Time for some summer link love. We’re not the only who have had an exciting couple of months. Here’s the latest on what’s new and exciting in my world.
Friend and fellow blogger, David Reid was recently interviewed in Traveler Luxe Magazine. David’s site, David on Formosa, is the go-to site for all things Taiwanese. If you want to know what’s what in Taiwan, he’s the man to ask. David is riding high this month as his photography was recently featured in Sky Couch Magazine. Congratulations David! It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy and it’s nice to see you on the receiving end instead of always doling out accolades!
Ashlin of Tumbling in Taiwan goes to Hualien and writes about his adventures there. As usual, he includes loads of interesting photos and gives us a teaser….these are just from Part One! I’m excited to see more.
One of my photos was featured as photo of the day over at Fotozon.com. This terrific website is a lot like my own Taiwan Photographers site, but there are three times as many gorgeous photos to look at! Fotozon features a photo a day from some lucky photographer here in Taiwan. The photos are truly spectacular and there’s a nifty code included if you want to feature daily photos on your website. You can even nab a code for Fotozon’s facebook application to include on your wall! This post comes just in time to celebrate Fotozon’s one-year anniversary. Congratulations and keep those photos coming!
Writer Josh Clark, for How Stuff Works featured my photography from the San-zhi Pod Village earlier this month in his article on Five Modern Abandoned Cities.
Attention aspiring ESL teachers! Teaching Tips has picked up my post on Dealing With Culture Shockand has included it on their list of 100+ Tips and Resources For Teaching Abroad. No stone has been left upturned in this compilation, and if you’re considering teaching abroad, be sure to stop by and take a look around.
The Bushman and HC are back from their trip to the US. There are loads of new photos and comments about their travels, served up Bushman-style, of course!
A new-found friend and kindred globetrotter, Matt Kepnes, is a recent and most-welcome addition to my blogroll. Matt is the author of Nomadic Matt. If you haven’t stopped by his site yet, please drop by and say hello.










[...] is also sharing some link love. Please check my shared items at Google Reader and Taiwan links at del.icio.us for more. [...]
Wow Carrie. You made my day
Thanks a lot for your mention. Although in retrospect I think a weekend is not enough to experience the beauty of Hualien. I’m really entertaining the thoughts of following your steps and take a ride on central cross island highway.
BTW I checked out ‘Nomadic Matt’ and found it pretty interesting.
Also congrats on getting featured for San-zhi pod pictures. They were AWESOME and I especially enjoyed reading what you had written about it. Its just getting better and better.
thank you for the link love!!! we had a lot of love this weekend huh?! lol
Ashish,
Weekends are a great place to start. That’s when John and I do all our exploring. One of the things I love about Taiwan is how accessible everything is. One or two days is plenty of time to get a taste of something.
The ride along the central cross-island is one of the best journeys I’ve been on in Taiwan. John and I really enjoyed it. Are you planning on going by motorcycle or car?
Hi Matt,
My pleasure. You deserve it!
