I love to travel, and I try to experience what the locals experience everyday. I love to try new things, new places, new thrills, and new experiences.
Hong Kong is one of my favorite places. You can do a lot of things in this small city. From being a foodie, to a shopaholic, to bar hopping, and even an enlightening trip. Hong Kong has it all. It is also a relatively safe place.
