your guide to Taiwan, NYC & beyond

Hiya, I’m Melinda 👋🏼 — a Taiwanese-American traveler based in NYC.

I created EVERLASTYING to help you explore Taiwan (and a bit of NYC & beyond) with intention, depth, and lots of love. My mission will always be to live light, travel deep — because it’s not about how many places you visit, but how deeply you experience them.

Hi, I’m Melinda! 🙋🏻‍♀️

When I’m not curating the perfect Taiwan itinerary for ya, you’ll find me exploring NYC more deeply, sipping tea at a newly opened boba shop or teahouse, or discovering new Asian restaurants to taste.

I love authentic experiences, supporting small businesses, and sharing the travel stories I’ve learned — so you can explore each spot more deeply and travel smarter, without feeling like a tourist.

EVERLASTYING is where I bring all those adventures together — helping you uncover hidden gems, savor local flavors from neighborhood shops, and create moments you’ll never forget.
