Most Hong Kong people travel to escape the stresses of daily life and unwind, but some opt for a more grueling and challenging form of travel, pushing themselves to the limit - what they call "The Walking Traveler".
Walking Tours refers to walking long distances along predetermined routes, which while not overly rugged or complex, can be an exhausting undertaking for urban dwellers accustomed to relying on transportation. Yet, a young Hong Kong woman named Boey Lau recently completed the daunting Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain, even going so far as to inscribe her late father's name on the certificate of completion.
More and more young Hong Kongers are venturing out to explore the world, and Boey is one such trailblazer. After her first solo trip to Bali in October 2022, she...
That Year, She Became a Wanderer of the Earth
“In a single, exhaustive day, I became a global nomad.” On September 11, 2022, a young woman commenced her worldwide adventure, sharing the beginning of her journey on Instagram from her first stop, London.
Gigi Chang succinctly describes herself online: “Capturing stories with my camera, I wander solo across the globe. My home is in Africa for now.” At 22, the Taiwanese photographer chose to embark on an extensive journey. Like Phileas Fogg, the protagonist from Around the World in Eighty Days, her adventure started in London, but hers was not spurred by a wager nor constrained by a deadline.

In the show, Do Do Cheng visited various planes in the German National Aviation Museum and gave a brief introduction to their features. Finally, she personally climbed aboard an Italian-made S-211 light attack fighter jet. Before boarding the jet, Do Do Cheng ...
For many young people in Hong Kong, being a travel YouTuber is a glamorous and adventurous dream job. However, nowadays travel YouTubers can be categorized into various types. Today, I would like to share one of my favorite YouTuber in recent years - Celine and Cynthia - 不只是旅行. These two Taiwanese girls focus on outdoor activities such as hiking and diving. While Cynthia loves mountains and hiking, Celine adores the sea and diving. Cynthia takes Celine on camping and hiking trips, and Celine takes Cynthia on water adventures like diving. Together, they explore the world and share their experiences with their viewers.
They share their definition of 'not just travel:
"Traveling has become a way of life for us, and we simply share what we love with everyone. Life has its ups and do...
“What drove you to travel to Mongolia?” asked the airport staff on the day of our departure.
“To ride horses! To ride camels! To eat mutton! To savor horse milk wine!” we, a group of six, enthusiastically replied. Envision ourselves galloping on white horses across the boundless grasslands under the shimmering stars... Well, it may sound a bit whimsical, but beyond that, Mongolia offers excellent value for travel (especially when compared to places like Tokyo, where spending seems endless), making it an alluring choice. With a mere four-hour flight away, many Hong Kongers opt for a “quick getaway” to Tokyo during extended weekends, yet only a handful consider a “flash visit” to Mongolia. However, for those seeking an extraordinary and distinct travel experience, Mongolia emer...
Recently, I ventured out of Asia for the first time and explored England and Europe. I was filled with excitement and the memories I made were truly unforgettable.On this occasion, I took on the challenge of a self-driving tour with my besties.

If anyone is dreaming of embarking on their first European self-driving tour, my story may provide some interesting insights!
