Strolling through life like 😎 and doing what I came here to do. I arrived in #hongkong last month with a few goals: forget negativity, keep persevering and deliver some projects. The travel life isn't always glamorous. You experience positive things, as well as negative things. When you're on the road, dealing with negative situations is tougher. But I try to remind myself that I have been through worse and that I'm learning important things that I can teach you all. . . . . #traveler #travelgram #travellife #nomad #hkig #honghonginsta #hongkong #hkgirl #causewaybayhk #causewaybay #hongkongexplore #discoverhongkong #thisishongkong #localhk #vipkidteacherswhotravel #glt #gltlove
Happy Valentine's Day from #HongKong! Where did/are you spending Valentine's Day? Valentine Day isn't big holiday in Hong Kong- we don't really see chocolate, candy hearts, roses, balloons and other v-day things here. In fact, I didn't realize Valentine's Day was coming up until a few days ago! . . . . . #happyvalentinesday #valentinesday2019 #tst #tsimshatsui #victoriaharbour #kowloon #hkig #ilovehk #hk #explorehongkong #discoverhongkong #solotravel
Happy Valentine's Day! I may not be in love with anyone, but I'm in love with a lot of things! Grateful to be able travel, meet cool people and try new things. This week, I treated myself to drinks and adventures in Hong Kong! How are you treating yourself this week. . . . . . #happyvalentinesday #selflove #solotravel #adventurer #inlovewiththeworld #lovetravel
Every Chinese new year's eve people line up outside The Wong Tai Sin temple and rush to main alter at midnight to offer insense to Wong Tai Sin, a Taoist deity. The earlier you do this during the year, the better luck you will have that year. This temple is known for answering people's prayers, and for the many fortune telling booths inside the temple. This was two days after Chinese new year. Probably the longest lineup I've ever seen. But it moved fast. A great place to visit if you're in Hong Kong. . . . . . #hongkong #discoverhongkong #hongkongexplore #wongtaisintemple #temple #wongtaisin #buddhism #taoism #confusionism #goodluck #wellwishes #hkig #hk #chinesenewyear #goodfortune #cny #cny2019 #cnyinhk #yearofthepig #discoverasia #travelgram #traveler #exploreasia #travelasia
Forget the cuddly pink pigs - this is the one the Chinese zodiac sign is named after! ... The Jade Emperor wanted to select 12 animals to be his guards. So he called a race. The first 12 to arrive to the Heavenly Gate would have the honor of guarding him, and having a year named after them. This pig arrived 12th. Today, he guards the Wong Tai Sin temple in Hong Kong. . . . . . #wongtaisin #temple #hongkong #yearofthepig #chinesezodiac #happychinesenewyear #chinesenewyear #hkig #vipkidteacherswhotravel #travelgram #wongtaisintemple #sheisnotlost #legends #chineselegends #cultural #chineseculture

Double happiness, double peace, double luck and double love to you all! ... The double happiness symbol behind me dates back to the Tang Dynasty and has a cute legend - a couple wed after they were able to complete a poetic couplet when they ran each other again. During the wedding ceremony, they wrote a "happy" symbol on two pieces of red paper to express their happiness with two events. So now, it's a Chinese tradition to have this symbol at weddings. . . . . #doublehappiness #happiness #happythoughts #selflove #peace #love #luck #prosperity #happychinesenewyear #happynewyearofthepig #yearofthepig #cny #cnyinhk #hkig #hongkong #hongkongexplore #discoverhongkong #discoverasia #wanchai #chinesenewyear
What have you accomplished lately? Think about it, then congratulate yourself for it. ... I took this picture at #avenueofthestars in #hongkong, Asia's 'Hollywood walk of fame.' It's a great place to catch the 'Symphony of Lights' show (post coming soon) while checking out handprints of and tributes to some of Asia's most prominent celebrities like Bruce Lee. . . . . #avenueofthestarshongkong #tst #hkig #tsimshatsui #exploreasia #explorehongkong #discoverhongkong #kowloon #victoriaharbour #skyline #cnyinhk #happychinesenewyear #symphonyofthelights
Happy new year of the pig! In Chinese culture, the pig represents wealth and prosperity. The pig is often seen as lazy, especially since it is the last of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. But many say that it's because the oug was just trying to encourage all the other animals in the race. For the pig, it was about the journey, not the destination. The pig likes to enjoy life and a fun sense of humor. 2019 is the year of the earth pig. Earth years mean practically, harmony and hard work. This year brings all that, plus a bit if fun. Enjoy the year of the pig! Were any of you born during a pig year? Do you know you Chinese zodiac sign? #cny #happychinesenewyear #yearofthepig #happynewyearofthepig #happychinesenewyear #hongkong #hkig #honghonginsta #wanchai #hk #explorehongkong #gungheifatchoy #hkgirl #discoverhongkong #wealth #prosperity #cny2019 #cnyinhk
