My Experience
Taiwan stole my heart with its incredible food scene, stunning natural beauty, and some of the kindest people I have ever met. This island nation packs an incredible amount of diversity into a small space.
The night markets were a revelation—not just for the food (bubble tea! beef noodle soup! stinky tofu for the brave!) but for the atmosphere. Taiwanese people know how to enjoy life, and it shows.
Beyond Taipei, the mountains and coastline took my breath away. Taiwan showed me that sometimes the best destinations are the ones you almost overlooked.
