I've also lived in Taiwan throughout 2020-2022 and from 2022 til' now in South Korea. Occasionally visiting Japan to make videos :) Most of my content is based on hidden spots + recommendations and budget traveling tips as that is How I Began (as a student) Growing up I've always enjoyed making videos and sharing what I discover/learn with my friends so here I am! Check out my socials : TIKTOK - @justjjoanne 81K+ INSTAGRAM - @joanneffan 19K+ As I love going to new spots, I get to try out lots of food spots and see new places! i also have a Korean locals help to include all the spots he and I think are worthy :)) For locations like Taiwan + Japan, I've spent my fair share of time and I also got my local friends to share their favorite secret spots <3 Let me know here on Thatch or on Instagram DM's if you have any questions and definitely check out my stories for reviews from other users + more hidden spots as I update there more frequently!
