Melissa Hie, a 29-year-old Singaporean girl who often travels alone, began sharing a series of“food selfies”online in the summer of 2013. Holding the most representative local foods, she takes travel photos at the most famous places, including Mount Fuji, Big Ben, and London Bridge. It’s very interesting and has garnered a lot of attention.

What inspired this creative framing? Melissa Hie said:“Because I usually travel alone, but I don’t like to bother strangers to take photos for me, and I also don’t like taking selfies. Since I love taking photos of food, this series of photos was born.” Most of the time, Melissa Hie still takes regular scenic photos, butshe emphasizesthat traveling should involve finding your own unique way to leave a mark, making life a bit more fun.。
