    I’ve been to Taiwan several times. It’s scenery and people and culture are amazing, wondrously diverse. It will change you for the better, make you realize how great it is to be alive.

    Did a solo bike trip in southern Taiwan (Hualien to Tainan) in Fall 2013. Incredible trip. Taiwanese love cyclists -- when truck drivers go by you they yell "Jia you!" ("Keep it up!" or something similar). Highly recommend it.

    Had to pause the video right at the start, go make a coffee and grab some chocolate digestives and just sit for the 10 mins or so enjoying it, no distractions. Your love, patience and passion for what you do shines through in your videos and I hope you're doing them for ages to come, wherever the trail leads. Although I better go easy on the biscuits if you do. Have fun, take care :)

    The effort that went into making this trail is amazing and the upkeep has to be massive.

      For others, and we hope there are many people who are ignited to travel and visit these places (hopefully using your app in Japan), but see you going to these amazing places (like in Taiwan), and say...I want to see this for myself.
      You help people see that it IS possible to travel.

    Thank you so much for this! I recently was deciding between Taipei (never been) and Japan (5th visit) for a weeklong vacation including hikes. Ultimately Japan won because Taipei was almost 10°C warmer for the week -not hiking weather.
    But now I wanna go when the weather is cooler.

    I went hiking somewhere on the east coast, we were told there was a Temple or shrine at the top to look at. Thing is it was very ruined so we didn't even know we saw it, and passed it. We hiked for hours while someone was waiting for us at the bottom. Our legs were dead. 😂

Never been to Japan I'm really looking forward to it but nervous of course. I know zero Japanese, I have been watching some of your videos on phrases and trying to beat them into my head 😂😂. Really the one thing I'm nervous about is just getting to the Hotel from the airport. Trains busses and taxis what do i take. From Hiroshima to fukuyama station. The guy over there told me the hotel is within a minute walk from the station. Would you like to take me 😂😂😂 I know NO!! Now I sound like a creaper but what do you think would be the easiest way to get to the hotel?
