After three years here, I can ensure your that Taiwan is an amazing travel destination. I wrote a blog about my personal picks for the most beautiful places in the country: https://travelingkunz.com/2026/07/01/5-most-beautiful-places-in-taiwan/

TLDR: My top 5 recommendations:

• Kenting beaches
• The “Blue Diamonds” of Kinmen
• Keelung Island cruise
• East coast around Taitung
• Snorkeling with sea turtles in Xiaoliuqiu (Lambai Island)

More details in the article :)

Have you guys been to any of these? What would you add?

Cool little harbor city with a weird but interesting mix of Scandinavian, Baltic, and East German architecture.

Tried Labskaus (sailor food). I’m still not entirely sure what I ate, but it was part of the experience.

I spent some time in Rostock, a small harbor city in northern Germany. And it ended up being way more interesting than I expected.

The architecture is a strange but cool mix, Scandinavian influences, Baltic coastal vibes, and leftover East German buildings all next to each other.

I also tried Labskaus, a traditional sailor dish.

Ich hatte endlich Zeit, mein Rostock-Reisevideo fertig zu schneiden: https://youtu.be/SnK_vdwbNbw

Dieses Jahr war ich zum ersten Mal in der Hauptstadt von Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Eine wirklich schöne Stadt mit entspannter Atmosphäre und überraschend gutem Essen.

Ich werde es nächstes Jahr wahrscheinlich nicht zurück nach Deutschland schaffen, daher freue ich mich umso mehr, dass ich dieses Jahr zumindest ein paar Tage dort verbringen konnte.

I just published a new blog post for anyone planning a trip to Kinmen: https://travelingkunz.com/2026/06/15/10-best-attractions-to-visit-on-kinmen-taiwan/

I aimed to find a good balance between nature, hiking trails, beaches, and some of the more unusual sights you will only find on Kinmen, like the Chen Jing-lan Western House and the Jincheng Defense Tunnel.

After three years of living in Taiwan, these are my suggestions. But I think you can visit all of them in like 4-5 days.

Some impressions from my trip to Szczecin, Poland. I honestly really liked the city, it feels quite underrated and often overlooked. There are so many historical places to explore, and the food scene is surprisingly good.

A few highlights from the Narrensprung in Bonndorf during my winter trip through southern Germany.

I recently finished editing a travel video about the journey and wanted to share some of my favorite impressions from the festival here.

I just finished producing a travel vlog about my winter trip through southern Germany. I wanted to share a few impressions from the Narrensprung in Bonndorf, one of the traditional Fastnacht events in the Black Forest.

I recently finished editing a travel video about my winter journey through southern Germany and thought I share a few photos here as well.

These are some of the moments that stood out during my trip to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

I got back from a trip to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, a few weeks ago, these were some of the highlights.
