Cote d'Azur

Along with Paris, Manhattan is a place that I heavily romanticize. Even though when I visited, it was cold and not too sunny, it was still so full of character

Did the rim to river back to rim hike in an afternoon. Was a bit precarious after starting pretty late but made for a great adventure!

A really zen week of fine foods, onsens, and fresh air

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

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.

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

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

& Laussane + Annecy. At one point, I considered going to school in this part of the world so it was cool to finally visit and see the road not taken.

A city that really feels like several cities that have slowly consumed each other. Love the variety that it has but don't love how car dependent it is to get around.

At an intersection of three countries, Iguazu Falls is true place of natural beauty and awe.
