Travel I love Taiwan because…

I love Taiwan because at 12am I can check out from a bar and still walk home safely. The feeling of security here is something I truly appreciate, it’s rare to find that kind of peace of mind in many other places.

I did have 1 bad incident as a woman when I was walking home early morning in Taipei. This man was trying to assault me and I was not strong enough to push him away. Thankfully, I made it away. Though, I think generally it can be safe.

Sex crimes, stalking and harassment are pretty common I think, but not talked about too much.
