Hello there, welcome to my world! I’m Annie Chen, a twin born on the beautiful island of Taiwan, and I have an insatiable passion for travel. This journey began when I left my hometown to study abroad in Sweden, and it has continued ever since.
In my family, there are three siblings – myself, my twin Bonnie, and a younger sister Cathy. All three of us inherited the “wanderlust gene” from our parents, and we have pursued our dreams across three different countries.
Over the past five years, I’ve lived in Sweden, Ireland, and England. Just last year, I settled in Europe with my husband Xiao. However, my love for travel hasn’t waned; it’s only grown stronger.
I thrive on the excitement of exploring new destinations, capturing beautiful moments, and meeting people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I’m passionate about indulging in local cuisine (#travelforfood), seeking out adventurous experiences, and sharing it all with you.
I’m a romantic at heart, and my interests include photography, music, interior design, graphic design, doodling, and stationery. Traveling allows me to experience facets of these interests, making every journey a unique adventure. It’s like chasing the White Rabbit with Alice, embarking on a magical journey filled with unexpected and extraordinary moments.
Today, there’s nothing that brings me more joy than communicating with people from different countries, photographing the places I’ve always dreamed of visiting and creating content to share with you. I want to inspire you to discover your passion and pursue it with excitement, just as I have with travel.
Whether you’re a wanderer or a wonderer, you’ve come to the right place! I’ll be sharing travel guides for your dream destinations and tips to enhance your Instagram feed. There are plenty of free resources available here because my aim with Annieswanderland.com is to empower like-minded individuals to live the life they’ve always dreamed of.
Now, I invite you to join me in my wanderland and hope you thoroughly enjoy your time here!
哈囉，我是Annie，土生土長的台灣人，我是一個追夢者、旅行者、是學生、也是創業家。2014年我離開了寶島台灣，帶著兩個大行囊隻身來到了瑞典，從那一年起，我彷彿進入了一趟奇妙的旅程，而這個旅程，沒有終點，每一個決定彷彿又像引領我往更遠更美的世界。到今天為止，我已經走過20幾個國家。
聽說，愛旅行這個基因是會遺傳的，我想，我們家三姐妹都遺傳了我爸媽愛探險的精神。我是一個雙胞胎，和我同年紀的妹妹目前在日本唸書，而小我兩歲的小妹妹在台灣，我們各自追逐夢想，和彼此分享在各地的所見所聞。
在過去的五年裡，我曾經在瑞典、愛爾蘭、英格蘭旅居過，在去年，終於和在異地相戀的老公，定居在歐洲的一個美麗小城市。但愛旅行的心，卻沒有因婚姻而消滅，只是現在不再是一個人旅行了，多了一位一起享受生活、探索世界的攝影師兼司機 !
對於愛攝影的我來說，旅行，是一件幸福也令我感到興奮的事。以前，自己喜歡拿著相機或手機這裡拍拍、那裡拍拍，把當地最美麗的風景、美食、人文拍下來，就為了分享給在台灣的家人。現在，更喜歡將這些照片分享在社群媒體上，分享給所有愛旅行的朋友！
我是一個浪漫主義者。從小的作文“長大後你要當什麼？”總是一變再變，我想當鋼琴家、室內設計師、攝影師、美編設計師、畫家…，雖然現在沒有任何一個願望達成，但每一次的旅行，都讓我體驗到這些職業的一小部分， 這就是我愛上旅行的原因吧！
經營Instagram許久，認識了很多網友，在大家不斷的鼓勵之下，我終於創立了自己的部落格，主要是希望能夠擁有一個獨立的平台，分享一些旅遊攻略、日常生活、以及經營Instagram的小技巧給有興趣的朋友。在這裡，你可以找到許多免費的資源，不論是修圖、調色濾鏡、有關社群的經營等等，都是來自我個人長時間的觀察、並記錄下來的。
追夢很辛苦，但辛苦的很快樂，我只希望自己所撰寫的文章能讓每個人都能體驗這份快樂！如果你想得到最新最夯的文章，歡迎留下Email訂閱我的部落格，或是在網站最上角，加我的Line為好友吧！
FAQ
How many countries have you visited so far?
To date, I’ve had the privilege of exploring over 20 beautiful countries.
What camera do you use for your Instagram photos?
I used to capture my Instagram photos with a Canon DSLR (60D) that I purchased during my college years, thinking it would be my ideal travel companion. However, in recent days, I’ve come to realize that all I need is a compact and small smartphone. I’ve taken 90% of my photos with an iPhone X, while the remaining 10% were shot with a Canon 60D or Sony α7R camera.
How do you edit your photos?
I edit my photos using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and I also incorporate various other apps, which you can discover more about in my blog posts.
