I am currently wrapping up my year abroad doing Fulbright Taiwan as a first-year ETF, and I really wanted to share important things about my experience that could help future Fulbrighters to prepare for their time in Taiwan or decide whether or not they would like to come here at all. In this video, I try and distill as much helpful information in as little time as possible with as many helpful visual aids and direct footage I have taken as I could. Hopefully this helps you and/or gives you a better window into what life is like in Taiwan as a foreigner from the good ol' United States of America!

    Nice video! Very cool insights you have teaching in Pintung. Am applying for Fulbright here myself and stumbled upon your video. Really admire your energy and active attitude. If Fulbright grants me the opportunity to go to the US, I am gonna spend the time like you did!

    Kids in the third grade to the sixth grade are the best in Taiwan 🙌🙌🙌 They’re so creative, responsive and adorable 🥰 It’s amazing that you share these information about Fulbright Taiwan! This is the first time that I know they seek ETA / ETF!
