Nice to see another African American man NOT afraid to live internationally. TOO Many in our community are too caught up in being scared of the "unknown". SMH. My mantra...Life is NOT a dress rehearsal
There’s a great channel named “the black experience japan” that is full of interviews and insight on living in Asia. You should for sure check it out if you haven’t already
Oh my goodness, this one is definetly my dream apartment! Darius is such a lucky man, and I'm so happy for him, living in that amazing place ♡
I think the price is so good, since I've seen some other places in $12000 - 20000 only one room and without all the benefits of Darius'
I still think its one of the best places I have seen! You are right though it can get expensive up here in Taipei to the point I am looking at other cities to move to these days!
That is pretty cheap for a apartment rent in Taipei.. Relative to other location in Taipei is more expensive for a rent . A less 12.000$ TWD UP .. IN tainan apartment rent a month like 15.000$ . One kitchen. 4 bedroom . 1 living room 2 bathroom with balcony..so This is quite cheap rent in Tainan ..
Well technically this is in New Taipei City haha I think its a expensive if you live alone like Darius but I hope I can find a nice balcony like this one day! Or maybe I should move to Tainan in the next year or so haha
i like Darius' energy
He does have a good vibe going! I just added his Instagram under the video if you want to go find more of his energy
Awesome space. I was a bit shocked how under equipped and expensive other apartments are. But this one is perfect.
I have thought the same thing, this apartment has been one of the pleasant I've seen. Surprisingly, he actually found it on Craigslist haha
Wow! Darius' apartment is really cool.
It's good to see the other side of Taiwan in this video.
Amben Magtalas he for sure has a cool place !
$600 for this magical apt w/everything included?! First one I've seen with a bathtub, balcony, patio, washer/dryer in unit, and nicely sized kitchen! Is there a listing link for this building?
There isn't a link that I know of, just a landlord renting it out privately. This was one of the better places I have seen around though, the bathtub and balcony surprised me as well!
Man, your friend's apartment is just so cool and I think it's because all those cool plants, love the vibe it has
He is indeed my plant role model! 🌵🌿
@@Travelingjoe I can tell, I also live in Taipei but i find so difficult to keep my indoor plants alive haha
This apartment would work for me. Sadly I am comparing it to condos in Thailand that are much more modern and with beach views for much less. I do like the bathtub feature. Taipei would work for me.
NTD 19000 IS CHEAP RENTAL AT NEW TAIPEI CITY FOR 1 ROOM APARTMENT WITH BALCONY, SMALL KITCHEN, AWAY FROM CITY. GOOD LOCATION
Yes I think this apartment is one of the best I have seen in New Taipei or Taipei!
Wow, what a nice apartment. Either Darius or the landlord has a sense of style. I mean, IKEA is not high-end, but it's good to see an apt. that doesn't have weird mismatched furniture. (If I lived there, though, I'd probably glue some googly eyes over that Amy Winehouse poster.)
For sure its Darius with the style! 😁

Hey, great video and apartment. Through what website or estate agent did Darius find his apartment?
Sakura Voyage hello! Darius actually found his apartment through craigslist strangely enough! What I recommend is using one of the several Facebook groups dedicated to foreigners finding housing in Taiwan. There is also a website called 591.com which is a common way to come across apartments and housing. Good luck house hunting!
@@Travelingjoe Craigslist? Wow that's a bold move haha - you never know what you'll find on there. Thank you very much for the information!
Sakura Voyage Yea! Who knew Craigslist had made it to Taiwan. No worries always happy to talk travel!
Wow! Darius' apartment is really cool.
It's good to see the other side of Taiwan in this video.
Darius always finds the best apartments, I think he has natural apartment hunting skills haha
NT19k seems like a good price for this apartment but for the average single person working in Taiwan it might be a bit much for one to pay, no? I was told teaching English at a cram school pays about NT$50k a month, is that right?
