Life is Made for Good Journeys
As the saying goes, the journey is just as important as the destination.
But what actually, makes a journey worth the while?
Often times during our journeys, we are caught up with unexpected hiccups - be it misplacing our passport, having to face the wrath of messy cables or encountering the dreaded incident of a water bottle leakage that ends up destroying our gadgets and important documents.
We strongly believe that journeys should be hassle-free.

Hey there, I'm Jo On, founder and Chief Exploration Officer at Goodtabi.
Goodtabi, literally translated as (yep,you guessed it) Good Journeys, is an extension of a personal problem that stemmed from an unhappy journey back in 2013 when I was travelling along the countryside of Yilan, Taiwan.
It was during then when a coffee bottle I had brought along with me during the trip decided to take a leak and damaged everything I had inside my backpack - including my camera - a tool that I carry with me everywhere I travel to document the many great memories a good journey can offer.

This incident sparked a bigger mission within myself - in which journeys should be experienced comfortably and positively. Not just for myself, but for everyone.
Sincerely,
Jo
