I teach English in junior high school. I have 3 girls, one 12, the twins 9. When available, we are willing to prepare food from local farmers for you if you reserve earlier. I cook almost every day, so it’s our huge pleasure to have more fun with you at the dinner table. During winter vacation (end of January to late February), I will be available to drive you around Taroko and East Coastline Scenic Areas for some local, subtropical yet well-known attractions to show you the best that Hualien has to offer!With powerful fuel of food, you may hit the road to either hike at the breathtakingly beautiful Taroko National Park, or cycle along one of the most attractive bikeways by the coastline or around the lake. It is until lately have I found out, as a host, sharing is its own reward after all the excellent experiences with my guests. A 3-day stay will be full of exotic memories; a one-week trip will make you dwell on the attractions, rooting to the land!

Read More...We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our home exchange partners Sean, Beville and their three beautiful girls! In effect, we after some evenings of WhatsApping we felt so comfortable with each other that we decided not to home swap but to offer each other hospitality so we would get to know each other. While staying with us in our home, Sean and his family were perfect guests! When we were in Taiwan, Sean had endless time for and patience with us and showed us around everywhere in the gorgeous environment of Hualien, such the Taroko gorge, the coastal highway, and a lot of temples. As a teacher, Sean knows to perfectly explain the historical and cultural context of the places visited. Their home is spaceous, clean, and the entire family very hospitable. It is worth contacting them, they like to travel and to welcome people from abroad! We will for sure keep friendship, and, if destiny permits, meet again!
