"You are the eyes of tourists" one of my guests said to me. After visiting 40 countries around the world, I decided to become a tour guide of my home country - Taiwan. For past 20 years, I was eager to see the other part of the world. I tried my best to travel around. When traveling couldn't satisfied me, I spent a year in the UK in order to know more about local life and also received my Master degree. One day, I realized what I was looking for is not from outside, but it is actually inside my home country — Taiwan is no less beautiful but very unknown. I think it's time to tell you this hidden gem. Please come and travel with me! It makes big difference who you travel with. We can talk about Taiwan and/or exchange our travel stories! One Canadian lady (who is the owner of a chocolate and organic tea house in Kyoto, Japan) told me : you have very sensitive eyes! After I showed her a special photo I took in her wonderful tea house. A British friend once said to me: You are unique! Yes, I'm unique :-) I've been to many places, not only Europe and the US, but also Iran, Sri Lanka, Morocco, Myanmar, Lao. . . on my own or with a friend. Those experience made me see things in different way and that's why I can write travel articles (now I write articles about arts and culture) for the top 1 newspapers in Taiwan. The places listed in the tours might be similar to others, but I am the one who made it different! Please come and travel with me. You will love Taiwan as I do! PS. 1. I was majored in computer and trained/did coding for 10 years. I had been working for airline / national tourism board / travel agency, and now even as a tour guide, I am different from other tour guides who is just a tour guide ;) PS. 2. Tour guide is my main job. My 2nd job is tour leader. In summer, I often escort student group to study English overseas. Spend 3 to 4 weeks in England/London or Boston/New York. My 3rd job is writing articles (including taking photos) for the leading news paper in Taiwan. It's a full page articles printed on the newspaper (not a internet blog which anyone can write). If you are interested, I'm more than happy to show you the collections of my favorite clippings! PS. 3. Where have I been to?
