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…
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…

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.
