We Went on Bravo FM 91.3! Sharing Our Co-Living Vision on “Future Trends”(《趨勢大未來》)

At the beginning of 2026, we were pleasantly surprised to receive an invitation from Bravo FM 91.3 to appear as guests on the radio program “Future Trends.”
During the show, we shared our vision and hands-on experience in operating co-living spaces centered around international exchange.

After confirming the recording schedule and receiving the program outline, we quickly prepared for the session, hoping to take this opportunity to fully convey the ideas we value most to a wider audience.

Stepping Into the Studio: Sharing Our Vision with a Wider Audience

The day of our visit to the radio station arrived quickly. This time, our staff Jamie and Dai represented the team. Upon arrival, we were warmly and kindly welcomed by the station staff.

Shortly after, the program host, Mr. Li Dahua, also came to the meeting room in advance to speak with us. After learning that most of our team members are in their 20s and 30s, he generously shared valuable insights on team management and development, which we found truly inspiring.

During the recording, we introduced our team’s core philosophy:
At BORDERLESS HOUSE, we believe that a co-living environment centered around international exchange not only fosters cultural understanding, but also creates a community where people from diverse backgrounds can connect, learn from one another, and grow together. By living together and gaining a deeper understanding of each other, we can gradually break down stereotypes associated with different cultures and identities.

This philosophy guides every detail of what we do—from designing our shared living spaces, to organizing community activities, to cultivating a welcoming and inclusive living environment.

The recording process went very smoothly, and our team’s performance was well received by the host!
We also had the opportunity to further discuss how the strengths of our co-living model can be incorporated into our marketing strategies, allowing more people to understand this lifestyle and its value.

In addition, we had a meaningful and unexpected encounter with another guest, “The Mustard Seed Mission”, who was also there for recording.
Although our time was brief, we made the most of the opportunity to exchange experiences and insights from our respective fields. 

After the Interview: From Experience to Reflection

“Rooted in the local, truly global” — by grounding ourselves in local life and culture, we create authentic and meaningful international exchange with a human touch.

We deeply resonate with the meaning behind the phrase “the more local, the more global,” as mentioned by the host. For us, what truly attracts meaningful international exchange is not surface-level internationalization, but the authentic elements rooted in everyday life—genuine living culture, local ways of life, and warm, human-centered community connections.

For this reason, we believe that co-living serves as the intersection of “local × global.” When these elements naturally come together in shared living, people from different backgrounds are able to understand and connect with one another. In this way, international exchange becomes more than just a formality—it becomes a genuine experience woven into everyday life.

Through this interview experience, we gained a deeper understanding that there is a wide audience interested in international exchange and local connections.
It also prompted us to reflect on how, as a social enterprise, we can more effectively utilize our existing resources, bring people together, and drive initiatives that create a positive impact on society.

Borderless House Event | Beach Cleanup at Shalun Beach!

Hello everyone! Remember the plastic reduction takoyaki party held by BORDERLESS HOUSE last year at Share House Technology Building 2? We tasted delicious takoyaki made by our Japanese tenants and conveyed the crucial message of reducing plastic to protect our planet.

This year, we are bringing that passion to Shalun Beach, taking action to clean up the trash. Let’s join hands to create a cleaner, more beautiful future for our planet!

Come with BORDERLESS HOUSE to Shalun Beach in New Taipei!

On that sunny day, the sun shone brightly, and although the wind was quite strong, the cool air eased the heat. BORDERLESS HOUSE staff joined the tenants from Share House in picking up trash on the beach while enjoying the calmness of the ocean. To our surprise, we met another group of university students who were also there for the beach cleanup! This made the whole event even more vibrant. They were also amazed that BORDERLESS HOUSE is a co-living brand that focuses on cultural exchange! As our garbage bags filled up, the interactions among the tenants grew, strengthening their bonds.


Once the cleanup was over, everyone decided to head to Tamsui Old Street to relax, strolling along the riverside while enjoying food and shopping. The sunset created a beautiful backdrop, perfectly concluding this fulfilling day💗.

Borderless House Event | Explore Taiwan’s Hidden Trails: Sandiaoling Hike

The rich natural environment around Taipei provides a perfect setting for hiking. This time, we chose the Sandiaoling Trail, famed for its spectacular waterfalls.

More than 20 tenants from BORDERLESS HOUSE share houses joined this event, coming together to explore and bond through a shared love for nature. The hike allowed us to not only appreciate Taiwan’s stunning landscapes but also engage in meaningful cultural exchanges, making it a memorable experience for everyone living in a share house community.

