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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Part of why I love living in Chiang Mai is the fascinating people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet. There’s something about this place that attracts people that are living by their own rules, working on their own projects and truly going after their passions. Many of them also happen to be doing a lot […]

Because of this, the city is one of the […]

Let me first say that I wear Thai fisherman’s pants on a daily basis. I always have a nice sheen going because I’m always sweating to some degree, I never try and fix my hair because I’m just going to put a helmet over it anyway, my clothes now often have white dog hair clinging […]

One thing you’ll quickly notice after spending some time in Chiang Mai is that there is a thriving yoga and wellness community here. There’s something about the combination of the laid-back lifestyle, sun everyday, gorgeous natural surroundings, a Buddhist culture where even the wildest high school students will sit still in silent meditation, and abundance of […]

As someone who had never had a pet before last year, I always thought pet-friendly indoor spaces were sort of strange. Frankly, I still do, but on a lazy Sunday when we wanted to go out for a long lunch I was intrigued about a dog-friendly cafe in Chiang Mai I had read about – […]

I’m always hesitant to write a post about a place I don’t know much about. Travel blogs can be great sources of information, but too often bloggers tend to share information and tips for a place they’ve barely spent time in. Instead of their posts really being about the “Best Places to Eat in…” wherever, […]
