Tell us your Taiwan story.
This is a short guided interview. Type or speak your answers, and we’ll guide you one question at a time. You don’t need to know what to say before you start.
A passion project, not a company.
WhyTaiwan? is an independent passion project and concept test, not a company. The goal is to build a richer, more human picture of Taiwan from real lived experiences, not to collect stories to sell participant data.
Each story matters on its own. Over time, recurring themes, challenges and positive experiences may also help us understand how people experience Taiwan and make those experiences more visible and useful. If the concept proves useful, the long-term hope is to grow WhyTaiwan? into a nonprofit.
The Video Story App is also in pilot mode. Prefer video? See the recording option.

What parts of your Taiwan story might you like to talk about?