I think 50k-60k I would guesstimate is average for part time English teachers here in Taipei. It could be a big portion of your income for sure.. great for couples! Sadly apartments in Taipei are more expensive than other cities in Taiwan. I would try to find something between 10k-15k but even then you will have to search for a while before finding something good~
Wow, this apartment is really nice. Rent is so cheap!!!!
It is one of the nicer ones I have seen in Taiwan thats for sure!
Is this apartment available from May 2023
Not sure, it’s an independent landlord~
how did you geet that apartment? i mean...where? I might move to Taipei next year and Im very interested in an apartment like that specialy for that price...dont seem to find anything like it on internet
Daniel Dominguez I must admit I think this is a rare find, Darius actually found it on Craigslist oddly enough. I usually don’t see too many great ones on Craigslist but every now and then you might. Usually people use 591.com or one of the several renting in Taipei Facebook groups. Good luck on your home search!
@@Travelingjoe thanks for the help!
I miss Taiwan so much man..with how America is handling covid I don't think I will be able to go back anytime soon. through your videos I can kinda quench the longing I feel sometimes. nice video bro
Taiwan is a good place to be these days it seems, hopefully they open it back up so you can come back!
I like the plants hanging
The plants really give his place life!
yo bro i need to asking you something how much cost a rent in apartment in taiwan
That really all depends on what city you decide to live in and if you want to live alone or with roommates. You should join some of the Taiwan rental groups on FB to see real listings, it has been really helpful for me!
Great apartment, but Yonghe is pretty much in the middle of Nowhere. I used to pass by there when I was teaching at Fu Jen University. What keeps you there?
I am surprised to hear that Yonghe is in the middle of nowhere!? This apartment is only one metro station away from Guting station and probably about a 15 minute metro ride to the city center... in general I don't think its all that bad, cheaper housing! haha Although I have the past year returned to Taipei City~
Great find--that apartment has everything! So many times I've been apartment hunting in Taiwan (Taoyuan) and there always seems to be at least one of these drawbacks to each place: No kitchen; no laundry; no balcony; no or ugly furniture; dirty/moldy; little natural light; no trash service; etc. You even got a bathtub, and separate balconies for drying clothes and just relaxing.
I'm curious how long it took Darius to find this place, and how he found it (through friend, agent, 591, FB, posted street ad?). Thanks for posting.
I know how you feel! I am once again apartment hunting however not having much luck finding something. This apartment is still to this day one of the best apartments I have seen, so spacious! Darius actually found this apartment through craigslist oddly enough! He is the only person I know who has successfully used craigslist in Taiwan!
Hello can give me the name of ur apartment.it really amazing 🤩 I will move to Taiwan next two months.your apartment is really my dream room
Hey there! This is just kinda an independent apartment not a high rise so there is no name. By the way, Darius found his place from Craigslist surprisingly enough. Maybe you can find it there once again~!
What a gorgeous appartement !! Where did you find ? Any recommendation for websites ? Do you know if at the moment it's for rent ? I'm sooo interested
The go to apartment hunting website is called 591.com but its in Chinese but you can use the google translate tool which is what I do. Also a much easier option is joining several Facebook groups that cater to apartment seekers in Taiwan. Those are sometimes easier because it's mostly an expat/exchange student audience within those groups. For my friend's apartment in this video he actually found it on craigslist... which is funny and he is the only one I know of who has done that 😆 I guess craigslist is worth a shot!
19,000NTD a month is too much? In London, that gets you a box
Yea a lot of people will think your crazy for paying up around the 20,000 mark 😬 Although you can find nice places by doing so! I have done it in the past, thankfully i'm down towards 13,000 these days haha
Amy Winehouse fan? Cool 👍. Please put fruit trees on h the balcony. Q
I will pass on the recommendation!
Wow is apartment was amazing I love the plants 🪴 and I love how he had the umbrella 🌂 hanging on the door
I like the plants as well! A nice design, I need to learn from Darius about how to take care of so many plants haha
Hi, did this apartment come with furnishings?
