Exploring Ice Caves in Iceland in Vik, Iceland

by Selina Hiu Ting LAM

One of the activities on my bucket list – Ice Cave Tour & Glacier Hike. Hike out across Mýrdalsjökull glacier, the natural blue ice cave sits in a glacier underneath a volcano making the ground black all round. Inside this ice-dome, you would feel you are in an epic movie scene from Stars Wars and Game of Thrones.

Like a Rotterdamer in Rotterdam, The Netherlands

by Madiya ZHOLDANOVA

The photo was taken on the Luchtsingel Bridge, where a bunch of creative photos have been taken before. I saw them on Instagram even having no idea that it is in Rotterdam, where I applied for my exchange. So such a photo was definitely on my bucket list :)

Stunning Medieval Neighbourhood Views on the Patkuli Viewing Platform in Tallinn, Estonia

by Selina Hiu Ting LAM

Good things take time. After a short walk to Kohtuotsa, looking down the magnificent and historical view over old town of Tallinn, the Baltic Sea and the harbor. “Wow!” It was breathtaking and reminded me of a fairytale, like something out of a Disney movie!

Pure Happiness in Accra, Ghana

by William Wai Lam LUN

My time in Ghana had taught me that the purest form of happiness was rooted in simplicity. We live in an affluent Hong Kong, and perhaps sometimes we all forget to live simpler and happier.

Beyond Colours in Accra, Ghana

by William Wai Lam LUN

I was visiting a local school in Ghana where I had engaged in a campus renewal project. My time in Ghana taught me that humanity transcended different economic and racial backgrounds – after all, we are all humans.

Unexpected Encounter in Oslo, Norway

by Agnes Man Yuk YEUNG

We were ready to take a group photo after a tour as it’s one of the last group events held. A kid wandered around showing curiosity towards us for around 5 minutes and finally, we could not take a photo without him. The kid was included in our photo and it became one of the best photos throughout the Exchange experience. The unexpected encounter also reminded me of how we all miraculously met in a city and become lifelong friends.

Matterhorn & Its Lake Reflection in Zermatt, Switzerland

by Doris Shu Wai WONG

Zermatt is a fairy-tale city. The weather was absolutely great and I eventually saw the peak and whole mountain of the Matterhorn during my third visit.
