About Me

Hi there, and welcome! I’m BigC, an Asian expat currently living in the UK, where I’m building a life filled with discovery, challenges, and moments of joy. This blog is my personal space to reflect on those experiences, share stories, and offer insights into the unique blend of cultures that shape my daily life.

Moving to the UK was a bold step—one that came with excitement but also a fair share of hurdles. From adapting to a new climate (both the literal weather and social atmosphere!) to learning the quirks of British culture, every day has been a learning experience. I’ve come to embrace everything from Sunday roasts and afternoon tea to the subtle art of British humor. But what makes this journey truly special is how it intersects with my Asian identity.

Here, I write about the intersections of these two worlds. You’ll find posts about homesickness and how I stay connected to my roots, my quest to find authentic Asian food in local markets, and the comfort of cooking family recipes passed down through generations. I also explore cultural differences, celebrate festivals from both sides, and talk about the beauty of finding community in a new place.

Beyond cultural reflections, this blog is also about life’s little joys. I love traveling and discovering hidden gems across the UK—from quaint countryside villages to bustling city neighborhoods. I enjoy documenting my travels, offering tips for others navigating similar journeys, and showcasing the beauty of blending different perspectives.

But life isn’t just about exploration; it’s also about the simple things. Here, you’ll find lifestyle tips, wellness advice, and thoughts on personal growth as I navigate my way through a constantly evolving sense of identity.

I started this blog to connect with others who might be walking similar paths—whether you’re an expat, someone curious about different cultures, or just looking for a fresh perspective. My hope is that through sharing my journey, I can inspire conversations, foster understanding, and perhaps offer a bit of comfort to those who feel caught between two worlds.

So, grab a cup of tea, cozy up, and join me on this adventure. Whether you’re here for travel tips, cultural insights, or a dose of relatable storytelling, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s explore life, one story at a time.
