About Me

Mahalo for visiting Always On The Way!

Aloha! My name is Julie Cao. Mahalo for visiting my blog,

I am a Chinese born and a London-based (London in Ontario, Canada) travel blogger. I have spent my first 20 years in China and moved to North America in 2006. Since then, I have spent the majority of my life here, and share my stories, tips, and experiences on my travel blog Always On The Way.

For the past ten years, I have traveled extensively throughout North and Latin America, while living in the USA and Canada. As an expat, I wanted to share my guides and stories not just from a traveler’s perspective, but through a local’s lens. After all, there is no better way to get to know a country than by actually living there.

Apart from my passion for traveling and writing, my interests include medieval history and antiquity, linguistics, and books. Occasionally, I write about restaurants and food too.

While running this blog, I work full-time in social service and freelance as a Facebook VA. Also, I eat lots of spicy food and chocolate and prefer a cold wintry climate to the summer heat.

While I am not working, you can probably find me exploring exotic lands, taking long walks, studying Latin, and sticking my nose in a book in a park.
