Long Long is my name, and I'm the Taroko owner of Man na hostel.  I have worked as a tour guide in Bali, a karaoke singer in Phuket, and a wedding photographer in Taipei, but now I've decided to come home to my native village to care for my family and natural environment. I feel that the hostel will allow me to assist the local Taroko community, including its many orphaned children. My hope is that visitors who stay here will come away from their experience understanding the issues of the indigenous community and the ongoing struggle to preserve our native lands.

I speak English, Mandarin, and Taroko, the latter of which I can teach you when you come. I am single but love to make platonic friends with foreigners and Taiwanese alike.  After your stay at Man na, you wil become part of the family! (This includes a traditional wooden Taroko keychain.)

   The reason for my returning home is because of my family. My granny is getting older and the house needs a man like me to take care of. At the beginning, my family and I had to get used to each other; later things got along pretty well. As I got plans about my hometown, I changed it into homestay for visitors. I prepare bed, breakfast, and dinner for them and have found the pleasure in entertaining guests.

   So far I've been trying to share my life in the hometown with other people to havethem know more about the place. I do this not for profiting purposes like making money from tourists, but the idea to contribute something meaningful in my life. I admit that there are times I feel tired and can't go on, but when my friends say how miraculous it has been to make such a big change, I know it's worth everything. There is still a lot to be changed even with little money to spare, but I'll stick to it as long as my friends support my thoughts.

   Besides entertaining guests and the house cleaning, I like singing, watching Discovering Travel & Living channel on TV, drawing, cooking, making desserts, playing the piano and the guitar, bartending, sewing, wood carving, and so on. Looking back on my life in the past six years, I served as a tour guide in Thailand, Phucket, Pattaya, Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Indonesia, Jakarta, Bali, the Phillippines, Manila, Cebu, and Palau. With so much experience in tourism, I'm sure I'll be doing fine meeting you in my hometown. If you're looking forward a fabulous natural environment and hospitable hosts and hostesses, this will be the right place for you. Take a few days off to relax yourself, you will find it worth much staying here. Of course, I would love to travel alone in Brazil, Spain, America, Canada, Italy, and so forth if I have the chance in the future.
