HEY FRIEND, WELCOME
On EVERLASTYING, you’ll feel like a local in Taiwan and New York City. I share insider guides to must-visit spots and offer helpful tips.
As I continue to travel, I’ll expand my guides to new destinations, always staying true to my mission:
live light, travel deep.
This means embracing a minimalist lifestyle while fully immersing yourself in new cultures and continuously learning. Because travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how deeply you experience it.
