due to how sweaty and active this trip was. Lots of early mornings, hikes, waterfalls, and fruit consumed.

My first time in the Middle East and certainly won't be my last. An amazing road trip full of mountains, sun, water, sand, and good laughs.
