Profile
I'm from Hong Kong, born and raised, if you have any question about my city, feel free to ask :)

I love travelling. I enjoy solo travelling, family trip, travelling with friends, and of course, romantic getaway, I'm single now tho, LOL :D

When I do solo travel, I always do budget travel, since no one will share the hotel room cost and taxi fare, I prefer to stay in a hostel and take subway or bus, go sight-seeing, museums or just walk around.

When it comes to ski trip or amusement park visit, it's more fun to travel with friends, and night time is drinking time, sometimes will end up crazy :P

I will choose to join an all-included tour when travel with family. The best thing is the tour company will arrange the transportation, I don't want my parents walking up and down to take the subway or waiting for a bus or a cab on the street. Also, the accommodations chosen by the tour company are always comfortable.

Beach, resort and cruise are my ideal ways for a romantic getaway, trip to Greek with love one sounds great, hope will make it some day :P

I used to upload my travel pics to my MSN page, if you are interested, check this out:

Odd as it sounds, best food in Thailand so far has been on Phangan island. Nothing has come close to matching that stuff.
