As we closed out 2020 and our first 30 months of nomadic travel, I’m digging into our finances to see how we did in 2020 (aka. the year of the global COVID-19 pandemic).
We are very grateful for the outstanding work that Taiwan has done to keep all its residents safe during this unprecedented global pandemic and we are also grateful that we as nomads can choose where we want to stay.
In this article, we won’t go over all the wonders of Taiwan that we already covered at length. Instead we will be digging into our expenses in Taiwan – during the pandemic for the past 9 months!
Taiwan is so much more than the Taipei 101 building and the label “Made in Taiwan”. More recently, Taiwan is deservingly getting more attention for its 220+ days without a local transmission of Covid-19.
Now that we’ve been in Taiwan for more than 250 days, we’ve learned a few interesting tidbits that we felt were worth sharing.
In this article we share 10 surprising things you may not know about Taiwan.
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.
If you’ve been reading our blog, you know how much we love numbers and since we ourselves enjoy reading about others’ blog income, we thought we would share our blog income if you’re curious and considering starting your own.
In this article we explain how we monetize our blog, what works, what doesn’t and how much we made in the third quarter of 2020 (which covers the period from 7/1/2020 to 9/30/2020).
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!
