About Tour Guide Eva J.
Hi! I’m Eva. I’ve lived in the U.S. and Slovakia, and backpacked solo through more than 30 countries, I love meeting people from all over the world.
Growing up in Taipei, I’ve always been curious about Taiwan’s folk traditions, history, and Indigenous cultures. Like most Taiwanese, I’m a total foodie. I love exploring night markets, tasting local specialties, and even cooking myself! On my tours, I enjoy sharing not just the sights, but the little hidden gems, delicious bites, and authentic experiences that make Taiwan feel alive.
Come join me! Let’s explore Taipei together with stories and flavors you’ll remember long after the trip!
