Hey, I’m Gi.

I’m a Taiwanese American woman who grew up in NYC and moved to Taiwan at the onset of Covid.

What started as a temporary stay turned into long term residence as I realized that this country provided me with the safety and security that I was seeking all along.

Homebound: Taiwan explores the island’s top travel destinations and hidden gems, tips for living and integrating into Taiwanese society as an adult, and some inspiring stories from Taiwanese diaspora.

I hope that this space can function as a bridge between where you are and the beautiful island of Formosa.
