Hi all!

Welcome to Day 22 of my 31 Day Blogging Challenge in July! Today, I am going to share the best thing to happen this year…so far! As our wedding and honeymoon haven’t happened yet, I will share my current highlight of 2016. That would be, without a doubt, my trip to Taiwan to visit my sister!

On March 29th, Mum & I flew from Melbourne to Hong Kong and then straight to Taipei. For those of you that don’t know, my sister has been living in Taiwan for a year, teaching English to children. We hadn’t seen her since she left in June 2015, so it was really exciting to board a plane and spend ten days with her. We spent three days exploring Taipei (staying in a really cute Airbnb) and then the remaining week in Taichung – only an hour train ride away from where my sister lives and teaches.

Taiwan is also the vegan capital of the world, so if you’re interested in the best places to eat, check out my post here. The weather was reasonably warm, so we spent a lot of our trip exploring places outdoors and meeting lots of Lauren’s friends. It was so much fun just being together, just the three of us. My absolute favourite memory was zipping through the streets at night on the back of my sister’s scooter. That feeling of freedom and excitement cannot be explained!

We saw castles, lakes, rainbow villages, stunning museums & the cutest characters! We were also incredibly lucky to spend the day playing with Lauren’s roommate’s kindergarten kids! Here are some more pics:

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, it was an incredibly memorable and special trip for us. It was wonderful to see my sister living so happily and free. She is incredibly inspiring and I look forward to her coming home for good in September!

What is the best thing to have happened to you this year so far? Have you ever been to Taiwan?

See you tomorrow! Peace & Love xoxo
