In partnership with
Hi Out Of Office Crew! 🩷
Nǐ hǎo! I’m still having a great time in Taiwan. Finding my routine more and more, which feels good. There isn’t too much to do in the city I’m in, but that just means I can focus on work, haha. 🥹
I spent last weekend going to the local food market and on a small hike (awful, I know) in a national park. I went with my host, Trina, who is lovely. She showed me around and told me more about Taiwan and her family. 💕
This is why I love work exchanges! Such a different experience than just chilling in an Airbnb by yourself in a city centre. (You can still use this link for $10 off Worldpackers to find your work exchange!)
Anyway, I have to say, I found some REALLY GOOD stuff for this week!
So let’s check it oooout! 🎉

Taiwan for Free: What a Real Work Exchange Day Looks Like | Ep2.05
I found a listing on Worldpackers two months ago, applied, bought a flight, and now I'm living in Taiwan for a month teaching English to kids in exchange for free accommodation!
In this episode I break down exactly what a work exchange is and whether it's worth doing as a digital nomad with remote work on the side. If you're trying to travel longer without burning through savings, check this episode out!

💕 This week I’m..
Realising i’ve been using a free tote bag i got from the nomad cruise almost daily and how i would never travel without one again! This is one i would buy for a next trip!
Recording using a new tripod i bought in Bangkok (cause i forgot mine in Siargoa..) This time i chose a Magsafe one, very similar to this one below!
🌱 Tools, apps & other
Cafeor. Oke i just found this app, but i feel like its perfect for matcha & coffee enthousiasts. You can input your daily caffeine intake and take a picture of your cup. It creates a really cute overview of what you drank in a month! Extra, but i love it!
Kloak When creating content you sometimes want to blur someones face. Kloak is a really great way to get this done automatically. It adds an emoji to the persons face and tracks their movement!
👩🏼💻 Remote jobs & more
Also, this week I found some interesting remote job opportunities!
I’ve got a new obsession. Shaved ice. Specifically with mango and red beans. Does it look Appetising? No. Is it delicious? Hell yes. 😭
Look at these chips flavours 😂 I already shared the Cilantro/coriander chips, but i also found, steak, scallops, roasted chicken, mango, and soo many more strange flavours. 🧐🤓
Excited for another week in Taiwan! I’m planning on going to Taipei this weekend, so stay tuned for that! ✨👀
Thank you for reading!
Talk soon 🩷✨