Now, let’s begin our journey from Sandiaoling Station, and dive into the beauty of this ancient trail with its magnificent waterfalls and tranquil environment!

The Waterfall Journey: Hegu, Motian, and Pipa Cave Waterfalls

The first stop was Hegu Waterfall, standing 15 meters tall, gracefully flowing through the dense forest. It’s the only waterfall we couldn’t get close to, but an observation deck nearby provided a fantastic view.

Continuing along the trail for another 20 minutes, we arrived at Motian Waterfall. Taller and more dramatic than Hegu, Motian’s powerful stream crashes down like a curtain of silver. The pool and rocks at its base enhance its majestic feel. Some of our share house tenants took a break here, cooling off in the fresh waters, while others enjoyed capturing beautiful photos from the viewpoint.

We then ascended to our final stop, Pipa Cave Waterfall, perched at the highest point of the trail. Water cascades down from a cave in the cliffside, with the sound reverberating through the valley, creating a mystical atmosphere. We stayed for about an hour and a half, enjoying lunch and the tranquility. A group photo sealed the memory of this shared experience.

Let’s top off this unforgettable journey with shaved ice!

To top off the day, we indulged in shaved ice from a local shop near the station. Even though it was a dry season and the waterfalls weren’t at their fullest, the beauty and tranquility of Sandiaoling left us in awe. This hike allowed us to connect more deeply with Taiwan’s nature and brought BORDERLESS HOUSE tenants closer together. We’re already looking forward to the next adventure!

We are Social Business – BORDERLESS HOUSE

Do you know that Borderless House is a “Social Business”?

Perhaps I should have asked – Have you heard of Social Business? 

In general, it refers to a company or a business that tries to create value or impact society in a positive way by offering a service or a product that meets the needs or by presenting new solutions to challenges brought on by society.

And there are more and more people talking about it around the world, actually, you can also find some TED TALK videos talking about it too! 

Even though “Social Business” is a term that you should know, it may sound a little complicated. But don’t worry, let me clearly explain it in a simpler way below.

What is Social Business

The phrase ”Social Business” refers to a brand of entrepreneurship rooted in funding or implementing solutions to cultural, social, or environmental problems. 

Image credit: Devon Bunce/Digital Storytellers

Social Business seeks to maximize profits while maximizing benefits to society and the environment, and the profits are principally used to fund social programs.

The key traits and characteristics of Social Business

• The primary aim is to address a social problem
• It is financially self-sufficient
• It does not pay dividends to its owners
• It is guided by how its operations benefit the causes and communities of interest

What’s the difference between social business and regular business

Maximizing profits is not the primary goal of a social business as is with a traditional business – What sets a social business apart from a traditional business is that while the traditional business’s ultimate goal is to create wealth, the social business seeks to create lasting societal change.

What’s the difference between social business and non-profit organization

Unlike a non-profit, a social business is not dependent on donations or on private or public grants to survive, and to operate it is self-sustainable. While non-profit organizations where funds are spent only once on the field, funds in a social business are invested to increase and improve the business operations on the field on an indefinite basis.

Why is Social Business Important

Now, let’s go a little bit in-depth to see why social business is important, especially in our society and globally.

  • Social businesses have the potential to change society and the world.

As social business concentrates on developing, financially backing, and executing ideas that contribute to finding solutions for social, cultural, and environmental concerns, it can make a huge impact on our life, in a positive way – and that’s why social businesses are much-needed, considering the times that we’re living in. The vision of a social business is usually social well-being related and a broader idea to excel as a community.

So social business is also a business that gets everyone in the world involved. People say that change-makers are those who take creative actions to solve social problems for the good of all – and this is who we are.

‘Creator’ of Multicultural Society – BORDERLESS HOUSE

So, for Borderless House, the social problem that we aim to solve with our business is – Prejudice and Discrimination.

We aim to build relationships among people with different backgrounds, such as different nationalities, races, and religions, and gather them together to live under the same roof in our share houses.

There are not only benefits but also conflicts sometimes when living in a mixed-culture environment. However, by sharing thoughts and feelings from time to time with each other, people can build a strong relationship in which we can understand other cultures and perspectives deeply.

Creating such a connection is the greatest value of BORDERLESS HOUSE.

The goal of our business is to create a multicultural society where people can mutually understand each other’s background regardless of race or nationality, and without prejudice or discrimination.

Our Vision

As more and more foreigners are settling in Japan, and it is important that there are places where they can live in peace and harmony. We believe that this solution which gathers people from around the world to live in a share house together is essential in a multicultural society.

