It had been two years since Johnny and I had visited Hong Kong together. And even though I’ve been back and forth solo since then, we had a long to-do list on this recent visit — especially since we’d upgraded our camera equipment and wanted to re-capture a lot of Hong Kong’s top tourist spots. […]

Hong Kong is more than just a haven for shoppers or a paradise for foodies. While most people may not think of Hong Kong as an adrenaline-fuelled destination, there is plenty of adventure to be had there. With great weather year-round, outdoor activities are always an option that most people never even think about when […]

Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Aqua Luna in the Sparkling Victoria Harbour. Hong Kong will elicit sensory overload from just about anyone who is unsuspecting– the lights, the smells, the sounds. At first the city can be a little intimidating with its densely packed […]

Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of outside my window in Hong Kong. When I first visited Hong Kong, I was amazed by constantly seeing green mountains and blue seas every which way I looked. Coming from the Midwest, neither mountains nor ocean were things I were […]

Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of a gentoo penguin in Hong Kong. Today is World Penguin Day, and as Johnny’s favorite animal, I felt the need to pay tribute to these cute flightless birds. I honestly never gave much though to penguins before meeting Johnny, and I […]

Before my much-needed break from work came to an end, Johnny and I ventured out over an hour to Lam Tsuen. Located, well, in the middle of nowhere, Lam Tsuen is comprised of 23 traditional Chinese villages. While this area would normally never be frequented by visitors, during Chinese New Year people flock here by the bus […]

Lunar New Year Fairs begin popping up all over Hong Kong one week before Chinese New Year officially begins. These colorful markets sell anything and everything you’ll need to celebrate Chinese New Year. You’ll find red envelopes, auspicious snacks, toys themed after the new year’s animal, and decorations. While I had a fun time browsing through stall after stall […]

Can you believe winter is almost here already? I know I sure can’t. Maybe it’s because Hong Kong is still a nice 80°F outside, but it didn’t dawn on me until the other day when I went inside a mall that was decked out in Christmas decorations and music. Then I realized that November is […]

Hong Kong is famous for its towering skyscrapers, neon signs and expansive harbor. When asked, many travelers admit they’ve only considered Hong Kong as a destination for luxury shopping, spa pampering or dining. While I love photographing the glitzy skyline and luxury brands lining the streets, there’s also another side to Hong Kong. A side […]

Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Permanent Chinese Cemetery in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong. Death is a subject no one likes talking about, but in a place as crowded as Hong Kong, just what happens after people pass away? With Hong Kong being […]
