Travel blog of a digital nomad.
Bangkok is so enormous that many of the good cafes are tucked away in not so obvious locations. In October I was able to spend a month here which gave me time to explore the city and go look for work friendly cafes with wifi. While the cafe scene here is not as digital nomad [...] Read more »
After my article about the cafe scene in Chiang Mai I was alerted to the fact that Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) has a healthy cafe scene going on as well. I know a number of location independent workers who have set up shop there and extoll the virtues of the good coffee and fast, [...] Read more »
[Uncle Ho in Ho Chi Minh City] Greetings from Ho Chi Minh City (also still called Saigon by many here.) I haven’t been here since 2005 and I was only here for a few days on that trip, but the word on the street is that Ho Chi Minh City is developing into a hotspot [...] Read more »
Greetings from Vienna. After a wonderful 11 days in Jordan (which I am yet to blog about) I have arrived in Vienna for a relatively short trip to Europe. I have hinted that I may have a big travel project in Europe, and now that I am here I can confirm that I will be [...] Read more »
A month of cafes in Chiang Mai – Thailand When in need of downtime to get projects done in Asia, Chiang Mai has been my home base of choice. I realised when I first started coming here that this city is a cafe wonderland. With so many cafes with wifi, it is an easy place [...] Read more »
It’s been a while since I’ve done a coffee of the day, so I’m making a comeback post in style. [Coffee Of The Day: El Nido, Palawan, Philippines] I arrived in El Nido after a cramped, knee busting, 6 hour mini van ride from Puerto Princesa. After being uncanned from our sardine tin I headed [...] Read more »
[Stumptown Coffee - Portland - USA] While going through my photos for this weeks travel photo I realised I didn’t have a photo of a compelling Portland landmark. Portland is more of a place to be than a place to see. It’s an industrial city that gradually lost its way when the tradional industry moved [...] Read more »
Seattle has been on my go to list since before I started travelling internationally. Yet even after eight previous visits to the USA I had still not made it to the Pacific Northwest. So after attending TBEX in Vancouver, I finally got the chance to visit. It’s not that Seattle has any sites in particular [...] Read more »
Varanasi has always been high on my list of places to visit in India. Before coming here I knew that Varanasi was famous for the ghats (steps) that lead to the Ganges river. Varanasi is well known for the funeral pyres where devout Hindu’s consider it good fortune if, God willing, they die here in [...] Read more »
Having secured a visa for India, I have been happy to stay put in Chiang Mai, get some hours in for work and hang out with the large remote workers community that calls Chiang Mai home. If there is one thing I love about Chiang Mai, it is the cafes. There are cafes everywhere, which [...] Read more »
