Yeung, Gerald

 GERALD YEUNG is the youngest Proverse author. In summer 2006 he made a back-packing journey with four of his best friends, Justin, Louis, Brian and Pierre and wrote a journal about his travels, which brings out the lighter side of Latin America in the tone of a spoiled teenager. His first book for Proverse, Wannabe Backpackers: the Latin American & Kenyan Journey of Five Spoiled Teenagers was published on 11 March 2009 to coincide with the Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival.
