On the weekend, you can usually find me… Patting dogs and taking photos along one of the many promenades that enclose Victoria Harbour.

My favourite spot in Hong Kong is… Cheung Chau – specifically, Kwun Yam Wan Beach. Its clear waters and soft sands remind me of New Zealand in the summer.

I’ve always wanted to travel to… Antarctica. Aside from all the exciting climate science taking place down there, I love snow and I love penguins. It’s my ideal holiday spot.
