I can smell and see all these things while reading your memories of Taiwan! I can't wait to immerse myself in all of this next year when I go back. 🥹

wowww your sketchbook and film photographs are beautiful and stunning! so many details 😍😭 the smells of taiwan are the most visceral for me as well. now that i’ve lived in taiwan for almost a year, i’m worried the awe and wonder i had when i first arrived will fade. i can feel the reverence in your visuals! i’ve always had this deep unexplainable yearning for my parents/grandparents eras and you really captured all those feelings here!

Thanks so much Vicki! You're living out one of my dream scenarios! I hope you can continue finding awe and wonder in unexpected places in your Taiwan journey 💖 I'm glad to know I'm not alone, that unexplainable yearning is so powerful!
