  • Rediscovering Taiwan: A Journey from Resident to Curator

    I returned to Taiwan, not as a resident this time, but as a visitor. My journey in Taiwan has evolved from simply living there, to exploring and sharing my travel experiences with others. Now, I've taken on the role of a curator, crafting unique and fulfilling travel experiences for those who venture to the destinations I've explored.

    I used to believe - many many years ago -  that Taiwan was a great place to live but not necessarily a top travel destination. I couldn't have been more wrong – Taiwan is an incredible place to visit, and it's equally extraordinary to call home. Reconnecting with Taiwan has allowed me to refocus my passion. My aim is to become one of the world's premier travel planners, specializing in the destinations I know best, and to host or produce the most impactful travel podcast globally. Traveling to stunning destinations like Taiwan continues to inspire and transform me. Embracing my past and its role in shaping my journey has been pivotal in becoming the person I aspire to be.

  • Life at Home & My Return Abroad
    My time in Taiwan was heavily focused on leadership, including building and leading several leadership teams, opening the first bar and art gallery of its kind, in addition to starting a travel company aimed at helping many people from my community experience their first international travel journeys. After 12 years, I made the decision to return to the USA, which marked the beginning of a new chapter that included marriage and a deep dive into my passion for travel. This return journey has raised numerous unanswered questions and reaffirmed my sense of self. I delve into these experiences and more in the latest episode of The Black Expat Podcast.
