THE ULTIMATE TAIWAN TRAVEL BLOG

Planning a trip to Taiwan? Or just want to know more about it?

I have personally lived in Taiwan for over a decade, published two books about Taiwan, and done exhaustive, on-the-ground research for every article on this site. My partner is Taiwanese and we raised our kids in Taipei.

I also write at nickkembel.com and answer your questions in my Taiwan Travel Planning group. My work has also been featured on CNN, National Geographic, and BBC.

About Me

I’m Nick and I’m obsessed with Taiwan!

That’s right, I’m a Taiwanophile. I first moved to Taiwan in 2008, married a Taiwanese, and my kids were born and raised in Taiwan. I can never get enough of exploring this magnificent country.

I’ve written about Taiwan for National Geographic, CNN, numerous travel magazines, and in my book, Taiwan in the Eyes of a Foreigner. But you’ll find my best content here, on Taiwan Obsessed!
