Melinda, founder of EVERLASTYING, in Taiwan

Behind the journal

Nice to meet you

Hi, I'm Melinda: Miami born, California raised, Brooklyn living, and Taiwanese at heart. EVERLASTYING is my travel journal: the food, the places, and the stories I'm learning as I get to know where my family comes from, so you don't just visit Taiwan, you understand it.

And wherever I travel next, the journal grows with me. The goal stays the same: travel respectfully, learn the history without judgment, and leave every place a little better than we found it.

Taiwan deserves to be seen, felt, and understood, not through the headlines but through a local's eyes. To understand its history is to understand my own.
