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. [...]
One of the little grievances of the digital nomad lifestyle - in South East Asia - is the need for via runs. In some cases, you have to leave the country to come back in. A completely physical exercise for a paper problem, don't you agree? I like to combine "business" with pleasure so I [...]

When I am writing this I am sitting in an internet cafe. Behind me there is a tourist girl comparing her love life to the 50 shades. Outside on the terrace there is a family completely dressed up after church. They all look pretty. Last week I sat down with a Filipino lawyer. As you [...]
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 [...]
