Inspiring Travelers: Go Profiles Monica Wong
Hello and welcome to another inspiring interview on GO! Overseas! In case you're new here, from time to time we like to profile some of the amazing travelers we meet, and learn about what inspires them to go overseas. This week we're excited to feature Monica Wong, an avid traveler who has also studied and volunteered abroad. Monica shares all of her experiences on the popular travel blog, A Pair of Panties and Boxers (more about the name later). We hope you enjoy the interview and please feel free to ask further questions in the comments below!...
When it comes to living abroad, there are a number of topics that prospective travelers take special interest in. If you are a single traveler, inevitably, the opinions and advice of those who have traveled before you on the subjects of relationships and dating can be extremely important.

This is not to say that such articles are of no value to gay travelers, but there are differences, and I hope that this article can shed some light and relieve doubts...

So what’s a lonely gal/guy to do? Starting a new romance abroad can be a very sticky situation to navigate. It could just be a fling, or it could open the door to what might become your new life. My experience deals with Taiwan (where I taught English), and I also draw on some...
If you’re reading this, you are most likely in a position where you are looking to go overseas and live life for a while. Maybe you are already familiar with the ex-pat lifestyle and are simply looking for a new scene or maybe this will be your first time going abroad – either way, might I suggest you seriously consider Taiwan.
In promoting Taiwan I am torn between the pride I have for living in such a fantastic place with the realization that, in many ways, I would prefer Taiwan not be heavily promoted and remain a travel secret for as long as possible. I have come to the conclusion, however...
