We have finally arrived in Taiwan our 35th country! It’s our first time in Taipei and we have so much to see, eat, and do! We obviously have to start off with a food tour, one of our favourite ways to explore a new city! We don't have much time in Taipei because we plan to explore the entire country by cycling over 1000km around the island of Taiwan. An adventure we can't wait for 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ but in the mean time we need to see the highlights of Taipei.
