Hey, there: I’m Tiff Ting. From July 2016 through September 2017, I took a solo, round-the-world trip. After that, I continued my nomadic lifestyle in Taiwan. I hope sharing my experiences is valuable, and not just to future me who needs a reminder of past me.

I love all things related to food, so you’ll hear a lot about that. I also enjoy hanging out with locals and going off the beaten path.
My native language is English, and I am conversational in Mandarin Chinese. My Japanese skills are very basic, and my Spanish is worse. I also need to warn you that I pronounce French in a way that makes even non-native speakers cringe.
