This week’s guest post for the ‘Day-to-Day’ series comes from Katie, an American expat who’s currently working and living in Broome Australia. I’m currently based in Australia, working and traveling my way around the country on a working holiday visa. These days, I’m living in Broome, a small town in Western Australia. I hadn’t heard of Broome until a […]

Bangkok is huge and picking accommodation can be overwhelming – booking sites list between 1,000 – 1,500+ hotels in the area – how do you choose? Things also get confusing if you’re not familiar with the city because there are so many districts, 50 in all, and no clearly defined central or “downtown” area. When it […]

This is the third and final part of a three-part post about how I’ve managed to keep traveling and living abroad these past four years without using up my savings. It’s not a guide on how to save money for travel or a complete budget breakdown, but an overview of how I’ve personally made it work. If […]

This is the second part of a post about how I’ve managed to keep traveling and living abroad these past four years without using up my savings. It’s not a guide on how to save money for travel or a complete budget breakdown, but an overview of how I’ve personally made it work. If you’re just […]

I realize that what I do for a living and my lifestyle is difficult for many people to understand. I don’t quite believe it myself most of the time, and rarely feel like I know what I’m doing so certainly don’t expect other people to get it. But I have noticed that there tends to be two very big […]

This week’s guest post for the ‘Day-to-Day’ series comes from Lucy, a British expat who’s currently working and living on Koh Tao, a small island in Thailand.  Koh Tao Stole My Heart. That’s the translation of the Thai writing lovingly etched in ink on my arm, the meaning of which remains a mystery to any Thai person who tries to read it….’Koh […]

Chiang Mai never ceases to amaze me. As much as I love the region’s scenery, culture and food however, it’s really the people that make it something extra special. People who are simply incredibly kind, generous and open-minded, people who are going after their dreams or passion projects (like this), and people who are working […]

This week’s guest post for the ‘Day-to-Day’ series comes from Katrinka, an American expat who’s currently working and living in Istanbul.  Two and a half years ago, my desire to live abroad and travel brought me to Istanbul without much of a plan. I’d visited the city three times and the initial rush of love gave way to […]

After spending the majority of the past four years in Southeast Asia, I sometimes forget what my “normal” habits, beliefs and routines were like before. I’m still madly in love with Thailand and I appreciate every single day that I get to spend in the country – the temples haven’t lost their charm and the […]

This week’s guest post for the ‘Day-to-Day’ series comes from Cheryl, a Canadian expat who’s currently working and living in Berlin. My day usually starts around 10:00 am when I make my way to work. As I’m not a morning person, the first part of my day is totally fuelled by coffee so I usually grab a flat white from a cute […]
