Introduction
My name is Tiffany and I was born in the city of San Fernando on the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago (Trini). I moved to Toronto, Canada at the age of 14 and have lived there ever since till the end of December 2009. I moved to Taipei, Taiwan in January 2010 to live with my boyfriend. In late February we moved to Keelung where my boyfriend worked, a city only about 40 minutes by train from Taipei. Now I'm back in Toronto and will stay here for a while until the next destination calls out to me. :o) I worked in the magazine publishing industry for over 10 years and have been involved in Photography for much longer than that. I'm currently freelancing in the photography and wedding invitations business.
I joined expat.com on 29 September 2009.

Expat experience
I love the multicultural diversity of this city! The food and products you get here, are stuff you can find all over the world. Imported by the people who moved and now live here.
We really need to improve our transit system. SMH. No major changes or improvement since I first moved here in 1990. Well, except for that silly 5 stop train from Sheppard to Fairview Mall. Yeah, that's not a major change, just a major cost to the city. We need the system that Taipei has.
Made a lot of greeting cards. Travelled some more. Experienced a Taiwanese wedding.
I love the transit system in Taipei and the affordability and ease of travelling across the whole country. LOVE IT!!!
A ton of rain in Keelung and Taipei in the winter time.
My great friends and family here. Great shopping, sight seeing. I love heading up North in the summer time!
The extreme heat and the extreme cold weather. May not be extreme to some people, but it is to me.
I moved to Taiwan in January, 2010.
- very friendly people - the tropical weather - Always somewhere great to go walking and sight seeing. This place has endless beauty.
- All I can say now would be the typhoons. - Well, I kinda got one, but it's not soo bad. Being as it was just Chinese New Year, well three weekends ago, people are still lighting off firecrackers in the late mornings...STILL! - Every single BBQ street vendor sells chicken guts and butts, but it's hard to find one who sells the meat. :o( - No central heating in the homes, but that's not terrible, just uncomfortable in the mild winter time.
- Best part of my life here: my niece and nephew, Tyanna and Nathaniel. - I produced my own website - I do wedding photography and wedding invitations - I also design greeting cards in my spare time - I took Desktop Publishing and Photography at George Brown College
- Great friends and coworkers. - Great cultural diversity of people and food
The cold summer nights, the freezing eye watering winters.
- Most of my family are still there, so I have a great reason to visit often. - I love the weather, the tropical plants, the beautiful beaches, the stylish houses.
Hmmm, I don't know.
