Summer Link Love
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.
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 Shock and 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.

I’m a chronically ill and disabled Canadian writer, patient advocate, international businesswoman, artist, and lifelong geek at heart.I lived in Taiwan for 23 years before repatriating to Canada at the end of 2025. My Several Worlds began as a travel and expat blog, but over the years it has grown with me through chronic illness, disability awareness, advocacy, business ownership, systems change, and the messy business of rebuilding a life when your body and the world around you do not always cooperate.I’ve lived several lives in one body. I built a massive international recruiting business called Reach To Teach Recruiting, became a professional writer and patient advocate, and somehow ended up as a chronically ill systems nerd who gets wildly excited about websites, healthcare policy, research rabbit holes, cats, and whatever is blooming in my garden.I’ve also modeled in Canada, China, and Taiwan, including one very memorable Discover Taipei cover involving a pineapple, which I still consider peak expat achievement.I’m a bit of a jack of all trades and a self-professed autodidact. I love art, flower arranging, reading — which is an understatement if you’ve seen my Goodreads profile. I have a special place in my heart for science, technology, law, health and medicine, history, disability policy, and culture.Animal videos make me cry. I hate cooking. You can find me nerding out at home most of the time due to being mostly housebound. If I'm not engaged in one of the activities listed above, I'm probably building websites.Check my About page to learn why I’m taking you on this journey with me through My Several Worlds.
