Who and Where is Amy Hang in ___?
My name is Amy Hang, and I have gained the privilege of being a slow traveler. I am a solo female traveler, occasionally traveling with my husband, and will always try to get the best deals to stay on a budget! I like to spend at least one (1) month in a place and try to experience life like the locals. It has only been about 1 year since I’ve been able to live this slow travel life. Before, like many hardworking Americans, I could only afford a one-week vacation with the time off given from my job.
I am based in Philadelphia, PA, USA, and Cape Town, South Africa. I call both of these cities my home.
This blog is a free resource for you to learn about my experiences and get some tried and tested travel tips, tricks, hacks, and stories!
Sincerely,
Amy♡
