Welcome to my personal website & photography travelogue. 

My name is Aily Zhang: American, third culture kid, political junkie, avocado enthusiast, and incurable optimist. 

Outside of my professional pursuits, I love hiking and backpacking, learning foreign languages, and honing my skills as an amateur travel photographer.
