The second postcard is from Tommy Walker – a freelance travel writer, correspondent, journalist and videographer.

In this postcard he talks about life in his current home of Hong Kong, transitioning from the frantic paced frontline reporting of the 2019 protests…to a life under restriction. Tommy is currently covering more personal features related to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Meet Enrico. He lives in Veneto, Italy, with his family and juggles life working from home as a Hospitality Lecturer. As Italy found itself in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis early on, I knew he would have a story to tell. He combines his tender devotion to his family with the context we are living through.
