Description
Anyone who visits Taiwan, loves Taiwan... Blending travelogue and guidebook, Taiwan: An Underrated Paradise chronicles a young black woman's whimsical encounters with culture shock and the places and people she meets while living in Taiwan. Her venture reminds us what it means to explore- beyond the the picture perfect moments and into the history of a place and the journey to self discovery. The tail-end travel manual and itineraries encourage you to choose adventure, even if that means traveling alone. Fall endlessly in love with Taiwan over and over again- in love with the abandoned train tracks turned bike trails through the caverns of mountains or bridges from which to watch the sunsets that I've chased here more than anywhere else... Fall in love with fruits whose sweetness defy the very existence of sugar, in love with the periwinkle silhouettes of mountains layered bewitchingly against the sky. The hot air, winding roads, and luscious elevation remind me of my parent's home in Jamaica. Taiwan is home... Taiwan is me...
