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!
I write about Asian diasporic identity, living in Hong Kong, and about my adventures while traipsing around the world. Stick around – you won’t regret it!
