International Exchange

My name is Aldren Yabut, a student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Shidler College of Business, excited to share my journey abroad at National Taiwan University for the Spring 2026 through the Mānoa International Exchange (MIX) program. 

This blog will document my full experience, of what it is like to exchange in Taiwan. It will include a series of 10 blog posts highlighting different aspects of my exchange journey, from academics and culture to travel and personal growth. I’ll also share 10 tips for fellow students interested in studying abroad in Taiwan, with the hope of offering guidance, inspiration, and a glimpse into what an international semester can truly offer.
