Hi Out Of Office Crew! π©·
NΗ hΗo! Iβm in Taiwan! Itβs only been a couple of days, but Iβm having a great time. Iβve not seen too much yet as im mainly working and chilling. So far so good!
The work exchange iβm doing is also quite nice. Iβm teaching English to 5-6 kids every day for just a couple of hours. Very easy work, which mainly includes drawing and playing chess, haha. So, not necessarily proper teaching, more just chatting with them.
And this will be my life for the next 4 weeks! Teaching english & exploring Taiwan.. not bad right.. π€
Letβs check out this weekβs deals! π

Eight new trips designed for families in search of adventure
Intrepid's new Premium Family trips are the kind you'll reminisce about for years to come. The eight new trips across Borneo, Morocco, India, Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand and Egypt put small groups of families in the hands of Intrepid's most experienced local guides β with feature stays, cultural immersion, and kid-focused activities woven throughout. Stay in an overwater villa in Borneo and plant coral with your kids. Spend a night at a desert camp in Morocco under live Gnaoua music. See the Taj Mahal at sunrise as a family. Intrepid handles all the logistics so you can stay present for the moments that matter, while travelling in small groups of three to five like-minded families.

obsessed with this new dry shampoo. For all my girls, you know how annoying oily hair is, especially on travel days, in hot countries, any day really.. This stuff.. itβs incredible!
thinking about buying a passport cover? I donβt particularly like the look of most of them, but i am getting more and more paranoid about my passport just floating around in my bag.. Any recommendations? I liked this one!

Worldpackers. If you want to do something similar to what Iβm doing now (teaching in exchange for a free stay). Then check out Worldpackers, you can find opportunities that let you work a few hours a day at hostels, eco projects, surf camps and more in exchange for free accommodation. Check it here and get $10 off β worldpackers.com
Onward. I literally used this website last week to get into Taiwan and it saved me so much stress. A lot of countries require proof you're leaving before they let you in. Onward generates a real, verifiable flight reservation without you having to actually book one. Takes two minutes, costs a few dollars, and border control accepts it. If you travel frequently, you need this. β onwardticket.com/
