Bearded heartthrob falls for Tainan — hidden alleys bring simple, beautiful Danish-style hygge

Last updated 2026-09-24 — Diego was born in Kuwait and moved to Denmark with his family at the age of 14. Having traveled to over 40 countries, he never expected to stay in Tainan for four years. While most people dream of moving to Denmark, he fell in love with Taiwan. “It gave me a reborn feeling,” Diego said when asked why. He first came to Taiwan as an exchange student at National Taiwan University. “Strangely enough, my long-standing digestive issues completely disappeared, but they came back once I returned to Denmark.”
