Grand Canyon

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

Undeniably one of the cultural capitals of the world and for good reason

Being in tech, it's odd that it took me this long to finally stop by the Bay Area but I'm glad I did. Great weather and vibes

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.

"City of the Future". I was oddly reminded a lot of my middle school years living in Shanghai while in Dubai. Very globalized and with sprawling skyscrapers, it felt like another world. I was also "lucky" to be here during a rain induced flood.

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

Castles and kingdoms

Two incredible (and incredibly hot) weeks from Da Nang to Hanoi travelling by sleeper bus and train. First time properly visiting Southeast Asia and can't wait for the next time

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.

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.
