Hello! My name is Lillian Jiang and I’m a travel blogger based out of New Jersey/NYC and the Bay Area. I mainly post travel content from New Jersey/NYC and Bay Area, but I also post content from places all over the world such as Iceland, Bermuda, Italy, and Spain!
My goal with my travel blog is to capture unique shots of places. I want my photos to make someone stop and appreciate a location. Even if it’s an everyday commute, you can always capture and find something new. I want to show people that for any location, there are multiple perspectives to appreciate and view it.

Echoing that sentiment, I love exploring new subjects and perspectives through my studies as a computer science and data science student at UC Berkeley. Since data science and computer science are such broad fields with endless possibilities, I love learning about new topics to see how data science can be applied to solve problems. So far, I’ve explored new topics such as astronomy, sustainable architecture, business, education, and can’t wait to learn more!
In addition to balancing my own travel aspirations with my college workload, I also hope to inspire other college students to explore the world. I believe that travel can be a transformative experience and that it is possible to find ways to make it work within the constraints of student life. Whether it’s studying abroad, taking advantage of school breaks, or simply planning weekend getaways, there are opportunities to see new places and gain new perspectives. I hope that by sharing my own experiences and tips, I can encourage other college students to prioritize travel and make it a meaningful part of their education and personal growth.
