About me

I’m Joyce, self proclaimed Bubble Tea & Noodle Queen! I am Taiwanese Canadian and live in Vancouver, BC. My two favourite things to do are eating and traveling the world. I spend months researching destinations and have endless spreadsheets with travel itineraries. I first began creating these detailed itineraries when I was living in Adelaide, South Australia in 2015. I had planned on starting a blog then, but life got busy and I put it on the back-burner. From 2015-2017, I worked for a destination marketing organization and was eating at 135+ restaurants in a year. I decided to start documenting my food adventures in 2016 and this birthed Monkey Eats World on Instagram! However, it wasn’t until a worldwide pandemic happened that I finally found the time to start the blog.

My goal is to help others plan their travel and food adventures through this blog. It’s not the best time to plan travel, but I also wanted to share the beauty of destinations I’ve explored. I love sharing my travel recommendations, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
