Taipei was never really on my radar until this year, and then I went, and now I can’t shut up about it. The food is incredible, the people are super friendly, it’s easy to get around, and every neighborhood feels a bit different from the last. It’s one of those cities that just feels super…
Alright, so a huge part of Taipei’s food scene is happening at the night markets. When I looked up what to eat in Taipei and where to find the best food, night markets like Shilin Night Market and Raohe Night Market came up every single time. Night markets are a big deal here with over…
Hey everyone, Carae here! Taipei, Taiwan’s capital city, was one of the most different (in the best way) cities I’ve been to in the past couple of years. I’ve spent time in Latin America, Australia, Africa, and Southeast Asia, but Taipei was the first place where the culture, food, and language felt totally new to…
This might honestly be one of the most important articles I’ll write about Taipei, or even about Taiwan in general. I loved exploring the city and learning about the culture, but if I’m being real, the food ended up being the main highlight for me. For a lot of travelers coming from the US, Europe,…
Taipei being one of my favorite cities in 2026 was definitely not something I saw coming, but here we are, and I’m a big fan. The city has an incredible mix of culture, kind and welcoming people, cool things to see, and my personal highlight, some of the best food I’ve ever had. I just…

Taipei has officially become one of my favorite cities, no question about it. When I first visited earlier this year, I honestly had no idea what to expect, but I ended up being completely blown away. The city is full of culture, friendly people, amazing food, and so many cool things to see and do….
For a lot of people, myself included, Kuala Lumpur often ends up being the gateway into Southeast Asia. Flights from Europe or Australia frequently stop over or connect here, so chances are, you’ll pass through at some point. Whenever that’s the case for me, I usually make it a habit to stay for at least…
For a lot of people, including me, Kuala Lumpur often ends up being the gateway to Southeast Asia. Flights from Europe or Australia frequently land here or at least connect through, so over time, I’ve made it a bit of a habit: if there’s a stopover in KL, I always try to spend at least…
I’ve said this in a few of my other articles already, but Kuala Lumpur is definitely one of my favorite big cities in Southeast Asia. It’s got that proper big-city energy, a huge skyline, tons of things to do, but it’s still super affordable. I always think of it as a cheaper, more laid-back version…
