Introduction

Noran refers to 「諾」(Promise) and「然」(A state of leisure).

Hi all! I'm Nicole, a slasher
(who takes on multiple careers) based in London. Some people know me as a machine learning product manager at Expedia Group, some as a designer, some as a digital artist, and some as a travel blogger.

I love to call myself as a culture explorer as this is where I find the common sweet spot in my careers. I love to explore different cultures and dive into their art, architecture, history, and people. In my spare time, I love to visit somewhere away from the city, take photographs of the nature, read non-fiction books, and play musical instruments. To me:

Travelling is about self-exploration, reflection, and making memories.

I moved to the UK from Hong Kong in 2018. I started writing a travel blog because I wanted to record my first trip from the UK to Spain. Apart from documenting, it was also a way to share my experience with my family and connect with them in writing.

I hope that by sharing my life experience, I can bring you some relaxing moments. If you have any enquiry about studying, travelling, work, design, or business cooperation, please feel free to contact me!

If you like my articles, please sponsor me a cup of coffee and encourage me to create more content!

Travel Footprint

In the past few years, I have visited 4 continents, 29 countries, and 112 cities. I learnt about the different cultures of each place. The first three places on my wish list are Greenland, Iceland, and Greece.
