Hi guys! I was raised in Xizhi/Taipei, and had moved to Bellevue as a high school freshman. TSA had totally brightened up my first year of college. I joined TSA because I get to make new friends and meet people with the same passion. We love Taiwan and we show people the cuteness of this wonderful land. Hope next year can be as fun!

Hello there. Joining TSA could be one of the coolest ideas in my life. I was born in Taiwan, but left there when I was ten, and TSA makes me feel “Taiwanese” again. Also TSA is the family that could help you through your campus life. Come talk to us at any time!
Hi! I moved to Seattle when I was 2, but I go back to Taiwan whenever I have the chance. I joined TSA because I love the community within TSA. It feels like family. In addition, I love the delicious food Taiwan has to offer, especially xiao long bao and mango shaved ice.
