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…
Looking for a good coffee and breakfast in Taipei? You’re in the right place, because Taipei’s coffee scene is actually incredible. I didn’t expect that either, but it really surprised me.

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…
Kuala Lumpur might be one of my favorite major cities in Southeast Asia. It’s a place I keep coming back to, either as a stopover or just because I genuinely enjoy the big city vibe. I love the skyline, the energy, the mix of cultures, the food scene, and of course, how affordable it is….
I’m sure you already know about Sepilok in Sandakan and the orangutan sanctuary, I probably don’t need to tell you about that. But what you might not know is that there’s more to do in Sepilok than just visiting the orangutans. The Rainforest Discovery Center is also located in Sepilok, just outside of Sandakan, and…
