But we think that the eSIM card is the …

Let’s face it, not every travel destination is Shangri-la. And for sure: different strokes for different folks. But we did NOT love Hanoi.

It ain’t easy being full-time digital nomads in the time of COVID-19. To be sure, COVID-19 has been hard on so many levels for every human on planet Earth.

We …
One of the most-asked questions we get from folks both at home and that we meet along the way in our adventure is: ‘So what is a typical digital nomad day…what does it look like?’ Well, here in Chiang Mai it looks a lot like our days before we became digital nomads: we work, we eat, we sleep, we travel …
