For as long as he can remember, he has been a frequent flyer, his life chapters penned across airport lounges and city maps. It all began with an enlightening study abroad experience in Paris, the city of lights, where the blend of culture, art, and history ignited his passion for global exploration. But the journey didn't end in Europe. After graduating college, he packed his bags for Shanghai, a city that epitomizes the rapid pulse and dynamic spirit of Asia.

Now based in Shanghai, he serves as The Points Guy's (TPG) primary correspondent for all things travel in the Asia-Pacific region.

His travel appetite is insatiable, driven by a curiosity that's as broad as it is deep. Ask him about his next travel destination, and he'll channel Anthony Bourdain: "Anytime I'm eating spicy noodles in a bowl, I'm happy."

Whether he’s navigating the vibrant night markets of Taipei, exploring the serene landscapes of rural Japan, or planning his next adventure, his life is a testament to the rich, transformative power of travel. Each trip is a new chapter, each destination a new lesson, and through his stories, we all get to travel along.
