An East Asia enthusiast with a knack for research. A lover of food, culture and exploration.
My Travel Style
I like to travel off-the-beaten-path. Rather than join a tour group, I'm one to befriend a local to learn about all the hotspots in town.

A Culture-Lover's Guide to Taipei
When my husband first took me to his home in Taipei, it immediately became my home away from home. Taiwan has been inhabited by several different countries throughout history, which gives them a uniquely eclectic culture all their own. Nowhere is this as evident as it is in Taipei, where you can find evidence of Portuguese, British, Japanese, Chinese, and Indigenous habitation throughout the city. The city’s rapid development following World War II and the modernization that more recently began to spring up creates a unique cityscape of old and new.
