Slow travel. Eat Local.

For the first time in several days, I am wheeling my own bag. Oh, how pedestrian. No porters or bellhops are in our midst. Well, at least not until we arrive at the Futian Shangri-La in Shenzhen. Actually I find it quite nice to sort of be on my own again. If you count on […]

Eating and traveling. Traveling and Eating. The more I travel, the more I learn about food, the more I love to eat. I love everything about it – the background on where it came from, the smells, the preparations, and of course the flavors rolling around in my mouth. It’s been an ongoing learning process […]

I’ve now had the good fortune of visiting Hong Kong two different times and experiencing it two very different ways. The first was during my ‘round the world’ trip as a ‘flashpacker’ of sorts. I was on a budget since I was traveling for a few years and not making much income. I recently returned […]

Hong Kong fascinates me as a city of old a new. Soaring skyscrapers sit adjacent to centuries’ old temples and medicine shops. This coastal city offers a full-on assault of sounds, sights and smells. A simple stroll down busy Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui is invigorating and ends with the spectacular and unrivaled view […]

So I wasn’t able to get business class as expected on my flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong on my first ever flight on world-renowned airline, Cathay Pacific. I got FIRST Class! Holy rice balls! Wow, the life of Richie-rich – I was whisked through security in about 2 minutes thanks to the ‘fast track’ […]

No, I’m not back in Hong Kong… not yet. But an article I wrote and my photographs were recently published on Smithsonian Online. Check it out, and don’t forget to click on the photo gallery to see my pics with captions! Snapshot: HongKong A forward-thinking city with ancient traditions By Lisa Lubin In a place […]

During my trip around the world I’ve now logged 115 flight hours (not even including the many hours getting to and from airports plus doing the wonderful ‘arrive two hours ahead of time for international flights’ game) and I feel my time flying the friendly skies has given me enough research to compile this list […]

With the proliferation of the internet and WiFi, I have found myself sending a lot less postcards then on former trips. But when you’re on a ‘round the world’ tour like me, you will inevitably have to send some packages home from various countries. I’ve been fortunate to have a few friends visit me while […]

Once again, my fabulous friends back home have hooked me up with some locals… or at least ‘temporary locals’ here in Hong Kong. Marc & Jenny moved here just 6 months ago to run Marc’s family’s toy company, Jaru. It was nice to be in a non-tourist setting even if it was in a big […]

After the high prices in Australia, where it was hard to find a sandwich under $10 (I’m not including McD’s, which is everywhere—like a bad infection), I love Hong Kong. Although, many said it was expensive, I’m finding it very affordable and for many things down right cheap! Hungry? Besides the ubiquitous Chinese eateries, there’s […]
