Matt Gibson

Matt Gibson is a Canadian adventure travel writer, photographer, and blogger. When he lived in Canada Matt was an incessant snowboarder, but since he now lives in Taiwan where there is remarkably little snow, he has taken up surfing. Since he lives in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Taiwan's oldest city where nobody speaks English, he has taken up speaking broken Chinese with an accent that makes his neighbors laugh. When he is not amusing he neighbors or falling into the ocean, Matt works as an editor and teacher at National Cheng Kung University, writes a travel column for Transitions Abroad, and contributes to any publication that will pay him a decent price, as well as a few that won’t. Matt answers readers questions about travel and living in Taiwan in a Q&A column on his website, Matt-Gibson.org, which also is a good place to visit if you want to read more of his writing.
