Travel blog of a digital nomad.
When I’m on the road I’m always on the lookout for interesting cafes and new coffee experiences. On my trip to Yogyakarta I found an unusual brew called Jopi Joss: charcoal coffee. [Kopi Joss - it tastes better than it looks.] Kopi Joss preparation starts off in the usual Javanese style, with loose coffee grinds [...] Read more »
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 »
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.

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 »
Coffee Journey – A tour for those who love coffee I can’t remember the last time I went on a tour that went more than a day. It is possible that I have never been on such a tour (really, I can’t remember). So I find it remarkable that on my stay in Chiang Mai [...] Read more »
…Happy birthday to you! The 30th of August is Melbourne Day, and today Melbourne was 175 years old. [Melbourne Day Birthday Cake] Although Melbourne Day is an official day, it’s not an official holiday, so it’s not celebrated with gusto. Most people don’t know about it actually. If you were to pick a true Melbourne [...] Read more »
The Black sea Coast of Bulgaria has been a budget holiday favourite for decades. First with the countries behind the Iron Curtain, and now with the countries from the cold north. Along this stretch of coast is a good cross section of Europe with styling urban cities, cheapo package holiday resorts, old fishing villages and [...] Read more »
