Productivity videos from Taiwan

I’ve just come back home from a trip to Taiwan 🇹🇼 where I’ve had lots of great experiences, met my co-worker Emilia and experienced a major earthquake. What’s really important is that I’ve learned a lot during this trip, especially that it was to such an efficient-running and well-organized place like Taiwan. Here are a few shorts I recorded and published my new @MichaelTeam YouTube Channel during this trip:

Meeting Emilia

Emilia works in Nozbe support team and thanks to the fact that she’s based in Taiwan we have a major time zone difference and she can answer Nozbe customers’ questions when everyone else from our team is asleep.

P.S. Emilia’s Taiwanese husband, who was a videographer here, runs their very very popular YouTube Channel - over 200K subscribers!

Travel tips specific to Taiwan, but applicable to other places as well: get eSIM, use Google Lens and use local technology to be able to take advantage of the above-mentioned excellent public transport:

Pouches

Speaking of travel tips, I love packing in pouches. I have my tech pouch and pouches for clothing. It’s very efficient way of traveling:

Earthquake

I’ve witnessed the biggest earthquake since 1999 in Taiwan and luckily I was fine. The good thing about this one was that Taiwan was much more prepared than 25 years ago - here’s what they learned:

Taroko Gorge

One of the things that did get significantly destroyed in the earthquake was Taroko Gorge and because of that is closed indefinitely now, which is a shame. Luckily I was there a week before the earthquake and flew there with my drone and recorded some fantastic footage which I decided to share:
