About Us

I’m Li Yang, and I’d choose a quiet village café over a crowded city center any day. Give me nature trails, rural landscapes, and peaceful mountain lakes; that’s where I recharge.

I’m an introvert who prefers experiencing places with my own eyes rather than through a camera lens. While Valerie explores markets and chats with locals, you’ll find me sitting in a corner café with my laptop, working on our blog or just watching the world go by.

I save my travel memories in my mind, not on a memory card.

I’m Valerie, and I travel for food: authentic, local, “where do the locals eat?” food.

I’m naturally introverted like Li Yang, but travel flips a switch. Suddenly I’m asking strangers for recommendations, organizing group activities, and making sure nobody gets left behind. I crave adventure: alpine toboggans, street food stalls, navigating foreign cities. And somehow I’m always the one planning our next meal.

Food and people energize me when we travel.
