My long-waited holiday, since 2010 and here I come, Taiwan!!! Traveling on our own was lots of fun with all the unknown though sometimes it can be quite scary. However, with the spirit of adventure, we got to explore taiwan in our very own style. We like Taiwan, we love Taiwan and sure will be back one day to explore more!!!
