About

Life is like a big fat juicy peach, right? (WWPN '07 love)
I am an undergraduate student attending American University in Washington, DC. This year I will be an exchange student at National Chengchi University (NCCU) in Taipei, Taiwan.
I hope to use this blog to help other students who are interested in studying abroad in Asia, inform my family and friends of my whereabouts, and engage those with similar interests in lively conversation and sharing.

Hi Danielle,
My name is Alexandra and I really enjoyed sharing your student experience in Taiwan through your blog. Your blog is funny and full of useful tips for people who wants to go to Taiwan, and that’s why I contact you today.
With some friends in Singapore, I created a 2.0 portal on weekends in South East Asia travel : http://weekend.com.sg/
Our goal is to simplify the search for weekends in and out of Singapore, with good tips from bloggers. We are not a travel agency, we only improve search for everyone through our search technology.
We are glad to announce you that your blog has been selected by our travel team to be listed on Weekend.com.sg – which means that you will get visibility on the web through weekend.com.sg as well !
Please id you can help us to by linking the website or by inserting one on our “Weekend.com.sg” logos on your website , easily available at http://www.weekend.com.sg/badges . That will certainly help positioning your blog as a reference for south east Asia travelers !
Contact me by mail for any questions
Good Job Danielle for your Blog and good luck with your studies !
Alex
Thanks Alex! That’s pretty cool!
Danielle,
It’s way late here as I type this and I’m not sure you are still at NCCU? I am applying for a Fulbright and am in the process of affiliating with them.
I would love to talk about your experience if you have time.
cheers,
Justin
Hey Justin!
I am no longer at NCCU. I am back in the US, but would be happy to answer any questions and discuss. Feel free to contact me at danielleslpr@gmail.com.
Best,
Danielle
Danielle,
Did you attend the Chinese Language Center at NCCU? I’m thinking about attending there and was wondering what you thought of it, in terms of level, what they focused on, like conversation, or more read/writing.
thanks!!!
