I met the surgeon. The one who will hopefully insert a computer chip into my head. Sounds weird, but that’s… Read more The First Meeting

Hong Kong is one of those cities that makes you feel small, and also makes you realize how small your problems are. Have you ever visited any cities that make you feel like that? .. Facts: Hong Kong has had a housing shortage that has raged on for decades. The fact that it has the largest wealth gap in Asia makes things even more difficult for a good part of the population. . . . . . #hongkong #hongkongisland #quarrybay #concretejungle #hkig #smallapartments #architecturephotography #hongkongexplore #hk

The real concrete jungle - can you handle it? Hong Kong is a physical jungle as well as a psychological maze. . When you're standing amongst these cramped public mansions (yes, mansions) from the 1960s, reality hits and you can really see why Hong Kong is named one of the most densely populated cities in the world. You feel small, but at the same time you can't help but wonder just how small each of these apartments really are. . Do you recognize this building? Locals call it 'The Monster Building." It was built during the 1960s population boom to offer government-subsidized housing for low-income residents. It rise to fame after being featured in films Ghost in the Shell and Transformers. . . . . #monsterbuilding #yickcheongbuilding #montanemansion #hongkong #hkig #discoverhk #hongkongexplore #explorehk #filmset #hongkongisland #quarrybay #transformers #travelgram #instafamous

"You create your own calm." You can't tell from this picture, but it was a rainy day on Lamma Island, about a 30 minute ferry ride from Hong Kong. The weather made it less-than-ideal to hike - right after this picture was taken, it poured hard and most hikers were just miserable. As many people ran to find shelter or to head back to the ferry, I stopped, enjoyed the views and took some pics (phone in one hand, umbrella in the other) struggling, but appreciative of the fact that I had made it this far. Don't follow the crowd, literally. Stop to enjoy views in a storm, and create your own calm, inner peace, and memories. . . . . . #hongkongexplore #discoverhongkong #discoverasia #lammaisland #lammaislandhk #hkig #honghonginsta #hongkong #islandviews #honhkonghiking #hkhiking #innerpeace #travelgram #traveler #motivation #motivational #positivevibes

I think the Earth knew Earth day was coming up! This past weekend, it went crazy and showed off everything it has to offer. It showed us it's sunny side, wept a torrential rainstorm, sweated out humidity, huffed some wind, hid under clouds, shot out lightning bolts and roared some thunderous laughs. 🌍🌎🌏 Happy Earth Day from Lamma Island! This island is a true gem only a 30 minute ferry ride from Hong Kong Island. If you're in Hong Kong, head there to visit the beach and markets, and to catch some awesome views from the hiking trails - great to escape the crowds for a bit! . . . . . #happyearthday #earthday #hongkong #lammaisland #hkig #lammaislandhk #discoverhongkong #discoverasia #nomad #hiking #hkhiking #hkhikingtrail #hongkongexplore #daytrip

I didn't have any chocolate this Easter weekend, but I did have a lot of #hongkong style snacks! Here's a $30 HKD vat of traditional rice rolls, curried fish balls, and fish dumplings from the pier, right before boarding the ferry to somewhere cool...pics coming soon! . . . . . #foodporn #foodstagram #foodie #hkig #discoverhongkong #hongkongfood #streetfood #hkstreetfood #hongkongcentral #centralhongkong #explorehongkong #hongkongexplore #hkfood #hkfoodie #hkfoodpic #hkfoodstagram

I'm totally fried, but just had to pop out to say Happy Easter! Have an egg-cellent one! . . . . . #happyeaster #easter #eggcellent #eggcellence #theonehk #theonehongkong #eggxhibition #honghong #hkig #breakfasttime #sunnysideup #funshots #funpics #beakidagain #innerchild #creativebreak #creativelife #eastersunday #sundayfunday #weekendvibes #longweekend

#throwback to my first solo trip a few years ago. As a birthday present to myself, I headed to Europe to visit some new and familiar sights. My last stop was in Paris, where I simply took a few days to myself to recharge and reflect. I loved walking near #notredamedeparis and admiring its surroundings - heartbroken that future travelers to #paris won't get to experience it. . . . . . #notredame #france #tbt #tb #throwbackthursday #solotravel #solotraveler #europe #traveler #travelgram #lovelocks #pontdesarts
