I’m Wong, the curious mind behind wongtalk.com. If you’re someone who loves diving into the stories of the past, getting lost in different cultures, and finding meaning in every journey, then you’ve come to the right place.
The Journey Begins
My travel adventures started with a backpacking trip through China right after graduation. I spent six weeks wandering through ancient ruins in Southwest of China, getting lost in the ancient streets of Chengdu, and sipping tea in Yangtze River. That trip changed everything—it showed me that history isn’t just something in textbooks; it’s alive in the places we visit and the people we meet.
