Taipei is a city close to my heart. This city is underrated by travellers, yet has so much to offer. From amazing street food, night markets, breathtaking temples, shopping districts, and futuristic vibes Taipei almost feels like a mini Tokyo or Seoul.

Exploring Taipei:  Travel Guide

Going on a trip to Taiwan soon but don't know where to start? Well luckily for you, I lived in Taiwan for six years and have been almost everywhere in the country!

I'm not a travel agent, so unfortunately I can't make bookings on your behalf, but I can do my very best to curate itineraries for you based on your wants and needs! Into hiking specifically? I got you. Want to prioritize coffee shops? I can do that too! Just let me know what kind of traveler you are and I'll craft up the best itinerary for you!

List of destinations in Taiwan that I know best:
- Taipei
- New Taipei City
- Taichung
- Hualien
- Taitung
- Kaohsiung
- Offshore Islands: Xiaoliuqiu, Penghu, Orchid Island

Other than those places, I have been to every other major city, national park, and more, so you can trust me to put in the work for you on these custom itineraries!

Tell me what types of activities you prioritize when traveling (museum hopping, hiking, shopping, etc.).

What types of activities do you not enjoy while traveling?

Are you an early bird or night owl (or don't mind both waking up early AND sleeping late)?

What's something that's usually the most difficult for you when it comes to travel planning (i.e. public transportation, where to eat, where to stay, etc.)?

What destinations in Taiwan are you visiting?

🧍🏻‍♀️Going on your first solo trip or just first trip to a new destination can be stressful but don't worry I can help you out with that! 

📲 If you're looking at booking a service with me, this call option is great as we can discuss what kind of trip you're thinking of and plan out things quicker than through text/email! I would prefer this option too because I can give you a lot quicker feed back and help you build the best trip :) 

🤓 You can ask me questions like: what part of town to stay in, can’t-miss activities, food spots, best shopping deals and so on! 

Looking forward to helping you out on your trip and feel free to message me here on thatch! I also post on socials IG/@joanneffan and TikTok/@justjjoanne if you’d like to see more of the recommendations I share! 


We can discuss all the questions in the call, but what are your most important notes you would like me to know before we chat!

Seoul, South Korea

Whatever trip you're looking for for your group like family or just yourself, I can assure you you'll have the best planned trip! Truthfully, I like to lightly organize my trips and adventure through the cities but let me know what you like! 

I've already created some itineraries here on thatch for some friends and it was easy to move things around as weather occurred 😣

🛌 I've stayed at various accommodations as well like hostels in Seoul to hotels in Tokyo, so let me know your budget and I can find you the perfect stay 😌

🍴Restaurants wise, I actually have a lot of food allergies so I'm very aware of the restrictions (perfect if you do too) but! I have many food creator friends that know the best spots in case I haven't been 😁

Looking forward to helping you out on your trip and feel free to message me here on thatch! I also post on socials IG/@joanneffan and TikTok/@justjjoanne if you’d like to see more of the recommendations I share! 


Do you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions?
