Welcome to Lily Wunders! Join me as I share personal stories, tips, guides, and photography on this travelogue. This blog is so many things all at once: a love letter to my family, an ode to my lifelong devotion to food, a chronicle of a photography student’s journey, an intensely personal diary – and a total labor of love. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed crafting it!
Stick around to read about living abroad in Hong Kong, frequent travel, and the travails of an all-over-the-place millennial.
– Lily
