Join me on my adventure as I travel to a land once known as “Formosa”. It still exists today, though it’s known by a different name: Taiwan.
When I began entertaining thoughts of living and working in Taiwan, I looked online for recent information on the local culture and came up blank. I checked out Craigslist Taiwan (yes, there really is such a thing) and several expat sites. I scoured travel blogs and online travel magazines and found a nugget or two here and there. Whatever the reason for this dearth of information (perhaps those living in Taiwan want to keep their lovely island home a secret?), it has prompted me to create this blog.
Hang on, as I prepare to have my life turned upside down – and dare to share the ensuing wild ride with you.
I have a million questions.
If you have answers, or just want to relate any Taiwan travel stories, tips, tricks, or “gotchas” about living in Taiwan, or heck, even a restaurant recommendation – don’t hesitate to holler! At the fuzzy front end of this voyage of discovery, I’ll take any and all information (related to Taiwan) you’re willing to pass along.

Hi, best of luck to you! Will you be adding photos of your trip?

Thanks, yeah – as long as I don’t “forget” to pack my camera. (More on that in a later entry!)
