About
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, and thank you for stopping by. If you've found your way here, I hope you're curious to learn a bit more about the story behind this site.
My name is Shing Hui, Angel to most people, and I created this website in the winter of 2025 as a creative outlet for my love of travel, photography, and personal reflections. I realised my personal social media accounts weren't giving me the space or reach I wanted, especially for the meaningful conversations and touching stories I encountered on the road. So I built something more intentional, and that's how Glowing Space was born.
Somewhere in Iceland — the trip that started everything.
I didn't travel very far during my childhood, but I'm grateful that my family brought me to several ASEAN countries when I was young. Looking back at those old albums always fills me with warmth, and I think that's how photography quietly became one of my deepest passions.
During my university years in Tainan, Taiwan, I grew up in more ways than one. Then, to my surprise, I was offered an exchange placement in Kraków, Poland. That long journey to Eastern Europe truly changed my life. I kept my camera with me every single day.
In just six months at Jagiellonian University, I crossed into 17 countries. Each border felt like a page turning, each city a new chapter I hadn't expected to write.

In many ways, this site is my digital journal — a place to share the ups and downs, the detours and discoveries. I've been adding travel itinerary posts covering where I went, what I did, what I ate, and what surprised me. I hope some of it genuinely helps if you're planning a similar trip.
Feel free to explore — there are already plenty of destinations here, with more always on the way.
This site is currently in English only. If you need a Chinese version, your browser's built-in translation feature works reasonably well as a workaround. I'd love to add bilingual support down the road, it's something I'm actively thinking about, just a significant undertaking for a one-person project. Hopefully someday soon.
Almost every photograph on this site was taken by me personally. You're welcome to use them (just please credit me or link back to this site when you do). It's a small ask for something that took a lot of time and care to create. Unauthorised commercial use is not permitted.
Feel free to share your thoughts — I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
