Adventures await us in our beasty 1990 Roadtrek 🚐🌲🥾 — she’s been sitting out winter in Washington while we tanned our toes in Mexico 🇲🇽

I’ve never been able to choose between the mountains ⛰️ and the sea 🌊 … you?

Tell me what kind of summer you’re manifesting in the comments! 🧡

And... WE’RE LIVE!! 🚀

I’m stoked (read 90% nervous, 10% excited), to share that @slomadstories is officially OUT THERE!

I actually had the first episode published on April 4th, but was too shy to share about it until now.

But, as you’ll hear when you tune in... (🥳) this podcast isn’t just about highlighting raw, meaningful stories of adventure by ordinary people who seek an extraordinary life — YES, it’s mostly about that — but the very heart of this podcast is about DOING things despite how much they SCARE you or thrust you into the UNKNOWN.

I’ve always *tried* to live my one very short life by seeking to know, chasing curiosity, and jumping headfirst into the journey.

— This podcast is simply a new endeavor, a new project that WILL NOT stop whispering at my heart. I’ve been trying to deny this urge, this tug, for so long! The whispers started in 2020 when a person who I thought would become a close friend bailed on the idea to start one together. So I let the idea go, for a while. But then it came back twice as strong in 2022, when I was living as a temporary nomad in Portugal for two months. It was there that I had my podcast cover art designed. That was already 1.5 years ago!

Life passes us by...

We hear the whispers, we see the project coming to life in our heads, we feel the pull...

But we say no over and over again, and we make very legitimate excuses, until ultimately, the idea, the spark, the magic, fades; it chooses someone else to birth the idea and manifest itself into creation (something I learned reading “Big Magic” by Liz Gilbert, it’s amazing, go read it!).

I have no idea why I felt the need to start a podcast, it’s not like I am already juggling enough.

But I wanted to, for me.

For you ✨

For everyone who ever chased that feeling, that tug.

Because that??

That’s been my life for the last decade. I moved abroad countless times — and stayed — from Nepal to Mexico and beyond, and I would’ve never done ANY of it if I had not listened to the whispers.

This podcast is about continuing in the pursuit of the unknown, seeking more, and taking decisive action.

Welcome to Slomad Stories, & thank you for being here. 🧡

MINI GUIDE TO JIUFEN 🏮🇹🇼👇 🍡 Explor

MINI GUIDE TO JIUFEN 🏮🇹🇼👇

🍡 Explore Jiufen Old Street and try local street food (The taro balls came highly recommended! We ate giant pork buns, xiao long bao dumplings, and a vegan pork noodle dish!)

🍵 Visit the iconic A-Mei Tea House for traditional tea ceremony and sweets (a bit touristy, but worth it for the views imo)

🐉 Pick up some of the magic of “Spirited Away” in the shops (there are so many souvenirs and Studio Ghibli themed goods)

⛰️ Hike to the top of Keelung Mountain for a fun and sweaty adventure (go before sunset and go prepared for thousands of steps, lol)

🏮Wander through the narrow alleyways — explore away from Old Street!!

⛏️ Learn about the town’s history at the Jiufen Gold Mine Museum — you can take night tours for a small fee or organize them through your hotel

🎭 Visit the two-story historic Shengping Theater, an abandoned cinema that provides a glimpse into Jiufen’s past

💦 Explore the nearby Golden Waterfall (10 minute drive)

Most people only come to Jiufen for a couple of hours to stroll through Old Street and take a photo of the teahouse since it evokes the bathhouse in Spirited Away🏮🐉 with its architecture and lanterns. But DON’T make the mistake of coming only for a day!!

There is so much to do in Jiufen, even though we stayed 2 nights in the town (highly recommend), we wished we had stayed longer. 🥹

Oh yeah, and BRING AN UMBRELLA!! ☔️ Or don’t, the locals will give you one out of the goodness of their hearts (our hosts were the sweetest!!) ❤️

Save this to your Taiwan bucket list, pass this reel along to a friend, anddd check out my blog @bucketlistbri .com for more adventures abroad! 💃

Add this wildly beautiful destination to your Taiw

Add this wildly beautiful destination to your Taiwan bucket list! ⛰️

With its towering marbled canyon walls, turquoise waters, hiking trails, wispy waterfalls and temples tucked away in the hills, Taroko Gorge/National Park is one of Taiwan’s raw natural gems and is definitely a must-see! 💎

Bookmark/save this mini guide to Taroko to help plan your trip! 📌

BEST TRAILS & SIGHTS
🥾Shakadang Trail
🥾Tunnel of Nine Turns
🥾Swallow Grotto
✨Eternal Spring Shrine & Bell Tower
✨Buluowan Suspension Bridge

WHERE TO STAY
You don’t need to stay inside the national park, however, we did! We stayed in the cutest log cabin at the Taroko Village Hotel, where we dined on the Taroko indigenous-inspired food, and woke up in the peaceful misty moutains. It was lovely, but if we were to visit Taroko Gorge again we’d probably choose to stay in Hualien for convenience and take a day trip or two in/out of the park by car or tour. Without a personal car, it’s not super easy to get around between all the hiking trails and sights, so keep that in mind if you’re heading in by bus and hoping to hop around on your own.

At any rate, Taiwan’s natural beauty blew us away on our first day! 🤩

Follow along @bucketlistbri for more adventures abroad! 💃✈️

Shout out to this incredible South Asian country full of ✨✨ masala ✨✨ that gives more than it takes and has a way of making you feel wildly alive 🥹💃

If you haven’t been yet, you NEED to put India on your bucket list!! 🇮🇳

The diversity of India is just amazing, and I’ve barely even seen 0.10% of it! So far, I’ve been to Kolkata (West Bengal), Agra and Delhi, and several of the color-themed cities across the desert state of Rajasthan including Jaipur, Jodhpur, Pushkar, Jaisalmer, and, briefly, Bikaner. And now Goa!!! 🌴🦀

India has so many worlds of its own existing inside its borders, I’d love to go back and explore it deeper!

Have you been to India yet??!

PS — all clips are from my 10 days spent in the breathtaking state of Goa for a digital nomad retreat hosted by @nurall_co 💛
