Hi, I'm Jo, your enthusiastic host in Taipei! What I love most about this city is its pedestrian-friendly nature, making it perfect for walking or biking around and discovering new spots. The food here is incredible, and the friendly locals often offer delicious treats that add to the city's charm. I spend my days wandering through the vibrant streets, popping into small, cozy cafes where you can find the best brews in town. Parks are another favorite hangout of mine, where I enjoy playing basketball or frisbee for hours. Daan and Zhongshan are two neighborhoods I know inside and out, each offering unique experiences and hidden gems. I know all the secret spots for outdoor activities, from peaceful parks to adventurous trails, as well as where to find the best coffee. Join me, and together, we'll explore the heart and soul of Taipei, uncovering its many treasures and enjoying every moment of this vibrant city!
