Description
Hiya! I’m Ally from Hong Kong, an illustrator, storyteller, and creative soul currently on a long term journey exploring the world, one meaningful connection at a time. After walking the Camino de Santiago across Spain and Portugal, I’ve now landed in Australia for a one year Working Holiday.
Back home and in London, I worked as a costume maker and dresser for theatre productions. Over the years, I’ve also developed my art practice into something deeply personal, like creating illustrations, tattoos, and handmade pieces inspired by people’s stories, inner journeys, and the beauty of everyday life.
I love being in nature, sketching scenes from my travels, and exchanging cultures through food, language, and creativity. As a Workawayer, I’m respectful, independent, tidy, and always open to learning new skills: whether it’s gardening, animal care, language practice, or helping around the house!
I’m here not just to visit, but to connect and give back. I’d be grateful for the chance to share time and stories with you. Looking forward to meeting you :)
