Because Taiwan is set to implement visa free entry to Filipinos, I am getting a lot of inquiries about my recent trip. So I came up with this post – the itinerary of my weekend escapade in Taipei! Honestly, I have always ignored Taiwan. Aside from the fact that I find it too close to home, I didn’t really see it interesting enough.

Travel Notes: DIY Solo and Self-Guided Trek to Annapurna Base Camp
