    Follow me on my solo motorcycle trip around the island of Taiwan!
    pt. 1 Hualien
    I’ve been wanting to do this trip since moving to Taiwan but never really found the time to. I always told myself that If I were to do it, I would my time, so for this trip I decided to complete it in a 2 week time frame. This way I can hang out and explore the cities longer and have less travel days.
    My first stop was Hualien, known for it’s beautiful scenery, and it didn’t disappoint. If you have time, hang out with me for a bit as I explore Hualien!

    There are some seriously genius shots in this video. Very different from all the TW videos I've watched. The bits of silence and narration and very well interspersed. It's quite courageous to do this alone.

    I like your life-style travel. It is difficult to appreciate simple beauty in a busy life. In Hualien, the sound of the waves is free but you can't buy it at a price.

    Your vLogs have a special warmth to them. Really really love them. Make me seriously homesick. I'm kind of the reverse you: born and raised in Taiwan but now settled in the States. Thanks for these :)

    My parents are from Taipei and I always wanted to visit Hualien but never had the opportunity to! Your video gave me a really good idea what it's like there in the most creative way! I love the style you chose to film it in, including the music, which sounds very poignant to me. Definitely a nice touch!

    I love this series Mike. I just finished watching the 5 episodes of your tour plus the one on motorbiking without talking. Great editing. Great atmosphere and pace. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your channel. I'm an American currently based in Philippines with a long history in mainland China and Japan. I visited Taiwan long ago and felt something special there. Your videos captured what I'd hoped is still there.
