Hey Reader,

​

Happy New Year 2024!

Reflecting on 2023, I lost my father in July, started new businesses in October, and met many inspiring individuals virtually and in person. My hiking adventures continued, bringing both challenges and serenity.

As we step into 2024, I'm eager to try something new.

While the posts on Taiwan Hikes are long and detailed, those I share every Friday are short, relatively easy hikes or things you might be interested in, like smaller trails, old houses, etc. I still have so many trials waiting to put into words, but the time is limited, so I need to be more productive.
​

Looking ahead to 2024, I have a few goals:

1. Continuing the Hiking Planning Service: Last year, I began assisting hikers in planning their adventures in Taiwan. Navigating the trails and logistics can be daunting, especially for those new to Taiwan.

2. Small Group Hikes for Non-Chinese Speakers: I'm exploring ways to open up guided hiking trips in Taiwan to a wider audience.

3. Enhancing the Social Media Presence: Keeping up with regular posts on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter (my preferred name than X) is quite the task. I'll try to keep up with them if possible.

4. Balancing Work and Wellness: I have a huge knot on my right shoulder blade, and you might experience the same thing, too.

What are your plans for 2024? What would you like to see from Taiwan Hikes and Friday Hiking Journal?

I'd love to hear about your plans for 2024 and what you'd like to see from Taiwan Hikes and our Friday Hiking Journal.

This year marks my 5th anniversary with Taiwan Hikes, and it's been a journey filled with learning and growth. Thank you for being a part of this journey. I'm looking forward to another fantastic year together.
