In perhaps one of those beautiful parts of Taiwan, you can find Alishan. Deep in the mountains, in the tallest of peaks, there’s a native village known for their traditional food, flavorful tea, and ancestral roots. Being native Cuban, Taíno, I couldn’t help but feel at home here. It’s amazing to find a culture that’s half way across the world so similar to yours. Their dances and even their clothing resemble some of my people’s back at home.
Here, half way across the world, I found another home. Something you might find when discovering Taiwan yourself. It truly is magnificent to see the world’s tapestry and where you are woven in to. But there’s only one way to find out…go visit!
