Insider spoke to seven expats in Taiwan about what it s been like living there, both before and during the pandemic.

Maria José Cubero had never set foot in Asia before she moved to Taiwan in 2016.
Her husband got a job at a Taiwanese airline after having trouble finding work in their home country of Costa Rica, and she and her six-year-old son followed him to the tiny East Asian island to start a new life.
