Pigeon's Foreign Service

Pigeon's Foreign Service

I moved to Taiwan, made every mistake there is, and took notes. Now the notes are for you. Whether you're visiting for a week or staying for good, pick what you need and tell me a little more.

🚧 Prices are placeholders while I work them out. Ask and we'll figure it out together.
  1. Fill in the short form and tell me what you need.
  2. I reply within a day with a plan and a price.
  3. We meet up, hop on a call, or I just get it done.
