Who and Where is Amy Hang in ___?
Hi! My name is Amy Hang, and I am a solo female traveler who occasionally travels with my husband. I have gained the privilege of being a slow traveler and digital nomad, and will always try to get the best deals to stay on a minimal budget. I like to spend at least one (1) month in a place and try to experience life like the locals. Being Chinese-American, a third-culture kid, engaging with people around the world has been enlightening and eye-opening.
I call Philadelphia, PA, USA, home. Since 2022, Cape Town, South Africa, has been my home away from home with my South African-Indian husband.
