Places, Cultures, and Identities

I'm currently based in London, UK. Prior to that, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for two years. I was born in Guangdong, China, and immigrated to Hong Kong with my parents in my mid-childhood. Growing up as a digital native, I've been heavily influenced by the Internet and pop culture from the West. I identify myself as a "Glocal Netizen" who embraces glocalism, techno-progressivism, and equality, as opposed to nationalism, status quo, and privileges.

Traveling is my way to live out my cosmopolitan life. So far, I've been to Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Israel, Taiwan, Australia, South Korea, and Japan. Thanks to COVID-19, I'm way behind schedule to check out the 10K+ cities in my 'to-go' list.
