My Digital Nomad Life after 2.5 Years: I Quit ESL Teaching & Full Time Blogging
It's been several months since I published a post. I must admit that my writing skills have become rusty. Last year, I had to think about what works and what doesn't for my digital nomad life so there were some things which I had to give up. My first two and a half years as a digital nomad was a series of trial and error. I also switched jobs more
Northern Thailand: Pai to Mae Sai Motorbike Loop
I previously wrote about a motorbike day tour that @jpphotography and I did in Pai, Thailand. It was just a warm up for a longer motorbike trip. We did two separate week-long motorbike trips, the second one was the Mae Hong Son loop. I am not sure what to call this first motorbike trip as it isn’t really a usual route. I can call it the Pai to Mae
Mae Hong Son, North Thailand: Top 10 Things to Do
We reached Mae Hong Son, capital of Mae Hong Son province, on the 4th day of our Mae Hong Son loop motorbike tour and decided to stay here fo 3 days. Here you will find signs that says 1864. That is not the altitude or a year, it’s the number of curves you have to go through to get here. I previously uploaded a video on this but I will further o
“Elephant Spirit Crushing”: Why You Shouldn’t Ride an Elephant and Elephant Nature Park’s Solution in Thailand
image source: performing elephant I have seen it several times, [Facebook] friends posting their travel photos from Thailand, merrily riding an elephant. As instagram-worthy one might think it is, there’s a great sacrifice for these creatures to be able to submit to this kind of labor. The world seems still unaware of the cruelty behind this. I re
Pai on a Motorbike: Land Splits, Bamboos and Canyons
I thought Pai in Northern Thailand would be a small place where you can just walk or trek anywhere but I was wrong. There is so much to discover around Pai and even after making it a home-base for 5 weeks, there were still some places we missed to explore. Motorbike for 100 Baht! Once you arrive in Pai, you would see endless lines of motorbikes for
Pai Walking Street 10 Baht Food Challenge
One of the best things I enjoyed in Thailand are their night markets. However, it can sometimes be too touristy and so prices tend to be higher than the local street food. While in Chiang Mai, we avoided the night market and found less popular and affordable street food. We thought of doing the same in Pai, all farangs gather in the Pai Walking str
TravelFeed Meetup in Pai: Behind the Scenes
Last month, @travelfeed provided some updates on the meetups that happened after SteemFest in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. By this time, I have re-joined the team to help in social media, PR and testing. I wasn’t involved yet when the team organized these meetups. It looked as easy as posting an event in Facebook and CouchSurfing and you just wait for p
SteemFest 4 Diary: Final Days & Goodbye's
Day 4 Pancakes and Beer It was so tiring after 3 days that we woke up late. We still made it on time for pancakes! That was my first time to try Dutch pancakes and I must say it was good. A big group went out and I got separated from the @travelfeed team. You may have seen me with them most of the time because I prefer smaller groups but I was happ
SteemFest 4 Diary | Day 2 to 3 Conference, Fun & Nosebleeding
Day 2 Conference It wasn’t difficult waking up. There was a loud bird residing on the tree near our hotel. It was annoyingly loud but useful as an alarm clock! The day started fun riding a boat to the venue and found others at the boat station. It was quite far but we made it just on time. The presentation starting with Steemit Inc was interesting
SteemFest 4: Reflections & Day 1 of my SF Diary
The Travelfeed team and I are now in Chiang Mai to prepare for meet ups and have just had the time to finally contemplate on what just happened! I have just attended my first Steemfest and I could not wrap up my experience in words. It was educational and fun at the same time for someone like me still learning my way through this technical platform
