Aaah... The capital of remote workers. The empire of digital nomad-ism. After spending some time here in 2008, it was no surprise I would end up here at one point. Life in Chiang Mai as a digital nomad is easy going. I wake up every morning whenever I feel like it. No alarm bells for me. [...]
Let me tell you about my biggest failure ever. Sure, you can laugh. But this has been so embarrassing for me that I never dared to talk about it for a long time. I literally told this to only one or two people before writing this email. Where is this about? A long time [...]

Did you notice anything strange? Of course not. But I have been "of the grid" for 10 days. Not as if there is no internet here in the Philippines. There is mobile internet everywhere. Except in the most remote of islands. And it is exactly where I dived head first on a rock. Arguably the [...]
Let me tell you about the very exotic road trip I went on. It started when we left Cebu at 5 AM. In a southbound bus. To Oslob. In Oslob there is a feeding ground for whale sharks. (this means that they are being fed by "marine biologists") So you have about 100% change [...]
