Description

Hi, I’m Kat (Shin-hwei) a digital nomad who loves working while traveling. I teach English online, work as a cultural guide in Taiwan, and help foreigners learn basic Chinese.

I’ve visited nearly 30 countries in the past and have been living a slow-travel lifestyle since the summer of 2025. Through work exchanges, I’ve helped organize hostels, supported family-friendly activities, led tours, and cared for pets—while learning deeply about local culture along the way.

I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and taking time to experience a place through its culture, scenery, and communities. Sharing stories and meaningful moments with others is something I truly love.
