Hi, I'm SIA! I love traveling and photography, although I'm not good at it.

Learning the cultures and natural landscapes around the world was a dream that sprouted in my early childhood. The dream was inspired by a Japanese light novel series -- Kino's Journey (キノの旅, 奇诺之旅).

Living in the US for the past 7 years, I've been able to visit the Seven Continents. I feel fortunate that I am the one who can work and sleep on the flights, thus traveling did not make my Ph.D. life busier.

The majority of my work is doing research now. I'll move to Vancouver soon and start my career as an Assitant Professor. I hope to be a researcher being able to work everywhere.

I'd love to use my 'antique' Sony a6000 or iPhone to record my trips and leave my memories here. The website is still under construction.

The next destination on my wish list is West Africa. Like doing research, curiosity is what drives me.
