Interests
I love traveling and I try to take a trip every season. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not possible for me to travel to other countries easily. But it did not stop me from exploring my beautiful home - Hong Kong. I like driving around the city as I believe that exploring new areas would always surprise me.
Traveling allows me to adapt to new situations and use my detail-oriented skills to ensure I have the best enjoyment, even with so many restrictions during the pandemic. But there are always solutions to go with a problem, nothing is impossible for me. Enjoying coffee in a cafe hides in an alley, appreciating every detail in an art piece, watching the sunset by the beach, and make new friends in some local communities. These are not the ordinary traveling itinerary but this is the quality of life. And this is how I embrace change to adapt the life in the new-normal era.
