Hey there, I'm Charwie.
For as long as I can remember, cycling has been more than just a sport to me.
It's been my way of connecting with the world. And there's no place I feel more connected to than my home, Taiwan.
If you’re reading this, chances are you've seen the stunning photos, lush green mountains cascading into the deep blue Pacific, vibrant temples tucked away in bustling cities, and a cycling path that hugs one of the world's most beautiful coastlines.
Taiwan is a cyclist's paradise.
I’ve been lucky enough to not only grow up here but also to have spent years guiding riders from all over the globe on tours around this incredible island.
I’ve shared laughter with friends from different cultures against the backdrop of a Taroko Gorge sunrise and helped them push that last kilometer to a local restaurant that serves the best beef noodles you’ll ever taste. I live for these moments, and my greatest passion is sharing them.

But I’ve also seen the other side of the story.
The Hidden Challenge of the "Perfect" Taiwan Trip. The internet is filled with blogs and videos about cycling in Taiwan.
Many adventurers arrive with a downloaded map and a heart full of excitement, ready to conquer the famous "Round Island" route.
The problem? A GPS route on your phone doesn't tell you the whole story.
I've met too many travelers who, relying on Google Maps, found themselves on busy, industrial roads with trucks roaring past, completely missing the serene farm lane just a block away.
I’ve seen cyclists struggling up a brutally steep, sun-exposed climb in the midday heat, unaware of a shadier, more scenic alternative.
Worse yet, I’ve been there when unfamiliarity with the local environment, weather, or road conditions leads to preventable accidents.
A simple case of heatstroke or a nasty fall can turn a dream trip into a nightmare involving hospitals and canceled plans.
These aren't just logistical hiccups. They can rob you of the joy and freedom that a cycling adventure is supposed to be about.
Your Ride, Your Way. Just with a Local Friend's Know-How
This is why I decided to offer something different.
Imagine having all the freedom of a solo adventure, but with the insider knowledge of a local friend. Imagine not having to spend countless hours agonizing over which route to take, where to stay, or what to eat.
Imagine just enjoying the ride.
That's what I want to create for you. This isn't a rigid, one-size-fits-all tour. It's a personalized blueprint for your perfect Taiwan cycling journey.
Based on my years of experience both on the road and within the cycling industry, I'll help you craft an itinerary that matches your fitness level, your interests, and your style.
Love challenging climbs? I'll point you to the epic mountain roads the pros train on.Prefer a coastal cruise with amazing food? I know the best seafood spots and hidden beaches.
Want to immerse yourself in local culture? I’ll guide you to temples, markets, and communities that aren't in the guidebooks.
My goal is simple.
To handle all the stressful planning so you can focus on the pedal strokes, the stunning views, and the incredible feeling of discovery. I’ll provide you with a route that’s not only safe and efficient but also filled with the authentic charm that makes this island so special.
This journey, I promise you, will be worth every penny.
It’s more than just a vacation. It's an experience that will stay with you long after you've returned home.
