When we travel down Taiwan’s eastern frontier, there is never a shortage of opportunities to gaze into the flat ocean horizon. Gazing into such vast distances seems to summon supernatural (“super natural”) feelings, like staring into the night’s sky. We may become entrance as we follow Taiwan’s coastline, but eventually we will reach southern Taiwan. […]
An hour flight from Taiwan’s Songshan airport (TSA) is your next weekend Taiwan getaway: Kinmen Island. Translated as “Golden Gate”, Kinmen Island is a cluster of islets and islands rather than one island. This article will focus on the Greater Island which, for Marvel comic fans, rather resembles the eyes of Venom. Succinct to the […]

Bali has so much hype, you may wonder if it can live up to such high expectations. Yes, it can! This island paradise, one of Indonesia’s 17,000 islands, is often regarded as Australia’s favorite place to party abroad. There are so many Aussies that local prices are often listed in Australian dollars. Yet, Bali is […]

My Favorite Taiwanese Foods (not to be confused with Thai food!) Being a Canadian living abroad, many people innocently ask me, “What is Canadian food?” I rarely have a good answer but, to satisfy Foodie interrogators, I often resort to mentioning poutine and maple syrup. The truth is, most Canadian diets seem to consist of […]
South Africa is a stunning country. It has history, natural beauty, a stunning variety of cultures, and no shortage of must-see world attractions. Lovingly regarded as the “Rainbow Nation”, it is a country that has also had the mixed blessing of addressing some of the world’s most pertinent problems, such as racism —and recently, water […]
Thailand is probably the most “exotic” (non-Western) country that most globetrotters are somewhat familiar with. When visiting, I often compare the tourist spots to a house party: it’s loud, rowdy, and full of crowds. That said, it entirely depends on whether you stay in a city, like Bangkok (Bangkok article), or venture the countryside. It […]
Wulai is located in the water source protection area which you can imagine the air, water, and environment here is nice and clean. The residents are mostly from Atayal indigenous tribe. In addition, the word “Wulai” was originally from Atayal language, means “hot springs”. The spring is a weakly alkaline carbonated spring, clear and transparent. […]

This article is not medical advice. You are probably familiar with the Paleo-diet, eating “Keto” or other soundbites related to the low-carb lifestyle. Often, such conversations focus on weight-loss and chronic health conditions. Here at InnerNational Travel, however, we would like to highlight the convenience of being “fat-adapted” while on vacation, at an airport or […]
It doesn’t take a lot of arm-wrestling to persuade someone to visit Italy or Vatican City. I anticipated the weeklong trip as anyone would: with high expectations and a fanny-pack filled with preconceived ideas. I was already aware that I would see the world’s most highly acclaimed artwork, the cappuccinos would be disappointedly small, male […]

Taipei is a pleasant city, appealing to city-slickers and nature-lovers. To be frank, it is one of my favorite cities.
There are few cities that evoke reactions like Beijing. A friend of mine humorously describes it as the “most Chinese place on Earth”, whatever that means. For many, the mere idea of Beijing symbolizes much more than just a city, but a vast jigsaw piece of human history. From the vantage point of other Asian […]
Our journey begins in Taiwan. For those unfamiliar, Taiwan is that sweet-potato shaped island near mainland China’s southern coastline. To avoid confusion, Taiwan is regarded as an independent country by some governments, whereas others consider it part of China. When I order items from Amazon Canada, for instance, my shipment is marked “Taipei, Taiwan Province, […]
