ABOUT ME

Jia:
I grew up in Malaysia - mainly in Penang and KL, and have lived in London for 7 years, and Hong Kong for 1.5 years. I enjoy travelling and generally have been mixing this with visiting old friends and family around the world! I love outdoors and had been active in scouts, camping, etc... I am interested in socio-economic issues, cultures around the world, and enjoy such conversations! Easy-going, but have a fairly busy job! Feel free to drop a line!

Since 2012, I have been travelling around the world. My fiance, Wen, joined me since 2013 and we will continue to travel until end of the year 2013.

Wen:
I was born and raised in Malaysia. Went to Australia to further my studies and worked there as a Primary school teacher. After 6 years in Melbourne, I left for Japan and worked there for a year. I last lived in Hong Kong for 4 years after Japan. Now, full time traveller!
