Having a tight schedule as a graduate student is really exhausting but fun at the same time, and I also get a sense of pride in being productive.
But most of the time we get too carried away with this busy world, and it makes it hard to even just stop and rest. Taking a step back for a short moment to restart our brain and recharge our energy by traveling really is worth it.
Solo-traveling is not my cup of tea but then I realized that once you take a step out there, you’ll be amazed at how amazing the places you visited and the people you met along the journey! It was such a heartwarming feeling to be able to explore new places around Tainan, try different kinds of foods, and get to know a lot of amazing people.
