Taiwan is a beautiful place; however, as a person who has lived 2 and a half years of my life in Taichung, the middle of Taiwan, I feel that I need to give tips and ideas to those who would like to visit this dear island and this great city. So, in this I'll be...
I’m JONNY
“THERE ARE NO BAD PICTURES; THAT’S JUST HOW YOUR FACE LOOKS SOMETIMES.” – ABRAHAM LINCOLN
I am the person on the left of the picture.
I also have my more “professional” blog called Mr Jonathan Jones where I talk more about analytics, tracking, Google Data Studio, and Search Engine Optimisation.
This is more of my personal blog where I’ll talk about my travels and more personal matters.
So who am I?
I’m a half British & half Taiwanese person living in London and I like to travel and have some ambitious travel goals for 2020. I created this blog a while back when blogging seemed to be the cool thing to do in 2010. However, time and work have got in the way, hence I’ve not been able to blog as much as I’ve wanted to blog.
Here’s hoping that will change in 2020 and beyond. I’ll be travelling quite a bit this year, so I’ll hopefully have a lot of interesting posts up on this site.
Gallery & Travels
I will be travelling and taking pictures quite a bit in 2020, so below you’ll be able to see the pictures I’m sharing and also see all the trips that I’ll be going on and that I’ve been on.
A Couple of Days in Berlin
I'll be working for Forbes in the new year, officially starting on the 11th of February, 2020. I am really excited about the role, and what it will entail. In light of my new job, my soon to be new employer flew me out to Berlin for the Berlin 30 under 30 event and to...
White Water Rafting in London (Lee Valley) Review
I went white water rafting at the Lee Valley White Water Centre as part of a group for my friend's birthday. I was rather nervous about doing this as I had never done white water rafting in my life. The Experience The experience and professionalism of the staff was...
Never live with a live in Landlord
I'm actually fuming at the moment. I love when I can write a post on here that comes from the heart and soul. So I live with a live in landlord or a resident landlord and it has been an utter nightmare to live in this place. I mean the house is nice, my room is nice...
Wandering Around London
Living in London can be amazing at times - especially if you live in Zone 1, where you can conveniently walk to locations that are full of joy and happiness. Today I went on a little wander around the city after having gone to the gym for around an hour and a half....
A Trip To SanYi, Miaoli (Taiwan)
March 5th, 2012 - I went to a place in Taiwan called SanYi in Miaoli County. According to Wikipedia it's a rural township located close to mountains. I went to SanYi to climb a beautiful mountain and destination. Along the way there were paddy fields and greenery...
Fitness & Health
I’ll be taking my fitness in 2020 very seriously. Below are all of my latest blog posts on where I am with my fitness and the point of which I’d like to get to. I’ll be doing triathlons, half marathons and short distance runs throughout the year, so I am quite excited about what I have coming up.
Royal Parks Half Marathon – 2h12m
I did the Royal Parks Half Marathon - with last minute preparations - as I had not done any sort training whatsoever for a run of this distance - though I did do Tough Mudder a couple weeks before this, so that was the only training I had. I was basically filling in...
Tough Mudder 2019
From getting zapped to dunking your entire body into freezing cold water, Tough Mudder this year was amazing. This was my second time doing Tough Mudder as I had done Tough Mudder, 2014 - one of the first Tough Mudder events held in London (none of the events are...
Tough Mudder 2014
Tough Mudder: a 12 mile obstacle/assault course that I had just completed yesterday with a bunch of other people I went with. It was utterly brutal with obstacle after obstacle putting your mental thought to work as to whether you can continue or not. Or in...
Weight timeline from 16th of December to now
This post was meant to be all about my fitness and health; however, I've had to shift this towards a more distracting matter. It's to do with living in a house share. I have mentioned this issue in specifics in an article entitled "5 Reasons Why I Hate House Sharing"...
New fitness routine at the gym + I now weigh 72kg (wtf!)
That's right ladies and gents. I now have a fitness routine that I'll be doing every time I attend the gym, which will be around 3 - 4 days a week. But before I get into that, I'd like to first mark my weight in this blog post. I now weigh around 72kgs, which is kind...
Balaam Leisure Centre – I’m now a gym goer!
I’m officially a gym goer now. I signed up to a gym that is very local and is only 7 minutes walking distance from where I live. Last week I had a tour of the place and I pretty much liked it from the start. It’s funny as I did a Google search for this gym and there...
