Weekly recap below! (The theme was all about community).

🌱 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗶 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁: On Monday, I visited Impact Hub Taipei and had a great chat with Oliver Chang. It was inspiring to hear about the many initiatives and collaborations they have going on there, including #fuckupnights and a wide array of #sustainable practices, from eco coffee, to communal renting of imperfect domestic appliances like vacuums. Looking forward to connect with Impact Hub Barcelona when I’m back!

🤝 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲: Then I met Chiao Chan at Collplay, a new coworking space, right in the heart of Ximending. I initially met George in Singapore, and this week he introduced me to Jules Yim, a facilitator based in #Singapore who was just delivering workshops in #Houston, which is coincidentally where I was born. That was a fun connection! Also, there’s always a kindred kind of feeling when meeting other Asian facilitators for me, so that evening left my heart feeling very full. 

🇮🇩 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁!: Yesterday was our February Coliving Hub webinar with Lionel Wong and Javier Fesser Losantos about The Green Hub Lombok, a new coliving & coworking space opening in Lombok in 2027. Hearing about their journey so far, and seeing what is yet to come was very exciting – a big win for Southeast Asia!

Different countries. Different spaces. Different communities. 

Yet I found throughout the course of this week, a pattern emerged:

It was all about #community. 

In our own ways, with our own unique skills, with our own clear visions… building spaces where people connect, reflect and simply be together. What a true joy to be working towards this shared goal!

And on a personal note… tomorrow I turn 30. Grateful I get to spend it with my family here in Taiwan. 🎂

I’ll leave you with this beautiful quote I read on the train earlier this week from 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘺𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘮-𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱 by Hwang Boreum. 📚✨
