Travel

I am a former attorney, travel blogger, and life coach from the California Bay Area. My Taiwanese father fled his motherland due to government persecution and returned for the first time when I decided to study Mandarin in college. After leaving the law, I relocated to Taipei to discover my roots and now collaborate with Taiwan's tourism bureau and NGO's to promote sustainable tourism on the island with my blog, writing, and YouTube videos. See my press page for contact information.
