In this article, we go over all the health-related care we have had since we became nomadic and the experience associated with each of them. We look at how much money we spent on medical care over the past 2+ years and draw some conclusions from it.
In this article, we share our 3-day itinerary where we explore part of the lovely east coast of Taiwan by bike! We cover where we went, where we stopped, how we rented our bikes, how much we spent and everything we learn along the way!
Do you ever feel busy but not productive? Do you easily say yes simply to please & without really thinking about it? Do you wonder: “Why did I sign up for this?”. Maybe you should then consider reading Essentialism!
In this article, I will be going over the book from Greg McKeown that I read in March 2020. I discuss what the book is about, what is my take away from it, and the specific action items I implemented in 2020 after reading it.
In this article, we will cover one of them: the countryside town of Houbi and share the itinerary we took as it is really worth visiting if you have the opportunity to visit Taiwan.

What does life looks like ‘stuck’ in Taiwan during the pandemic? Strange but wonderful and we are very grateful for being currently in Taiwan during these unprecedented times.
In this post we are doing a recap of what we’ve done in July 2020 while most of the world is still battling with the coronavirus.
As you will see Taipei have been keeping us busy, offering us many sights and activities to practice. Are you ready to discover what Taipei has to offer during the pandemic?
What is life like ‘stuck’ in Taiwan during the coronavirus pandemic?
For the month of June, we went on a month-long journey of fast travel to explore the island of Taiwan for a total of 31 days and manage to spend less than $1,800 in doing so!
During this escapade, we based ourselves in three locations: Hualien (9 days), Kaohsiung (14 days) and Taichung (7 days) and checked out a lot of places as we will share in this post. Some of our favorites included the amazing Taroko National Park, the gorgeous sunrise and tea plantations and sunrise in Alishan, the beautiful islands of Tianjin, and Liuqiu, the bike ride in Chihsang and much more!

It’s been 2 years since we got married, got rid of all of our stuff and left San Francisco to become nomads and slow travel the world! Year 1 was amazing, we were living out our dream lifestyle to see the world and staying in some really cool cities. Plus, we were able to do all of that for half the cost of living at home in San Francisco. Coming into year 2, we were becoming seasoned nomads and getting into a rhythm of enjoying new places, eating delicious meals, exploring nature, settling into monthly apartments and even making new nomad friends. We learned a lot from year 1 and applied similar money saving techniques such as booking long-term Airbnbs and using airline reward points. We had exciting plans for 2020 but like the rest of the world, we had to quickly adjust when the pandemic hit in March. As a result, we became grounded nomads and had to decide where we wanted to wait things out for the last 4 months of year 2. This also involved canceling a lot of flights and Airbnb bookings.
What is life like ‘stuck’ in Taiwan during the coronavirus pandemic? Strange but wonderful! It feels strange because while most of the world was on pause in May, Taiwan has been moving forward and operating as usual. We dine at restaurants, get on crowded subway rides, explore tourist sites, see students going to school and workers going to work. We feel guilty at times for leading such free lives after we completed our home self-quarantine. If we were back in the US or France, we would still be unable to move around freely and would be constantly worried about possibly spreading the virus to our loved ones so we are very grateful for the freedom we have in Taiwan. So for that, thank you Taiwan!
