Born and grew up in Taipei region, I am a total Taipei product. I often wander, ride a bike in the city, and hike in the surroundings. I can tell stories about old and new sides of Taipei city. I can show you downtown fashion vs. slow life, and cultural rhythm in Taipei; or nature and environmental issues. Taipei is a basin, with many trails around, easy and pleasant to hike. Besides, Taipei is not far from the sea, easy to get to the beach and seaside. There are always different choices for outdoor activities.
