ABOUT ME

Hello, I am Vivi from Taiwan. I was born into a very traditional family. However, I am quite open-minded. I moved out when I went to University. At 18, I hitchhiked on the east coast of Taiwan. (I recommend everyone to hitchhike in Taiwan.) My first time to go abroad was to do an internship in Singapore at 20. That year changed me a lot cause we worked with people from all over the world with different cultures and backgrounds. It’s kinda interesting. During that time, I saved money to backpack around nearby countries, ending up falling in love with solo travel.
Now, I work in TPE airport as a ground staff. (So basically, if you come to Taiwan, you can see me upon arrival.) In my free time, I love to look for waterfalls with friends by riding a scooter, go hiking, camping, surfing, and chilling from the seas to the mountains. (Taiwan is an island with tons of mountains.) To be honest, I don’t like my job, but I take advantage of it, which is traveling by using staff discount tickets. I really love to meet new people to share stories and cultures. It makes me who I am now.
