S2 Ep44: No, Where Are You REALLY From?

For most of us, “where we are from” in the geographical sense, is a big part of our identity. ⁠So how does a relationship to homeland impact “travel”?



Travel Blogger, Lily Wunders, joins us in this episode to tackle this complex theme of identity and belonging as an American Born Chinese (ABC) woman living in Hong Kong. She shares what it feels like to travel to a place that feels both familiar and foreign at the same time, and to try to reclaim a language that you’ve lost.⁠



Guest: Lily Wunders, Travel Blogger and writer at www.lilywunders.com



"This blog is so many things all at once: a love letter to my family, an ode to my lifelong devotion to food, a chronicle of a photography student’s journey, an intensely personal diary – and a total labor of love.



I write about Asian diasporic identity, living in Hong Kong, and about my adventures while traipsing around the world. Stick around – you won’t regret it!"
