My first solo trip and yes I repeat clothes, why I have basic, neutral-colored clothing. Function and comfort 👍

It was easier this time to edit the videos with all the sound from the raw videos because I didn't have anyone to gossip with or talk to lol!!!

The staff and owner were very kind and welcoming. I would stay here again.

I got the EasyCard with TWD400 Deposit and 5 Days 4G SIM Card from Chunghwa Telecom

Why go back to Taiwan?

I was thinking about Vietnam because of the food but the weather is cooler up north, although it was raining. But it didn't bother me because I live in a place that often rains. Plus the convenience of the MRT and Taiwan is fairly safe for solo travelers! I also visited places that we didn't go to in 2018.

I only had a backpack, and no check-in baggage going to TW. I washed and then used my clothes again because there is a laundry area at the hotel.

My first time alone.
The feeling of being nervous, my stomach getting twisted in knots, puking just before I left the house, eating so many medicated candies to make me feel at ease, and having a sleepless night before the trip.

My first time.
Going through the 2nd interview of immigration haha because I was alone. You all know why Pinoys. Good thing my husband and I had good travel history.

Not my first time.
Doing a red-eye flight. I still could not sleep properly during a red eye. I sleep soundly during a day flight. Maybe because it's so bright my eyes would instead be shut.

Not my first time.
Bringing work during travel. Might purchase something lighter and easier to take next time lol.

My first time.
An uncomfortable experience? Getting hit on by a creepy and persistent guy during my first hour at the airport arrival while waiting for MRTs to open in the morning. Friendly turned uncomfortable. A "No, thank you" will always be a NO. Good thing an implied action made him leave haha. Ruining my first day or first hour haha. Report it if you feel harassed. #empowerwomen #safespace

Would I do it again?
Maybe, if I were to go back to a familiar country or if my husband goes home first, I will stay for additional days, haha.

The needed ME time.
It was a well-deserved impromptu trip.
Taking time just thinking about myself, what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go and what I wanted to eat. Not thinking about time as well.

Plus not understanding the language made me think less about what other people are saying haha.

Just me, my thoughts, my phone camera, Maps, X3 and Facebook Messenger lol!

🔅EasyCard and Taipei MRT system for being oh-so convenient and easy.
... and my feet, thank you for keeping up!

The best part of my solo trip?
Hearing people say...
YOU ARE SO BRAVE
When they learned that I was alone.
That gave me more strength and determination.
