The hiking continues as the weather becomes warmer and more humid. I will soon need to be hiking early in the morning as during the day, it’ll be too hot to survive a multi-hour adventure without A/C. This hike was always intended to be a group hike, but usually, when others join me, the group…

This was another excursion out along the TSLT, this is supposed to be the final leg of the journey. I haven’t been doing them in order for several reasons, one of which is accessibility. Some of the trails require that I get up for the 5:40 am bus to the trailhead, and while I am…

After being cooped up in the hotel during the earthquake and then traveling back home on a long train ride, it was time to explore Taipei the way I usually see it. On April 5th, the weather had cleared enough that we could go for a hike. I decided to take my family along a…

Continuing the adventures of my family and I, when last we left off, we’d taken a 4.5-hour long train ride along the eastern side of Taiwan, starting in Kaohsiung and ending in Hualien. We arrived later in the evening, so we quickly got some food and quietly wandered around the immediate area. Our plan on…

This week’s adventure features the lovely Yangmingshan National Park. In March and April, there are tons of flowers in bloom, so much so that special bus routes run during this time of year to take people to see the fields of flowers. The illustrious Zac and I decided to brave the crowds and head up…

The weather has been stormy and cold in recent days, but there was a small break in the storms. I decided to head out for a hike on the northwestern side of New Taipei City 新北. I’ve hiked a portion of the Taipei Skyline trail, particularly the northern portions, so hopping over to the western…

Hello everyone! It’s been a little while; apologies for the radio silence. I’ve been busy writing and working on some Ph.D. requirements, the Fulbright grant, and ensuring everything is set up for when I return home in July. I am back now and hopefully can keep posting once a week. Today is a hiking adventure!…

Hello friends and family! I am currently working on a few things with rapidly approaching deadlines, so the posts for the next month or so might be short, or they may only happen once a week. I might try to include a few academic updates and maybe try to give you a day in the…
