I loved Hualien. I met some amazing backpackers at my hostel, befriended a Taiwanese person that will now visit me this year and the scenary was increadible. Without a doubt my favorite city in my whole 1-month trip!

You are so lucky to be invited to the local's home and the amazing native ceremony. They are experiences that money can't buy. Taiwan is so unique in so many aspects.

The east coast of Taiwan is simply amazing

Definitely adding that hike and the sea kayaking to my list for the next Taiwan visit. Great to have reasons to go back!

Amazing country and scenery! 💙💚💙

No doubt about it, Hualien is perfect place for my retirement.

I was born in Taiwan and I have never seen any aboriginal festival. You were so lucky!

Very beautifully vlogged. I really love how you guys go into a certain depth about what you see and experience. The story about the locals, the aborigines. This is what culture, life, community and being is all about. We all have a history, a path, and share the same root of evolution. I really felt as if I was there with everything. You guys should definitely do this for the rest of your lives. Incredible vlogging!

The couple driving you guys with pickup truck are Taiwanese couple, not Chinese.

17.11 damn, damian looks like a walking advertisement for hair products. grand video as usual.❤️

Paddy every time I watch your videos, I’m always shocked at how you’re able to walk long distance and hike in Chucks. My shins would be on fire, and I would have shin splints for days😂😂. Cheers to the dope episode.

Paddy !!! great filming .... beautiful episode ... man that hike had my nuts swirling up in my stomach just watching it felt like i was on that bloody cliff .... so amazing though ... thanks for doing what you do

Looks like such a beautiful area! Nice to see the tribal aspect of Taiwan as well too

Gorgeous place!

This episode is indeed epic. You guys were so lucky to be there for the Sakizaya ceremony. Feels like there are so much content you could have had two episodes.

I’d love to try backpacking beautiful Taiwan from one tip to the other ☺️ it’s so beautiful!

Beautiful festival and such a lovely story! How amazing to keep up the practice of giving thanks for sanctuary. Very special that you shared this with us. Thank you!

poor damien, he's a good sport. everyone sees him funny

You know, Damian being part of a Taiwanese indigenous tribe isn’t as far fetched as you think. Taiwanese indigenous people are considered the origin of the Austronesian language/ethnic group. At some point a small group left the south of Taiwan on oceanfaring boats and ended up becoming the progenitor to the populations of the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pacific Islands, New Zealand Maori and beyond.

Taroko was absolutely stunning. I did the Baiyang trail after the zhuilu trail which was also nice. While the cliff outpost is not for the faint of the heart, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. But it's my favorite thing about Taiwan for sure! I'd love to do the pebble beach and kayaking next time!

24:27 made me so nervous from afar lol. That was an epic hike but stay away from ledges in 2020 please!!

How lucky you are! Having the chance to attend the Aboriginal tribe Festival! Great trip in Hualien! and your videos in Taiwan series are awesome!

What an amazing trail

You guys are so cute. Love this series! Thanks for letting more people know about Taiwan!

Another quality series! Cheers my dudes

You guys making such a great travel videos, Happy new year 2020 and have a nice & safe travels everywhere 🛫

Paddy...when you tripped at 27:00 :O Heart in my mouth haha. Amazing, though, thanks for sharing.

Such a good episode, I love this channel so much for the raw travel and real moments, great way of telling the story to make me feel like im really there, and cool, easy going, well traveled people for both the og budgeteers crew and/or with Damiaan. Love yals videos!

Such a fun and interesting video! Hualien is a must visit in Taiwan for sure and I got to know many new sides of it through this video. So great job guys! Wanna go back there! Haha

Always love your adventures 🤗🤗

Taiwanese are not equal to Chinese，Taiwan and China are two countries. Do not confuse, please correct it, thank you ~

What a Blast!!!!! Except you guys had me really scared when you were fooling around up there on those cliffs!

Guys, you're experienced travelers and all this stuff. But please don't do selfies on the edge of a cliff. Because screen might have trick you into bending too far! Be safe, Budgeteers 🌄

I'm blown away by the parallels with Indigenous people in the Americas. Also, that this part of Taiwan seems to resemble the Canadian and American West with Indigenous influence.

I'm so honered to be here. Well, frankly speaking, I first came here for the sake of learning English, as I was interested to see my country "Morocco" by an european eyes, and I ended up loving this lovely stunning channel made by an amazing guys! CHEERS 🍻

Haha what an amazing trip!! Jason is the man!!

Wow guys that looked amazing. I am very jealous i might get there at some point in my life. Yet again a brilliant video Love from Scotland💙

Nice you brought out these video's, im going to taiwan in 4 days. I just dont see the link from the blog for the permit. Cheers

Amazing video in the mountain.. It’s on my bucket list now. Appreciate your videos everywhere you travel to share .

