In this vlog, I travel to Taiwan as a guest of the Taiwan Tourism Bureau on behalf of GoPro to see what it's like to get out and explore the sights, sounds and smells of this beautiful island in Asia. Having not ridden a bicycle in years, it isn't without its challenges, but being a rookie I prove that even the 4th highest island in the world can be conquered if you get out and give it a shot. This is the Formosa 900 media tour in 2019. We travel from Yuanlin City to Sun Moon Lake, then the Chingjing Farm and summit at Wuling, at almost 11,000 feet in elevation. Giant Adventure guided us and kept us safe as we were able to experience Taiwan from the western cities to the highest peaks.

My new friend Cat and I captured the adventure on our GoPro cameras. These kept our packs light so we could concentrate on the road and get some unique perspectives. Especially with GoPro Max, the newest 360 camera. A trip like this is rich in culture and I'm so thankful for the people I met and for the food we ate! Traveling across the world to see Asia, we learn that even though the landscape is different, we share so many similarities with the friendly people of Taiwan.

Thanks to the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, GoPro, Giant Adventure, GoPro Ammo and GoPro Taiwan, as well as those friendly folks who helped us along the way, fed us, and taught us about Taiwan and it’s rich history.
