Luzhou District Taipei, The Beginning Of My Journey

In the park, I met some local students. Together, wearing Hello Kitty pajamas, we flew my drone and took some group photos.

Climbing the bird

Tested out the drone's auto-follow feature while climbing a giant bird!

This is Sanmin Park in Luzhou.

Almost got eaten by stray dogs

Honestly, seeing an empty, open cage is one of the worse things when you are traveling alone.

But happy at the end of it I got to eat some lamb stew and meet some fans. 😅

Marking my visit at Shuhong Ecological Park

Part of my challenge is I have to record that I have been to each location!

Praying my sleeping bag is enough

This is the first test of my sleeping bag. Today is January 20th 2026, and Taiwan is in winter and experiencing a cold front. 🥶

Talking a little about my challenge

Basically, I will be nomadic for the forseeable future, until I visit all 368 regions of Taiwan.

This is an audacious challenge, but I want something memorable and something I can look back on and be proud that I accomplished.

Wish me luck boys.
