Noosa had been on my list of must-visit spots since the day I arrived in Australia. Partly because I eat the yogurt (obviously), and partly because I kept hearing how amazing this chic little beach town on the Sunshine Coast was. But when I finally made it there, it was a bit different than I…
I actually hadn’t even heard of Jiufen when I first booked my flight to Taiwan. It wasn’t until I started planning my Taiwan itinerary that I kept seeing it pop up everywhere“Jiufen Spirited Away in Real Life” was all over the place. That’s when I realized not only does it look super cool, but it’s…
Noosa was one of my favorite stops on our East Coast road trip through Australia. It had everything I love in a destination: beautiful beaches, scenic coastal walks, local markets, and a relaxed small-town atmosphere that makes it so easy to slow down and enjoy. We spent a few days exploring the area and managed…
Jiufen in Taiwan turned out to be one of my favorite places I visited on my trip. I hadn’t even heard of it until I started doing some research, but it quickly popped up as the most popular day trip from Taipei. Jiufen is a small misty mountain town that supposedly inspired the movie Spirited…
Taipei totally surprised me but maybe that’s because I had no idea what to expect when I came here. I visited for the first time this year, and it ended up being one of my favorite cities of 2025. The food is amazing, the culture is super fun to dive into, and the people are…
Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, ended up being one of my favorite cities I visited in 2025. Honestly, at the beginning of the year, I hadn’t even planned on coming here, but one thing led to another, and suddenly I had a flight booked. From the second I landed, I could tell this place was…
Honestly, at the start of the year I had no idea I’d end up in Taipei and definitely no clue I’d end up loving it this much. Out of everywhere I’ve visited this year, Taipei has easily been my favorite city so far. The food? I’m obsessed. The culture? Unlike anything I’ve experienced before. The…
When we visited Noosa last year, I had heard so many good things. One of my close friends had lived there for a year and would not shut up about the nature walks, the beaches, and the general coastal magic. And honestly, she was 100% right, this coastal town is magic! But if you’re like…
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…
