I just found this hilarious short about being a travel writer and had to share it!
Hi Matt,
I have been researching living and working in Taiwan and came across your writing, tips, information and blog. I have found this to be a wonderful resource.
I have seen enough of Taiwan to know that I would be happy living there. I would like to marry my Taiwanese girlfriend and settle down there.
This is a great video of freerunner (parkour) accidents.
Tony Eitnier and Thomas Arnold, authors of the Contemporary Nomad travel blog, live quintessentially postmodern lives. Arnold, a German chemist, and Eitnier, an American language and communications trainer, started their travels as couple without a home. Because of the exclusionary marriage laws in their respective countries, neither was able to obtain a visa to live in the other’s home country. This pushed them into a nomadic lifestyle, and online entrepreneurship, both of which they have come to love.
Dear Matt,
I’m thinking of moving to Taiwan, but I’ve heard there are not as many teaching jobs as there used to be. Are there still many jobs? How can I improve my chances of finding one?
Thanks!
Cliff
Dear Cliff,
When I first arrived in Tainan six years ago I would be approached on the street and in restaurants by people who needed teachers. When I went to an interview, I would be interviewing the school, rather than the school interviewing me. Teachers were in very high demand. Schools would accept anybody.
This is the second part of a two-part interview with Debbie Dubrow, author of Delicious Baby. Part 1 can be read here.
