Mini bio
How it started.
Christina grew up in Vancouver with Chinese immigrant parents and once planned to become a lawyer. A six-week European backpacking trip in summer 2014 changed her direction. She started a travel blog later that year, discovering that curiosity could shape a career as well as a holiday.
Finding her way.
That early blog helped her land a summer role as a photographer, blogger and videographer for a European river cruise company. A study exchange then took her to Munich, where she eventually spent more than five years. After finishing school in December 2016, she began blogging full time.
What fans come for.

Her guides range from European rail passes and Christmas markets to mapped city itineraries. Her work page also documents tourism campaigns for Malta and Bucharest, alongside a personal Fairmont Lake Louise collaboration that fulfilled a childhood promise to her parents.
