one week until Connor's mum and dad fly out to join us for 7 weeks backpacking around south east asia!!! ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŽ’

if you're new around here, me and Con are now 7 months into our own trip and we are soooo excited to be able to share this part of it!!!!

disclaimer, I obviously have the soundest in-laws in the world (in-laws to be I suppose??) I know for some people this would be their worst nightmare lol, I am very very lucky ๐Ÿ’–

we put this itinerary together based on their preferences of nature, wildlife, history and culture and I think this itinerary should be a pretty good balance of everything, but let us know what you think??!

neither Jadu or Paddy have been to Asia before, although Paddy's brother has actually lived in Bangkok for the past decade or so, so it will be lovely for them to hang out there too!! ๐Ÿป

maybe you're interested in backpacking south east asia for the first time, looking for a a south east asia backpacking route / itinerary, or even thinking of retiring soon or considering backpacking over 50 too, make sure to follow along and I will bring you all with us on this trip of a LIFETIME ๐Ÿ’–

4 spots in 2 days: our DIY itinerary from Taipei ๐Ÿฎโœจ

Houtong, Jiufen, Shifen & Keelung, all super easy to visit using public transport at your own pace without a tour!!

1. Houtong Cat Village

take the train to Houtong Cat Village! allow around 2 hours to explore the little village & stroke many cats x

2. Jiufen Old Town

take the train to Ruifang Station, then swap to the tourist bus up to Jiufen! we explored for the afternoon then stayed overnight at Green Ray OwlStay and had dinner at Follow Me Goose Cafe, which is owned by the sweetest lady in the worldddd ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

our biggest tip is to wait until 8:30pm onwards to see the lanterns without all the crowds!! sooo worth staying overnight for this

3. Shifen Old Street & Waterfall

the next morning we took the bus back to Ruifang Station and connect to Shifen by train, allow 3 to 4 hours here to explore the old street & walk to the waterfalls!! we also ate the most delicious vegan bento here!!

4. Keelung

take the train back to Ruifang Station, then hop on the bus to Keelung! wander around the harbour, explore the night market & eat lots of yummy food!! we stayed overnight at Just Live Inn, New Dahua Hotel ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

the next morning, take the direct train back to Taipei ๐Ÿฆ‹

we absolutely loved doing this little trip independently rather than booking a day tour, especially getting to see Jiufen after all the day trippers had left!! ๐Ÿ’˜

02/10/2026

100% vegetarian night market in Taiwan aka the stuff of DREAMS ๐Ÿคฉ the veggie food options in Taipei has been the best of any city in any country we have EVER been to, we never want to leave!!! ๐ŸฅŸ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿฅข
