I want to talk about the must-try foods in Hong Kong, mostly because food is one of the few things that I am thinking about nonstop, and Hong Kong (and Asian food in general) is usually full of glorious carbohydrates, which, if you know me by now, is my favorite food group. I low-key wish they'd bring back this carb-tastic Food Pyramid, instead of the decidedly fruit-and-vegetable …
25 Must-Try Foods in Hong Kong For the Ultimate Local Eating ExperienceRead More
Disclaimer: I am so comparatively ignorant about this subject in comparison to the absolute avalanche of information there is out there on the coronavirus. Please take this post for what it is: a well-intentioned but probably misinformed rambling from this rando living in Hong Kong. Also, I voted last week from abroad, which I'm excited about, but also depressed because the 2020 primaries look …
When I’m not traveling (which, contrary to what my Instagram says, is very, very, often), I like to be in bed. Although I am the proud owner of a white table from IKEA with one wobbly leg and the temporary inheritor of an itchy two-seater sofa, under which I’ve carefully laid the rug that looked the least like it came straight from a college grad’s first apartment, the habits that I’ve established …

In 2018, I flew out of Hong Kong for international trips 9 times.

The worst thing you can do if you're from Massachusetts is say you're from Boston if you're not. If you're friends with someone who is actually from Boston, they'll draw up a map for you. It's instinctual. It's like scratching when you have an itch. You just do it. You're not from Boston if you're from Springfield, OK? But I digress. In the travel world, where living like a local …

It's funny the way we willingly indict ourselves into having totally manufactured and packaged experiences. No, I hear you cry. I only look for travel experiences where locals are frozen in time and signs of civilization and technological progress are non-existent. Nary a mobile phone to be found. Off the beaten track, is what I say! And to that I say: that's all well and good, but there are …

There she was – the Godmother. Of Macanese cuisine, that is. Only, we didn’t know it. Hair dyed light brown and permed into a stylish pouf on her head, a pair of enormous glasses perched on her nose, and eyes roving over a Portuguese-language newspaper. Pearl jewelry hung from her neck. Laminated photos of Macau peppered the walls – all of them in varying shades of ochre and blue, …
