台湾。铁路单车环岛离岛。放逐solo行。

2016 Aug. Rail & Bike Travel Itinerary. Taiwan Island & Orchid Island.

背包旅行真的会让人上瘾。独自为伴随性出发,放任享受大自然美景,轻松体验生活可以很简单,沉淀心情回归自己。

念念不忘半年前二月份的台湾花东自由行,决定在回去上班前再来一次台湾环岛行。这次想走得更偏远,从北到南绕一圈,也到离岛蘭嶼看看。自备折叠脚车,想到哪儿就骑到哪儿。

先在台北住了一星期,期间去了乌来、台中、瑞穗、玉里。之后的三个星期,单人行程从台北出发搭台铁沿西海岸南下到內灣、高雄、墾丁,转游轮到蘭嶼,返程到台東、骑车沿东海岸北上经三仙台、石梯坪到花蓮、搭客运到太魯閣、火车到宜蘭、再转客运回台北。

这一个月的轻松旅行,接下来慢慢与大家分享。。。

Taiwan is one of my favorite travel destinations that I keep going back, again and again. The island is blessed with gorgeous natural landscapes, delicious local delicacies, convenient transportation, and very friendly people wherever you go. Traveling within Taiwan is easy and comfortable. Quality homestays in scenic areas are common and best of all, very budget friendly.

I decided to go on a more ambitious round-island solo backpacking trip via rail, bus, and my foldable bike this time. After spending a week in Taipei taking short trips nearby, I started my solo round island trip. The highlight of my itinerary is Orchid Island, an offshore  hard to get to island still inhabited by its native aboriginal residents, that retained much of it pristine natural beauty and tribal charm.

My following blog posts will share more pics and details of my month-long travel…

2016 April 1st. Singapore

Jooch Journal is finally launched today! And yes, the date 1st April is deliberate, can’t think of a better time than April Fool’s Day to do it. Hope the blog will not end up being a joke however. 🙂 For a start, I have written on my recent trip to Taiwan. I will continue to periodically post photo travelogue of my previous and future trips to other parts of the world. Hope you will enjoy my posts and photos. Feel free to keep your comments coming, I may entertain and reply you sometimes if I am very free, haha. Special call out to my old time IT guru friend J, without whom this computer idiot would never possibly figure out how to set up a blog. 🙂

就是散记,隆重面世!咚咚咚锵!🎉💐🍻💝

Enough. After 15 years in civil service, I decided it is time in end 2015 to step away from work to make time for myself, to reflect, experiment and experience life. My passion for travel, food, design and beautiful things is known amongst my friends and colleagues. Now that I have all the time and freedom to do what I love, I want to start this blog to share my experiences. Who knows, maybe, and I’m probably daydreaming, this may lead to new opportunities and exciting adventures. That’s it, let the fun and joy begin…

恁爸嘜做了!跟老板说出这句话时,爽翻了!在公家机构打了十五年工,下定决心管他的,2015年下旬任性地休息一年再说。突发奇想,反正有的是时间,把这些年来的经历,好玩的、好吃的、好看的、所思所感等等,整理一下跟大家分享。制造机会重新认识自己,做自己爱做想做的事,说不定,前方有片新的天空等着自己任意翱翔。或者是老来也可自己翻阅重温回味,就是这样,散乱随性地收集记忆,如此而已。
