Hi, I’m Nick.

A digital nomad, a city drifter, a multi-hyphenate wanderer.
Sometimes I work alone, sometimes I walk all day without a plan.
Mostly, I observe, write, photograph, and connect dots.

I have a background in tech, media, and product.
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve led product and technology work at The New York Times and Financial Times, focusing on digital transformation and new media innovation.
Earlier in my career, I was part of the early internet wave in China, working at NetEase, Yahoo!, and Alibaba.

I also work with GILT strategies — helping global teams adapt their content, systems, and products for local markets.
And I enjoy using IT architecture, automation, and AI to support digital transformation, especially across borders.

Outside of work, I enjoy photography, hand-brewed coffee, and ultimate frisbee.
I love walking cities without maps, noticing things that don’t show up in travel guides.

Right now, I’m on a 183-day international nomad journey — exploring different cities around the world.
I’m paying attention to local life, housing, costs, coffee, Wi-Fi, and culture.
If you’re curious about city-based nomad living, this blog might be useful to you too.

Here I share fragments from the road:
city impressions, photo journals, quiet thoughts, and the occasional geeky detour.

If I pass through your city — and you’re someone with a story, a dream, or a love for where you live — let’s talk.
Tell me your story.
Show me your city.
Share your dream.
And if you don’t mind, let me write a little piece of your life into mine.


關於我

你好,我是 Nick。

一個數位遊牧者,一位斜槓旅人,一個城市漫遊者,也是一位獨自行走的觀察者。
有時獨處工作,有時隨意遊走,大多數時候,我在觀察、書寫、拍照,連接點與點之間的意義。

我擁有技術、媒體與產品管理背景。
過去十多年,我曾在《紐約時報》《金融時報》擔任中國區的產品/技術/新媒體負責人,專注於數位轉型與新媒體創新。
更早時期,我參與了中國互聯網的早期發展,工作經歷包括網易、雅虎與阿里巴巴。

我也曾參與多家企業的 GILT(全球化、國際化、本地化、翻譯)策略,協助內容與系統落地不同市場。
並長期關注如何透過 IT 架構、自動化與 AI,協助企業實現數位轉型與跨國成長。

工作之外,我喜歡攝影、手沖咖啡,也曾是中國最早一批極限飛盤玩家之一。
我喜歡不看地圖亂走城市,也特別留意那些不會出現在旅遊書裡的細節。

目前,我正在進行一個「183 天國際數字遊民計劃」,走訪不同城市,體驗當地的生活方式、文化、人情、市場價格、租房條件與上網便利性等等。
這個 Blog 會記錄我旅途中的見聞與觀察,也希望對那些關心城市旅居與遠端生活方式的人有所參考。

這裡,是我分享這些片段的地方:城市印象、簡單照片、生活想法,以及偶爾的技術與極客分享。

如果有一天我剛好到了你的城市,而你是一位有故事、有夢想、也熱愛這座城市的人,請讓我請你喝杯咖啡。
說說你的故事,講講你的城市,談談你的夢想,再讓我寫下你的某一段人生。
