I help curious travelers experience Taiwan more deeply —
from stylish stays and hidden gems to local eats and unforgettable adventures.

While Taiwan is my specialty, you’ll also find sprinkles of NYC and beyond, where I share insider guides, support small businesses, and promote eco-conscious ways to explore with intention.

Because travel isn’t just about where you go —
It’s about how deeply you experience it.

Welcome, friends.
I’m Melinda.