As a ‘creator’ of Multicultural Society, we hope to accelerate the creation of an ideal society and to provide more people with opportunities for international living experiences, we aim to keep expanding our business and keep offering and creating opportunities for In-depth international exchange.

Planting the seeds of world peace is our mission and we welcome you to be a part of BORDERLESS HOUSE.

 

Language Exchange|How should I prepare for Language Exchange and practice speaking?

Do you want to practice your speaking skills for free through “Language Exchange” and meet new foreign friends, but don’t know where to start preparing? Or have you tried “Language Exchange” before, but after encountering some difficulties in the process, and you just left it at that?

Then this article on language exchange prep will help you a lot!

What is Language Exchange?

Language Exchange is a reciprocal activity in which you practice the language that you are learning by chatting with a native speaker or someone who is fluent in that language. In addition, to quickly improve your speaking skills, you can also learn cultural knowledge not found in textbooks and make new friends, which is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

Am I a good candidate for language exchange?

When you want to practice a language through Language Exchange, here are some tips you can check to see if you are a good candidate.

1) What is your purpose? Do you really want to practice the language? Or do you just want to meet foreign friends?

Because Language Exchange is not mandatory, there must be a strong motivation to learn each other’s language in order to be sustainable.

2) How is your language ability?

Usually, I suggest that it is better to have at least a daily conversation level, so that you can correct and improve your speech step by step during the conversation. Otherwise, it is easy to keep speaking only one language with each other.

3) Do you like to interact with people?

In fact, Language Exchange is also a kind of meeting internet friend activity, whether online or face-to-face, the first meeting will inevitably be awkward. So before participating in Language Exchange, you can ask yourself, do you want to meet a new stranger? Will you be curious about your partner?

What to prepare before Language Exchange?

The preparation content will vary depending on the length of time you work with your language partner, and is divided into early and late stages:

Early-stage

1) Confirm meeting time and language appointment (1 hour of full Chinese conversation, 1 hour of full foreign language conversation). And set an alarm before you start so that you don’t forget to change the language when you’re having too much fun conversation.

2) Usually, the first meeting is just about introducing yourself, why are you learning this language? What are your hobbies? Where have you traveled to? What kind of music do you prefer? Basically, it’s the same as a blind date, in the process of talking to each other to find out what you have in common and whether we have a mutual connection because this part will also affect the subsequent contact.

Late-stage

When you get to know your partner better, you will gradually start to run out of topics to talk about, so it is very important to prepare some beforehand.

1) Note down any problems of language learning that you have, such as being unsure how to translate a sentence or whether there is a more authentic way to say it. You can also bring your own textbooks or assignments and discuss your questions together.

2) If you have a grammatical problem, try not to ask a native speaker, because they usually don’t know how to explain it, either. Unless the partner major in linguistics, otherwise a lot of time will be wasted trying to explain grammar.

3) Share something interesting that happened recently, or any interesting articles, news, videos, cultural differences or interesting topics to discuss. It is better to have questions with a little depth, such as environmental protection or social issues, so that you can practice expressing your own ideas, and hear the results of your partner’s opinions from different perspectives.

4) Write an exchange diary! Language Exchange is not only to practice speaking, writing is also a very important part of it. You can write a short article about your reading experience or a movie afterthought. Gradually your writing skills will be greatly improved without you even realizing it!

5) Let’s hang out together! Hiking, movies, museums, whatever you and your friends like to do, invite your language partner to go with you as well! Since you’re going out together, you don’t have to be too strict about which language you speak for how long, so just switch between them! Be flexible!

6) Register for the language test and get certified! You can practice for the content of the exam, with specific topics and sentence patterns. When you are under pressure, you will be more prepared for each Language Exchange!

What should I pay attention to during Language Exchange?

1) When introducing to each other, observe the language level of your partner and adjust your speaking speed according to the language level, pronouncing your words as clearly and standardly as possible.

2) When practicing the language, instead of expressing yourself in your native language, ask more questions so that your partner can answer his/her thoughts more often. For example: Why? What do you think? What would you do?…etc. Try to use these questions often.

3) Use the cloud notepad to record words or sentences during the meeting, so that you can easily re-read them afterward.

Where can I find a Language Exchange partner?

Nowadays there are many ways to find language exchange partners, through mobile apps, websites, or by staying in a multicultural share house.

APP& Website recommendation:

1) Hello Talk: You can send texts, voice messages, voice calling, and video calling, and you can also help each other fix sentences, translate, and other auxiliary functions. You can also upload pictures and short articles. The overall function is very similar to Instagram.

