CURRENT MISSION

See the world, one step at a time

ABOUT ME

I like to eat and look at pretty things.

I was born and raised in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, where the pace of life is slow and calm. I went to Singapore for university and stayed there for another three years to work as a business tech journalist.

I am now taking a career break to travel the world.

I have a travel blog [yqtravelling.com] where I share my journeys and money-saving tips. If you have any budget travel tips for where you are staying, please share them with me!
