EUROPE
BUDAPEST 2020
HUNGARY
Very lucky that we have chosen Budapest as our final destination of the Christmas trip. A city with great vibes and spectacular night views, well-established transport network. Breakfast price was very impressive as well!
​
Hallstatt 2019
Hungary
Our AirBnB host provided a much faster way to visit this stunning small town in less than an hour drive. We caught the last visitor bus as number of tourists will be largely reduced in 2020.
Salzburg 2019
Austria
A peaceful city, which is also the birthplace of one of the greatest composers in the world, Mozart. Being surrounded by Baroque architecture, a great variety of food and classical music, you will easily fall in love with this pretty city.
ÄŒeský Krumlov
2019
My first time to come C.K. town staying at the well-equipped Rose Hotel. It was freezing there and we saw snow on the second day.
Prague
2019
​
Finally, I was able to come to Europe again thanks to my kind supervisor! Kick starting my trip here on 25th Dec, I was lucky that the Christmas Market was not over yet!
Amsterdam 2017
The Netherlands
Amsterdam was the final stop before my return to Hong Kong. Reuniting with Liz and other SG buddies, we stayed at an apartment in Weesp for four days and at the same time walked through the city centre. Perfect ending for saying goodbye to my dearest Europe. Tak! See you again soon!
Germany 2017
I visited Munich, Nuremberg and Berlin (with my German friend Elena as my local tour guide!) for a total of seven days. A self-reflection journey and I have met a new companion Jean from Taiwan in Nuremberg as well, lucky me :D!

Switzerland
​
2017
My sister and brother-in-law were on the honeymoon trip during my exchange period. After visiting me in Denmark and having their own private time in Germany, I joined them (and acted as a third wheel) for the Swiss trip, in Luzern, Lauterbrunen and Zermatt. Thanks for the cheesy meals and warm treats xoxo.
NICE
France
2017
Located along the coastal area of the southern part of France, this city stands out owing to the provision of seductive seafront and sunshine, her elegance and simplicity, and the unique architecture of the Town. I would say that Nice is a place painted with lots of colours and with multicultural people. Just chill, be naked and sit on the beach! You can kill a lot of time by doing that!
Monaco
2017
Next to Nice, France, this small city is widely recognised as one of the most expensive and wealthiest cities / countries in the world. It actually reminded me of Macau and Hong Kong.
Rome
2017
Rome is so far the most ancient city that I have ever been. The unique historical remains did really catch my eyes, and all my college history class's memories came back all of a sudden. Three days were definitely not enough for us as there are copious amounts of place worth visiting!
Venice
2017
This water city has been capturing a lot of attentions from us contributing to her romance, history, culture and the style of the Renaissance. The stunning city is surrounded by a series of canals and waterways. Visits to small islands, like Burano Island, are also popular for colour-seekers like me!
Austria
​
Classical music's all around the capital city. Get your tickets ready if you are keen on watching musical concerts and opera performance! I was totally immersed into the romantic Baroque atmosphere when I was walking around the street.
Vienna 2017
Prague
2017
Many people wish to go to Prague once they have seen how beautiful Prague is. In fact, you will never be disappointed by Prague as the food and drinks here are very affordable, tourist attractions are extremely fairytale-styled, the joy and vibes here never gonna vanish. Yes, Prague is absolutely astonishing and it did surprise me. We got a lot of remarkable memories in here too.
Just a gentle reminder for the readers, please wake up earlier, or otherwise, you will have to spend a lot of time queuing and waiting!
London
The United Kingdom
2017
Welcome to our second home, the United Kingdom! Finally, we got to see a lot of familiar things (double decker buses, telephone cabins, double lines on road, the underground, HK food and bubble tea!) and very high-fashioned British all over the streets. Never gonna forgot the British accents and how good-looking people were in London!
​
Thanks for taking us for a tour and the roast duck, Shaun!
Paris
2017
THIS IS A GREAT PLACE OF YOUR DREAM.
Paris is a city that never gets you bored. The Eiffel Tower changes every moment and it would always be in your photo frame no matter where you are and when it is. With wine and cheese, romantic and beautiful French language, modern and famous fashion brand labels, the Eiffel Tower and other thrilling landmarks, you will find that this breathtaking city never sleeps at all. I wish I were Emily now!
LISBON 2017
Portugal
Lisbon is a capital city with a fantastic and comfortable weather, a great variety of delicious food and accesible tourists attractions. Though the tarts and buildings share some similarities with those in Macau, the ambience there is actually very unique and distinct which you could barely find in Europe.
Spain 2017
Everywhere in Spain is equipped with restaurants, shops, happy people, food and songs. When I was in Madrid and Barcelona, I remembered that there are a lot of plazas, historical buildings around the corner. Surprisingly, I saw even much more people holding pints of beers or wines and talking to passersby freely and comfortably on the streets. Just enjoy yourself in these passionate cities!
ICELAND 2017
I could never ever imagine of visiting Iceland, an elegant, distinctive, marvellous but dangerous country, during my exchange. Although I got no luck to watch the polar lights, just riding over the country packed with ice everywhere was already worth the price and time. Strongly advise you to have your international driving license ready, and save enough money for your stay there!
Belgium 2017
I couldn't count how much potato fries, chocolates, beers and mussels I had within four days of my visit to Belgium. It was also my first time getting drunk in a foreign country, which was definitely an once-in-a-lifetime experience (though very unsafe to do so actually). Estaba enamorada por un rato!
Malmö 2017
A little Swedish town located near Copenhagen of Denmark. The Kungsparken was unexpectedly breathtaking - it's quiet but at the same time giving you butterflies and making your heart pumping louder and harder.
STOCKHOLM
2017
The first country to begin my travel journey with after my arrival at Denmark. The fish soup, the cinnamon rolls, meatballs and the Swedish design left us beautiful memories. Though it was freezing cold, we got to see snow eventually.
2017
​
I chose DTU as my exchange institution as Denmark is renowned for its excellent and ambient surroundings and the high-quality law and order, making it a safe hub for exchange students to live, study and travel. Though they are already memories, they are still crystal clear on my mind.
Denmark
Moscow 2014
A sudden trip led by the local government
My college recommended me to be the HK teen rep. for overseas exchange in Nov 2013 and I got the offer in Jul 2014 just right before my Reg-day of HKUST. I was luckily to be guided by other uni students who "carried" me throughout this rushy and "No Worries" trip. It was an unforgettable experience, with lots of unanticipated incidents and cultural challenges.
