About
Me (foolishly) trying to argue with a snake.
Matt-Gibson.org is the online writing and photography portfolio, and blog, of Matt Gibson. That's me.
In 2004, two years after graduating from the University of Victoria, Canada, with an Honors Degree in Sociology and a minor in Professional Writing, I moved to Tainan, Taiwan, where I've lived ever since, save for an 8-month hiatus in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala. During my time abroad I've learned to speak conversational Mandarin Chinese and basic Spanish.
In 2005 I founded the popular Taiwan-wide expatriate publication, Xpat Magazine, which I managed and edited until I sold it in early 2008. While running Xpat I also submitted to various local and international publications.
I currently teach writing and work as an editor at National Cheng Kung University, am a columnist at TransitionsAbroad.com, and submit articles and photography to various publications.
I currently focus on adventure sports and travel writing. Samples of my published work can be found here, and my photography portfolio can be seen here.
I'm available for assignment. Inquiries regarding assignments can be sent to xpatmatt (at) gmail (dot) com or you can use the contact form at the bottom of this page.
I'm a travel writer and photographer currently based in Tainan, Taiwan where I founded and edited Xpat Magazine, one of Taiwan's largest and longest-running expatriate periodicals. My writing and photography has been published in various print and online publications including Taiwan Today, the Taiwan Fun Magazine Group, and TransitionsAbroad.com. I speak English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese (to varying degrees) and am available for assignment. I can be reached through the form on the contact page of this website, or at xpatmatt (at) gmail.com.
