I live in Hong Kong. Other cities I've lived in are Shanghaiπ₯ , Miamiπ΄ , and New Yorkπ½ .
I grew up as a TCK (third culture kid born in Hong Kongππ° , raised in Shanghaiπ¨π³ , attended American international schoolπΊπΈ). I was lucky enough to experience many different cultures.
I've been to 18 countries. I love learning about different cultures and experiencing new cuisines.
I love eating everything and anything, except olives and eggplant. Check out my food Instagram here.
I can speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin. I am currently learning French and Korean.
I'm trying to read 100 books this year. I love reading fiction, biographies and the occasional mystery. This is what I'm reading right now.
I am usually the office snack lady. I bought Costco-sized goldfish only, never regular-size. So I had a lot of goldfish to share.
I am the go-to restaurant recommender among my friends. I am known to obsessively (meticulously) star β restaurants on my Google Maps. I'm still working on my HK Google Map but if you want to see my NY one: here.
I watch a lot of TV but my all-time favorite television show is The West Wing. I also love watching cooking shows like The Great British Bake Off.
I love going to concerts and listening to music. My favorite artists are BTS and BeyoncΓ©.
