The Taiwan List Nobody Handed Me When I Moved Here
I retired from the military, looked at a map, and chose Taiwan. That was not the plan anyone expected, including me. I live in Taichung now, the second largest city and the one most travelers skip on their way between Taipei and Kaohsiung. That is their loss. Taiwan is safe, affordable, obsessed with food in the best possible way, and genuinely welcoming to foreigners in a way that still surprises me. This list is what I would have wanted before I arrived: the honest version of what travel and life here actually look like.
