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.
Taichung Second Market is where old-school Taiwan flavors meet a maze of local eats. I finally checked it off my Taichung list — and wow, there’s a lot more to this place than pork rice and noodles. This guide dives into what to eat, how to get there, and hidden gems you might’ve missed, even if you’ve been before!
