FAQs
========================================
Q: How long did it take?
A: My trip was 14 days.

Q: Which airport should I arrive at?
A: Having travelled from the other side of the globe, I arrived at Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei. If travelling from Australia or Asia, there may be connecting flights to Kaohsiung International Airport on the south-west coast of Taiwan.

Q: How much did it cost?
A: You can see a cost breakdown of my trip at 12:37

Q: How did you pay for things or get local currency?
A: I just take money out from an ATM using my debit card. It has a small international transaction fee, but it’s minuscule if you only do it once or twice. You may be able to order foreign currency at better rates, but it’s not something I personally bothered with.

Q: Is it easy to find petrol stations?
A: Yes, you'll find one pretty much everywhere, including remote areas in the mountains! I always went with caution and ensured I had a full tank before entering remote areas, however to my shock, there were petrol stations, and even 7 Eleven stores in remote mountains! Just to be safe, I would highly recommend getting a full tank of petrol before going to the mountains.

Q: Which month did you go?
A: I visited mid November to early December and spent 14 days there.

Important note about these videos:

I work alone on these videos in my own free time, and each video takes hours to complete, from searching for popular destinations, coming up with a schedule, to filming, editing the videos, and thumbnail creation.

I do all this because I personally have a passion for exploration, learning new cultures and experiencing new things I have never felt or seen before. My perspective on taking holidays and enjoying them to the fullest I can comes first, with the video creations second. I follow this because the whole point of a holiday is to experience things first hand, enjoy it and have fun. I hope that in creating these videos, these can encourage others to explore our wonderful planet and everything it has to offer, while providing some assistance in choosing where to go on holiday, with helpful tips that I learned from my trip.

I spend months in Taiwan and still can’t see and do enough, so I keep going back. I love Taipei. I can’t get enough of it. Almost everyone speaks English. The educated young people are the most literate in the world. Over five years it adopted me and I, Taiwan. We are family. I have several dozen close friends. The are my didi’s (brothers). They often say ‘we are your family’.

Absolutely no need to feel like a failure, as you stated in the video. It's all about the journey, not just the destination. Cheers, Guy

Thank you everyone for 100, 000 views on my video, exactly 9 months after posting this (21/10/23)! It means a lot to me, and I can't wait to bring out more videos to inspire those to travel around the world. It's truly an enjoyable hobby and I wish I could do it more, but regardless, I love the adventures I can go on.

[jeremymandelkern]

Thanks for sharing Taiwan's offerings. I've been in love with Taiwan since my first visit over 10 years ago. It grips you like no other place in the world.

[paiwanhan]

I love Yuanzui Shan. I was lucky enough that I got to the top. Hopefully you can return again and get to the top on a clear day. The sight is breath taking. I also highly recommend Jade and Snow mountains. Although, the hike to Jiaming lake, a.k.a. Angel's Teardrop is equally if not more impressive. Taiwan's east coast, oceans, mountains, river tracing, natural hotsprings, and aboriginal cultures are all incredible, and worth revisiting.

Good suggestions for places to visit. Can't wait to visit Taiwan

[alaska]

Taiwan is full of everything. Beautiful nature plus sophisticated city life. clean, safe n convenient. ppl are nice n civil ❤

[DanielOppliger]

Very informative video. I like you comment about Airbnb's. We wasted too much time finding the place in Madrid and Ireland. We could have stayed in centrally located hotels in Ireland for not much more money. Likewise we spent 12 days in Taiwan. We want to go back sometime.

I am Taiwanese studying in Spain currently, now I miss my home🥰

[ChrisAndEmilie]

Great video and totally agree with you about Alishan. We visited the national area a few years ago and it was definitely worth it! Also, we remember that 7/11 🙂

[meihsieh]

Lovely video. Also interesting to see the hotels and cost comparison in the end.

Awesome video! I really want to travel to Taiwan. Hopefully I can find the time next year! This video was a great guide and I appreciated how you highlighted both cultural and natural attractions. Everything you did there was exactly the sort of stuff I enjoy doing anywhere I travel to!

Hi Adam, just wanted to thank you for the great video. Very informative and even though my family and I have been twice before and have Googled endlessly about where to go, your video really captures the beauty of the many attractions of Taiwan.
