Hey, I’m Chloe!

I’m a Taiwanese-American hailing from Los Angeles, California. I went to NYU majoring in Hospitality and Tourism Management and also lived in Vero Beach, Florida before moving to Taipei, Taiwan to study Mandarin. I am now working as a PR Coordinator and video journalist for Atayal - Indigenous Bridges, a non-profit group that is working to build bridges and to tell the stories of Taiwanese indigenous tribes.

This blog is named after my wonderful Grandma Dorothy whose maiden name is Chow and hails from Oakland, California. My fellow boba partner-in-crime and OG sweets lover, I dedicate this blog to her, someone who is sharp-minded, faithful and witty at 99 years young.

Fun fact: one arcade exists for every two convenience stores in Taiwan (which are on almost every block in Taipei at least). Moved here on September 1, 2017 - three years in Taiwan today. Praise God 🤍 #taipei #taiwan #台北 #台灣 #西門町
