Seeing all the Anti-Asian racism incidents and violence, I’ve been thinking about what to say. I’m proud that Runaway Juno was one of the first professional Asian travel blogs and I made lots of …

You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” That’s one of the reasons …

My fascination with glaciers continues I’ve always been fascinated by glaciers. From the moment I stepped onto the first glacier I’ve ever seen, Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, I knew we had a special bond. Subconsciously, maybe that’s one of the reasons why I was so drawn to Alaska. We are surrounded by glaciers …
At the end of 2020 we said, “What a year!”. And January 2021 came. It’s almost February, and I want to say, “What a month!”. January 2021 truly felt like a whole year.
