The Lost Traveler

This week's blog, The Lost Traveler, is the creation of Colin Desko, a student of Hobart and William Smith Colleges. The Lost Traveler documents Colin's time abroad in Hong Kong throughout an academic semester, and each of his experiences there. This is Colin's second time studying abroad in Hong Kong at Lingnan University,  and it is his goal with this blog to show people "everything that I am experiencing, but also give them tips of places to see and food to try, if they were to travel to Hong Kong."

Why We Love It

Colin isn't kidding about sharing his numerous travel tips on The Lost Traveler. Upon entering the blog, you'll find everything from restaurant and pub reviews, to cultural events and sights to see across a variety of locations. Each post addresses unique questions and showcases the ever changing and developing city that is Hong Kong. Whether you're a traveler who is interested in studying abroad in Hong Kong, or simply wish to visit and see the sights, the resources available on The Lost Traveler should be added to your "must-read" list!

Colin's insights are witty and meaningful for study abroad students everywhere, celebrating the  differences in cultures other than your own. Add in the great number of travel photographs on the blog, and The Lost Traveler becomes even more valuable of a meaningful travel resource.
