Hello! Welcome to The SkyGirl—the blog dedicated to my skywatching and travel trails. As an intrepid traveller and an amateur photographer, I am forever on the lookout for great stories to share. At other times, I’m keen to get behind the lens and find that perfect angle that can best capture a moment. Travelling, to me, is a literal and creative journey, as each new place evokes new feelings, that ultimately shapes my perspective and teaches me something new. A lifelong learner, a student for life—that’s me!
