The Maritimes

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.

A bit dark and rainy but a quaintly charming place.

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.

& 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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
