A recap video of my year in Taiwan living abroad as a Fulbright grantee!

My last weekend as a Fulbright Grantee in Taiwan was filled with family, friends and so much happiness. I don't feel ready to leave!

I just finished my last day of school as a Fulbright grantee and English Teaching Assistant ): It was a weird mix of emotions.

Some of the odd things about Taiwan, I will just never adjust to...here's a continuation of the oddities I've found in this country (I love)

I say my goodbyes as my students graduate and I get ready to head back to America for graduate school. My time as a Fulbright is almost over

Trying to barter and sell things at the local market with minimal Chinese is a disastrous combo....but an experience none the less!

I ran the International Olympic Road Race in Taipei! My first half marathon was (mostly) a success!

I went to Taitung, Taiwan where I went hang gliding and spelunking all in one weekend! Adventure!

As my time as a Fulbright grantee winds down, check out some of my most interesting events of the past month!

My Taiwanese host family took me to a local hot spring to cook veggies! We also stopped at a mochi factory! A wonderful and food filled day!

A trip to Nantou ended up being one of my favorite weekends in my entire year in Taiwan! Filled with sheep, roller coasters and gondolas!

You can't experience a Chinese New Year in Taiwan without attending the lantern festivals! We went to the Taipei and the Pinxi Festivals!

Living abroad in Taiwan all alone can be lonely...but my entire family came to visit! Check out the ups and downs of our trip here!

A short vacation to Vietnam had me falling in love with Mui Ne and reflecting on my time as a Fulbright grantee in Taiwan.

For the first day of 2015, we headed west to Taichung to visit the inventor of bubble tea!

I thought Times Square New Years was cool...but the fireworks at Taipei 101 were absolutely amazing!!!

As a Fulbright ETA, I try to bring American culture to Taiwan...which definitely includes Christmas...the only problem is I know nothing...!

In a school completely surrounded by nature, you're bound to get a few visitors...today I got my first one!

In true Taiwanese fashion...I got my hair braided at a local salon...and couldnt look more local if I tried

I took my first trip to the South of Taiwan to Kaohsiung and explored the big city!
