My cousin and I left Hong Kong a few hours ago and I am writing this post on our plane to Helsinki from where we will be flying back to Germany. Although I absolutely love traveling and exploring new places, the actual act of getting from A to B is usually ti...

When my mother booked my flight to Hong Kong, the extradition bill had not even been put forward and there was no reason to believe that I would end up in Hong Kong while some of its biggest protests would take place. By the time I boarded my flight, the cont...

I was initially planning to publish a blog post about a book I read, but publishing this post now simply did not feel right. My cousin and I travelled to Hong Kong together last week and we are planning to spend a few weeks here as a summer vacation. As many...

When I got my offer for a place at Li Po Chun United World College in Hong Kong at age 16, I was thrilled and absolutely sure that I wanted to accept the offer. As many of you guys know, I did in fact accept the offer and flew off to Hong Kong in September 20...

Over the past few days, I explored Edinburgh with a friend of mine. We decided to leave Cambridge for a few days before starting our revision for our final exams. It was definitely good for us to leave our College for a while because whenever you are in Coll...

Today is the first day of a new year and I went through my photo library this morning to reflect on 2018. Since I am almost never further than a few metres away from one of my cameras, my photo library is like my diary. If I ever want to find out where I was o...

I got back from Paris last week and I went through all the pictures I took while in Paris over this weekend. Paris is my favourite city and I always discover something new about the city whenever I am there. I went to Paris with my two aunts and we went on a...

Hello everyone!

Two weeks ago, I visited Yale-NUS in Singapore. The college invites all their admitted students for a weekend to Singapore to get to know each other and see the college. Many of the people who I met during NYU Abu Dhabi's candidate weekend were there and...

I returned to Hong Kong on Monday morning after a short trip to Abu Dhabi. I was originally planning to fully participate in my theatre project about the LGBTQIA+ community in Hong Kong but NYU Abu Dhabi invited me to join them for their candidate weekend in...

This Wednesday, all LPCUWC students left campus to enjoy their block activities. My block went to the Tai Mai Tuk reservoir in Hong Kong where we went cycling. We had bicycles for three and four people and it was a lot of fun to ride them. My roommates and I...

The past week has been quite eventful and I cannot wait to share all of it with you guys! Since our grades have already been handed in by our teachers, the last week was the first one in a while in which I did not have a test or quiz. It was great to have a l...

Whenever I'm travelling, I take my travel bag with me. I chose my travel bag because it is huge and can fit all my stuff. For some reason, I always end up taking a lot of stuff with me in my hand luggage. I guess you could describe my packing philosophy like...

My school hosted its 25th Anniversary Celebration today. It was quite exciting for all of us because it was one of the rare times that our school opened our campus up. Hundreds of guests came to join the celebration. All of the students were involved in the p...

This morning, I packed my backpack and left campus with everyone else from my residence. After a one hour bus drive, we arrived at one of the entrances to the dragon's back hiking trail. We hiked more than 2 hours on the route and then arrived at a beach whe...

When you are reading this, I will be sitting on my plane back to Hong Kong. I am writing these lines while sitting at the airport in San Francisco and it is hard to believe that it has already been eight weeks since I arrived here. I said goodbye to my lovely...
