We’re Dom and Emma! For over a decade, we’ve been traveling the world together, turning our love for adventure into a way of life. We started out backpacking through Southeast Asia, but in 2016, vanlife became our thing—partly so we could bring our pug, Percy, along for the journey.
Since then, we’ve lived out of everything from a tiny kei car camper during three months of vanlife in Japan to larger vans exploring Europe, with highlights in the Alps, Dolomites, and Germany. We’ve also spent years living in Thailand, working as teachers and digital nomads in Chiang Mai and Phayao, soaking up the culture and making it our second home.
Embark on a culinary adventure through Hangzhou's vibrant Wulin night market! Join Dom and Emma as they dive into the heart of China's street food scene, sampling delicious local delicacies. This journey captures the essence of exploration and the joy of discovering new flavors. Experience the bustling atmosphere and tantalizing tastes that make Chinese street food an unforgettable part of any travel adventure.

This video captures the final day of Always Away's trip in China, beginning with an exploration of Hangzhou's renowned West Lake. The journey included a serene boat ride, offering picturesque views and a chance to witness a beautiful sunset over the mountains. Despite a crowded experience on the pleasure boat where they had to stand, the travelers found it a nice, albeit basic, experience. They also encountered a dragon boat and a phoenix boat, marveling at their traditional designs. The West Lake, a UNESCO heritage site, is highlighted for its historical and artistic significance, with free fans featuring poems about the lake being distributed to visitors.
Following their lakeside excursion, Always Away ventured into the bustling Wulin Night Market, described as the Oxford Street of Hangzhou, known for its shopping and vibrant street food scene. Here, they sampled an intriguing "egg burger," a savory pastry filled with pork and egg, which they found surprisingly delicious and wished was available everywhere. The market also offered a delightful culinary adventure with a vast array of dumplings. At a restaurant named "Our Home Dumpling," they ordered a "mystery box" of 30 dumplings with various fillings, adding an element of surprise to their meal. They noted how some dumplings could be identified by their color, hinting at different ingredients like vegetarian options, pork, celery, and pak choi.
During their market exploration, the travelers also found themselves a bit lost amidst the numerous shops, a common experience even for locals. They also tried a unique Chinese bread, described as a "Chinese mini pizza," with fillings like spring onion, chives, or meat, noting its delicious flavor. The video also includes a recommendation for TripO tours, highlighting their stress-free approach to exploring China with friendly, English-speaking local guides and offering a discount code for viewers.
Join Always Away on their final day in China as they explore the iconic West Lake in Hangzhou, experiencing a scenic boat ride at sunset and discovering the charm of traditional dragon and phoenix boats.
