Edinburgh

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.

& 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 very fulfilling and heartwarming visit to see friends, it was hard not to fantasize a life for myself here. I felt very immersed in this world, already eager for my next time back. I also challenged myself with only a film camera, to varying results

Didn't realize how cold it'd be in these parts in October haha

Vienna is such a wonderful place, class, cafes, and classical music.

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

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.

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

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

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.
