Hi there, I’m Andy, a 28-year old Hongkonger who loves nature, playing music, travelling, memes, and cats—their existence alone sparks joy. There are a lot of things I love about being a wildlife conservationist: my office is out in the sea, savannah, and rainforest; my coworkers include dolphins, snow leopards, elephants, and cheetahs; and I get to meet many passionate and inspiring friends and colleagues who are dedicated to saving the environment. I completed my graduate studies in the US, and I am now a conservation scientist in Washington, DC focusing on conservation technologies and climate change research. Being abroad has exposed me to many great new experiences personally and professionally, but Hong Kong is and will always be my home.

A story by Pabita Timilshina
If I had one wish, it would be for girls to be free, free to choose what they want to become, not to be dominated by men. Women to have their own voice without being ashamed of what society might think. Our place is not just in the kitchen or to have babies, we have our own lives. I wished for everyone to have the same rights.

Get involved
At Correspondents of the World, we want to contribute to a better understanding of one another in a world that seems to get smaller by the day - but somehow neglects to bring people closer together as well. We think that one of the most frequent reasons for misunderstanding and unnecessarily heated debates is that we don't really understand how each of us is affected differently by global issues.
Our aim is to change that with every personal story we share.
Community Worldwide
Correspondents of the World is not just this website, but also a great community of people from all over the world. While face-to-face meetings are difficult at the moment, our Facebook Community Group is THE place to be to meet other people invested in Correspondents of the World. We are currently running a series of online-tea talks to get to know each other better.
