In this episode, we’re joined by journalist and seasoned traveler Katherine Fan for a heartfelt conversation about visiting Taiwan—one of Asia’s most underrated and welcoming destinations. Katherine shares her personal connection to the island and offers practical tips for planning a meaningful and efficient trip.
We talk about why Taiwan is a great choice for families and solo travelers, from its safety and public transit to its rich culture and incredible food scene. Katherine walks us through itinerary ideas, must-visit cities, outdoor adventures, and, of course, the night markets.
We also dive into travel logistics, including visa-free entry for U.S. passport holders, booking hotels with points, and using tools like MaxMyPoints and Time Shifter to streamline your trip. Whether you're heading to the hot springs, hiking a national park, or sipping bubble tea in Taipei, this episode will get you inspired and prepared.