Yes this one did! I would say that the majority of places I have seen in Taiwan come with furniture luckily
Does Darius have a TH-cam channel?
He doesn’t sadly! However he has an Instagram, you can check it out in the description~
In what building does Darius live in? I wanna find an apartment similar to his and maybe his building has an apartment available
Hi! I also want to find a place like this! It's actually not a large apartment building but instead a small block of flats near 頂溪 station. I believe it's about a three story building or so. You could always sublet the apartment for the summer if you liked to try it out!
Cute apartment. Especially love the tub.
Tubs are always a great find! I hope my next place has one haha
Interesting! informative! thanks
Thank you as well!
✌🏾
Very nice. Would like to have seen the big windows in the living room. What does 19,000 translate to in U.S. dolars? Thank u.
Katherine Wagoner I loved the windows/balcony there! 19000TWD is around $640 USD
@@Travelingjoe Wow! Such a deal! Thanku :))
Katherine Wagoner will you be moving to Taiwan ?
@@Travelingjoe My son is living there now and I plan to join him before long. Great adventure. We will need a 2 bedroom. Thank u for ur interest.
Love this channel ! Does he have a channel too !
Sadly he does not! I will try to convince him though 😁
However! You can find him on instagram (link in video description)~
19000 NT or USD
NT
How much one month did u pay ? ☺️
Hi there! This apartment was priced at 19,000TWD per month 😁
@@Travelingjoe I have rent to but too small sorry my poor English thank you I’m from India 👍🏻
@@itsmelelele5130 No worries! Hello to India!
Enjoy your vlog! Good job!
Thank you very much!
hey there! darius got a nice flat! would you share his channel and/or IG handle? ty ❣
Soraya Lutangu good idea ! I’ll ask him if that’s okay
@@Travelingjoe thanks dear, i am just eying the perspective of going back to Taiwan when the situation improve, and would love to connect with other afro-descending people. have a nice day!
@@SxLxB Hey! I just added Darius' Instagram as the first link under the video! Hope it helps Thanks for the suggestion.
You might enjoy the channel 'Black Experience Japan' not sure if you have heard of it. It's not completely about Japan but also many other countries. They feature black voices in Asia and give super useful and interesting information in their interviews. Hope you make it back to Taiwan!

@@Travelingjoe hi there, you're so nice for sharing an additional channel, thank you! i just got familiar with it a few weeks ago and i really appreciate the content! also, thank you for sharing your friend's handle, lovely.
i am also following this channel, love the vibe and heavily relate to the tone th-cam.com/channels/gIw1ct7zkdXY65gBCXfWAQ.html
y'all youtubers are inspiring, if i ever cross the line and start sharing this way as well, i will make sure to send it your way. i hope you are safe and i guess talk soonish! x
@@SxLxB Sure it's an awesome channel and cool a Seoul youtuber! I will check her out more once they open up travel and I can go visit Korea. Only a few hours away and such a great travel destination.
You should start sharing your journey! Even before you come to Taiwan it would be cool. Then people thinking about doing the same thing could learn from you.
Tbh id love this place too
This is still probably one of the nicest ones I have seen around Taipei for sure
@@Travelingjoe i happen to be looking for a room for rent do u know if i can get more info if this room is for rent
@@radtwelve I am also house hunting these days so first off i'll say good luck! Darius has sadly moved out and the landlord from what I know isn't currently renting it out.
I will say he did find this apartment on Craigslist oddly enough, so if you are tired of checking out 591 I suppose you could give Craigslist a try~
@@Travelingjoe thanks a lot for the update. People kerp telling me to search on Facebook too but no luck thus far. And tbh most units look gloomy and liveless. I was surprised to have found this video of how your buddy had turned the house so homey
I am in the same boat! I was thinking that perhaps because of the pandemic the market might be dead right now? Doesn't seem to be much that is worthwhile going around on Facebook or 591 these days.. hopefully it livens up soon! Wishing you luck in your search~
Reli nice
Shu C. Thank you!
