I once thought planning a multi-country trip would be as simple as stringing a few destinations together like beads on a necklace. Turns out, it’s more like trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle with pieces from different boxes. The first time I tackled this beast, I ended up stranded in a tiny Italian village because […]

I once found myself in a cramped hostel room in Bangkok, the kind that smells like stale dreams and desperation, realizing I was about to overstay my visa. No amount of charm or cash would sway the humorless immigration officer I imagined waiting at the airport. That was the moment I learned that long-term travel […]

I once found myself, laptop in hand, perched on a wobbly café table in a back alley of Bangkok. The Wi-Fi was as reliable as a politician’s promise, but there I was, trying to squeeze out a few coherent sentences between sips of overly sweet iced coffee. This was the glamorous life I’d imagined when […]

As I sat on a tranquil beach in Costa Rica, watching the sunrise over the ocean, I realized that embracing mindfulness isn’t just about finding inner peace, but also about optimizing our daily routines. I’ve often heard people say that using a Productivity tools guide is a surefire way to get more done in less […]

I once tried to start a travel blog. Key word: tried. Picture me, a fresh-faced optimist armed with a cheap laptop and a head full of misguided dreams, thinking I could turn my rambling road trips into a digital masterpiece.

I still remember the first time I captured a stunning sunset on my phone in Costa Rica – it was like the whole sky was set ablaze, and I’ve been hooked on how to take better photos with your smartphone ever since. The common myth that you need an expensive camera to take breathtaking photos […]

I remember the first time I tried to put together a brand style for my own business. Picture a grown adult staring at a color wheel like it was an alien artifact. My first logo could have been mistaken for a toddler’s art project, and my choice of font? Let’s just say Comic Sans should […]

I’ll never forget the first time I decided to dip my toes into the world of travel vlogging. Armed with nothing but an outdated smartphone and a misguided sense of adventure, I thought I was ready to take on YouTube. Spoiler alert: I wasn’t. My first video was a shaky mess of poorly framed shots […]

I once snapped a photo of the Eiffel Tower that looked more like an abstract painting than a postcard-worthy masterpiece. Maybe it was the jet lag talking, or perhaps the blinding Parisian sunlight, but my attempt at capturing this iconic structure was a disaster. There it was—an imposing symbol of romance and grandeur—reduced to a […]
