Hi, I'm Melinda 👋🏼
Miami born, California raised, Brooklyn living — and Taiwanese at heart. I'm an animal lover, an eco-conscious traveler, and yes, my socks are probably cuter than yours right now.
I've been in love with Taiwan for as long as I can remember. I lived there for two years, have family & friends rooted there, and visit at least once a year to reconnect with my family and culture.
EVERLASTYING started as my love letter to Taiwan — and as I continue exploring the world, I'll be bringing you along to every destination that captures my heart too. ♥️
Taiwan isn't a hidden gem
waiting to be found
It's a place with centuries of history, complex identity, incredible food, and people who will make you feel at home in five minutes.
Growing up Taiwanese American,
I felt caught between two worlds — not quite American enough, not quite Taiwanese enough.
EVERLASTYING
is how I make sense of that.
It's how I reconnect.
And it's how I share what I've learned with anyone curious enough to look deeper.
