As the enginerd and I are currently hanging out in Taiwan again, it was finally time to go visit Alishan (阿里山). Not only is it one of the most famous tourist attractions in Taiwan, but it also carries the same name in Chinese as the enginerd, and he has been like constantly talking about going…

Day 58: Leaving Laos
Whoa, we’ve been on the road for two months now! Tan skin, empty bank accounts, and a smile on our faces, we’re about to start the final month of our journey, exploring Taiwan, Cambodia and finally, once more, Thailand (and we’ll be joined by someone who’s been featured in this blog almost two years ago!!!)….
Day 37: Train Z322 To Lhasa (Feat. Pandas)
After laptop hunting in Shenzhen (horrible!), visiting Shanghai Disneyland and walking the longest glass suspension bridge in the world, travelling across China and climbing on one of the most beautiful mountains in the country, we needed some serious enlightenment. And what better a place than Tibet? Travelling to Tibet has been made somewhat difficult for…

Houtung Cat Village aka the Best Day Ever!
Okay, unlike usually, this post concentrates just and only on cats ♥ . Those adorable little assholes, who absolutely hate you. Just as much as you love them. Anyway, today we sort of accidentally found a cat village!!! As we were heading to Sandiaoling Falls (三貂嶺瀑布群步道口) (more on that later), I happened to look at Google…
FinnsAway
Road To Self: For some time now, we’ve been looking for (read: hanging out on Twitter, Instagram and WordPress Reader) other Finnish travel bloggers. Based on our very non-scientific research on the aforementioned platforms, there seems to be more of us out there and every individual, couple and family seem to have their own method…
Koko Elämän Pituisella Matkalla!
Road To Self: Olemme jonkin aikaa etsineet blogiimme vieraskynäilijöitä Suomesta. Tänään, ystävänpäivänä Taiwanin aikaa, saamme jakaa Heidin tarinan. Heidin seikkailut ovat päätähuimaavan inspiroivia ja melkein voisi suomalainen kateus iskeä, ellei osa matkakohteista olisi yhteisiä 😉 Lue lisää alta Heidin omin sanoin: “Kuten suomalainen lauluntekijä J. Karjalainen aikoinaan lauloi: Doris oli toisenlainen, Doris oli reissunainen. Täytyy…

So, being practically broke, and having just enough money to survive until next year, we have now started planning our next great adventure:…
50 Shades of Taipei
Nearly 5 months ago, I arrived to Taoyuan airport with my husband, a back-bag, Pleco downloaded to my phone and very high hopes in heart. And OMG (a serious OMG, sorry guys, I’m rather excited about everything that has happened here), we have been having fun. As a matter of a fact, I want to…
Bucket Lists
Since we’re having a unique opportunity to have my lovely ex-co-worker brightening up our vacation and keeping us awake if we get drowsy, I decided to interview her a little. We’re mostly talking about travelling here, so I wanted to know about her travel-related bucket list. Although I asked her about it only a couple…
Happy New Year!
We’ve been here in Taipei for a month now, and so far the following things have happened: We have been very cold (+15 degrees inside and outside in our first place here, not fun times) We have arranged so many practical matters, that I’m about to update my LinkedIn profile and call myself a professional…