Hualien looks good.

Awesome hike!

I​ imagine Damien in​ Pacific ocean tribe, Tonga, Vanuatu for​ examples.

The cliff hike reminds me of mount Hua in china. It's a very similar drop off except you're walking on two planks of wood with heavy traffic coming from both directions. Absolutely crazy.

Where is all the destination in this episode (hualien)

hey guys great episode, great new series. One recommendation maybe for the next one. Could you show a map to get an impression where you are at the moment or where you travel. thanks keep on traveling!

謝謝分享台灣;數值順利，平安喜樂!

Such beautiful waterfalls and rivers. Water is amazing clear and blue! Whats the name of the waterfalls? Must visit and swim in the river when i visit Hualien next march. Great videos guys! 👍👍👍

Hualien looks amazing! Thanks for this very tasteful video

The real question is When are you announcing daamien as a full time budgeteer? 🤔

Where is that cool swimming hole you went to at the fishery? That looked so fun!

Perhaps, you guys could start including the prices for the activities, hotels, food, etc for each trip. I think it’ll be very helpful for all of us considering a trip in the nearby future!

OMG that trail was so scary looking!!!

loves this video!! please i want the location of the waterfall it looks amazing please you didnt put it in the description please !! keep up the good work!

Dam I was on edge on the cliff just watching

18:24 I thought the man in the middle had a very tiny waist. After a few seconds I realized that was the pattern on his vest XD

Shit guys, the hike was scrary a.f. even when i was watching the hight looked so scary 😧 But glad you made it and shared it with us, thanks guys for another fine third episode of this series 🙏🍻

OMG PADDY !!! stop filming with your left hand !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 26:50 you nearly killed me

That trail sort of reminds me of the Eagle Creek Trail in Oregon with the deep river gorge and mountainous terrain. Certainly not as high up but definitely some cliffs.

Paddy!!! The beers are really helping you grow your big tummy!!! LOL!

how deep is that water ...wow how clear...

Thx for visiting and sharing❤️

Thank you for sharing this experience with the aboriginal tribes of Taiwan. It's a miracle that these traditions have survived until now after more than 350 years of efforts by colonial powers to eradicate them. This country-island belongs to a S-shaped series of archipelagos that allowed ancient sea nomads from South-East Asia and the Pacific to sail and trade north- and southward.

got notified..watched the video..was notified twice more during..youtube overcompensation!

Amazing and incredible trail.

IM HAPPY!!!!!

Great video👍

Great job guys your amazing

hi from sri lanka

Can you please share the link how to get the permit for the trail?

What's the name of song playing in background ?

oh ur half Filipino bro. nice

Bon appetit: 請慢用. Said by the host or server.

@the budgeteers... I would love to join y'all on the next adventure..

really impressive you guys

Do you like it here more than mainland China or Hong Kong?

Nice Video

Hey Budgeteers, how likely is it that you can print your logo on a L Female muscle tee? I am preparing for a spring trip to Costa Rica with my best friend and my husband, and the trip won't be complete without this!

台灣鹽酥雞👍

Which month did you guys go?

location of river stream?

is the ymca still inside the park

Almost first!

Hey guys ! Awesome vid as always! Im currently in Kaoshiung and will soon go to Hualien, and i was wondering if you could tell me the location of the first place you've been in the video, the river where you guys are swimming in. I'd love to go there. Thanks :)

YEEEE BOI

I do love Damiaan's voiceovers. His, I have a cold but will muscle through this, voice sounds very sexy.

Been enjoying series 2-4. I'm curious what editing software you're using.

error message，Japan preserves Taiwanese culture，It was the China troops who retreated to Taiwan that killed the aborigines

How far was the hike up the trail an how long did it take you to walk it? AMAZING!

Jimmy uso Jay uso Damien uso 😍♥️

I don't know if you was just playing up for the camera there Paddy but if not I think you took a few too many risks on that "trail", as you demonstrated it wasn't exactly built on granite! Entertaining as always but bloody hell, I can't remember the beginning of the video because my head is in bits and stomach is still in knots after those cliff scenes.... I am scared of heights if you hadn't of guessed :)

What is the hostel called with Jason?

What’s the info for the trail?

Yo, did Alex told you about Jason before? :D

wow😋👍👍👍👏

Hualien, not Walien! You pronounce the H.

Red hot chili peper

😍😍😍

Taiwanese:)

dude.... being tribal looks awesome! I wanna burn stuff and drink and yell my lungs out too! Anyone got a vacancy in their tribe? Beaches are a +

4:20 Chinese couple? YOU ARE IN TAIWAN THERE'S JUST TAIWANESE COUPLE