2) Tandem: It is very similar to the function of HelloTalk, except that this app will actively send the notification about the info of other members to increase the chance of matching.

3) HiNative: It is a Q&A platform where you can ask questions about grammar, wording differences, or articles, and there are usually enthusiastic answers from native speakers.

4) BORDERLESS HOUSE: It is a multicultural share house with locals and they also organize a variety of events and provide free Language Exchange opportunities from time to time.

BORDERLESS HOUSE is an international, multicultural share house with locals. There are 17 houses in Taipei City and overseas branches in Tokyo, Osaka(Japan), and Seoul(South Korea).

Why Are Share Houses The Best Shelter Option When You Are Starting Life In Abroad?

In the present world, borders and boundaries have become fluid. These lines that mark and enclose an area to represent a city, country, or continent, and which primarily only exist on paper are in the present world not as rigid as they used to be earlier. Instead, in the present moment, these boundaries have become porous to allow people to move in and out of a country. This sits true for the borders and boundaries of almost all the countries or continents around the globe.

The Earth presently has become a global space, and all the cities and countries have become a part of its chain. Whether it is for studies or managing businesses, every year we witness people moving across borders. Because of this, it has become a natural occurrence to find citizens of different nationalities living together in a country they were not born or brought up.

But if you have ever traveled overseas, then you would know that living in a new country is not a very pleasant experience especially during the initial days. It is so because when you go to a new place you usually miss your old friends and family, and the previous surroundings terribly. Plus, when you move to a new country you feel like a stranger, and thus, it becomes difficult to blend in.

Mixing-in in a new country is not as easy as it may appear in the first place. We say so because when you go to a new place, you usually don’t know much about the culture or tradition of that place. And because of this, you always feel anxious and stressed in your new surroundings. You are always on your toes observing how other people are behaving so you would not mistakenly do that would hurt or disrespect the sentiments of the natives.

Thus, in such a time when you have freshly moved into a new country, it is considered a good idea to live in a share house. Doing so will help you in many ways. Wondering how that works? Well, in that case, read our next section to find out your answers.

How are share houses helpful in starting a fresh life in a new country?

A sharehouse is a big property that is offered on rent to tenants where many strangers share the same roof. In a share house, you can rent a single room for yourself or you can rent a room that houses 3 to 4 people in total depending upon your needs and requirements. This place is a top shelter choice for people, especially for those who have freshly shifted to a new country because-
It helps you in understanding alien customs.

As we have already established, when you move to a new country, chances are that you will be unfamiliar with its customs and traditions. This can make you anxious while adding to your stress levels. Also, there is this probability that if you did something wrong because of your unfamiliarity with the local customs that the natives find offending or insulting, then you might feel even more alienated and alone. Thus, for this reason, it is a safe choice to live in a share house at least for the initial days because there you are bound to come across many people who will be interested in international exchange.

When you will live with them, such people will help you in learning more about their local culture, while at the same time they will also try to understand your traditions. This healthy exchange will make your life significantly easier. So, if you want to know about the local customs and traditions of a place, its food, its manners, etc. in a friendly way without wasting much time, then share houses should be your top priority while seeking shelter.

It is a borderless accommodation

When you move to a new space how fluently you can speak their local language plays a very important role in deciding the ease with which you will blend in your new surroundings. So, for example, if you have moved to Taiwan for your further studies and you can fluently speak and write Chinese, then this will probably mean that you will find it easier to navigate Taiwan as compared to someone who doesn’t even understand Chinese. It is so because when you don’t understand the local language of a place, you find it hard to explain to people your queries or emotions.

Now, in such a scenario, it is wise to find a share house in your new country because in share houses you can probably find residents who are familiar with your language. In this way, your common language can help you in befriending people and it can also help you in learning the local language quite easily. We, BORDERLESS HOUSE, make language exchange easy for you by offering on our website the information about the nationality of its residents. You can even opt to talk to the residents of the share house while requesting a preview of the property.

It offers you easier access to common knowledge

When you shift to a new country, other than the customs, traditions, and language of that place there are many other things that you ought to learn about your new home town. These things include information on the common practices of the new place, knowledge about local shops and convenience stores in your locality, and awareness about the norms of living in that place such that your safety is not threatened.

Living in a share house can help you in gaining easy access to such information. It is so because when you are sharing a roof with other people you are bound to interact with them. In your conversations, you can come across the above-mentioned info without even requesting for the same. In opposed to this, if you opt to live alone in a new country, then acquiring such information may take some time.

Thus, these are some reasons because of which living in a share house should be your preferred choice. Living here can help you in settling-in easily.
