About Me

We are Edes(from HK) and Aurelio(from Italy), two random souls that once met and decided to (continue) explore the world together.
Before, Edes has studied in England and Beijing, worked in Macau and Japan. Her dream is to travel and work in many many different places.
Aurelio too grew up and studied and worked a bit here and there. Edes works as an English and Mandarin teacher , and Aurelio works as a neuroscientist in Japan.
