A Life Surrounded by Good People: Impact Hub Taipei and Community (Weekly Recap)
· 1 min read
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. 📚✨
