Welcome Digital Nomads, Expats, & Anyone Curious About Taiwan

person in taipei city, taiwan

I’m Theo. A U.S. expat who moved to Taiwan over 5 years ago.

Why Taiwan?

It has a much more interesting culture than back home, it’s safer, has more efficient public transportation, and a decent healthcare system.

Of course, it has its cons. But not enough to sway me from moving here.

Since I don’t have a degree, I can’t teach English, which pushed me to become a freelance writer, because it’s what I know how to do. And that turned me into a digital nomad.

Why did I make the Eager Nomad and NaviTaiwan (my other site)?

I wish I would have had more information to help me on the details on moving abroad. Whether dealing with loneliness, adapting to a new country, or understanding how to move everything from the States to Taiwan. I couldn’t find many resources where the authors had similar scenarios.

Since I live in Taiwan, I know a thing or two about moving, living, and traveling here. Hence, all my travel and expat guides.

You may not want to move to Taiwan. While I haven’t traveled everywhere on Earth, I provide many recommendations on alternatives to consider. Being a digital nomad, I’ve learned what’s important to consider when working remotely in another country (e.g., internet connectivity).

In addition to digital nomad location recommendations and Taiwan guides, I’ve experimented with various tools to make my life easier abroad. For instance, virtual mailboxes have enabled me have a U.S. mailing address and to forward mail.

I hope the information I provide will make transitioning abroad easier.
