Leaving the lonely Canggu villa, I arrived in Ubud to a more socialable hostel environment. Spending some time around like-minded travellers energized my spirit more than I received from the Canggu villa digital nomad life. I thoroughly enjoyed Ubud and has been one of my favorite places in Bali so far. I would recommend that...

Recently, I wrote a 10-part piece for Lightweight Travellers about taking a grown-up gap year. I don’t write about my own background story very often but it’s so interesting to read other’s stories and how they became travellers themselves. We all come from different backgrounds but somehow find a way to connect with each other...

Uluwatu was by far my favorite place in Bali and the region where I spent most of my time. I liked it so much the first time that I came back a second time and it got even better. It has a bit of everything that I like, great beaches, epic sunsets, scenic ocean views...

My first day began with a shared flight with my Ex-girlfriend. Something I was dreading but we managed to get along fine and even had a heart-to-heart chat before parting ways indefinitely. I still think she lacks introspection with her role in the breakup but that’s not really my problem anymore. I just don’t care...

Located in the northern part of the rather large Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand and nestled in-between mountain ranges on all sides, Hanmer Springs is famous for one...

Travel Fitness The one thing I miss the most about my life back home is my workout routine. After an 8 hour day at work, head to the gym 3 or 4 days a week. I stuck with this routine for about 2.5 years and made some serious progress in that time. I’m sure my...

Bali has been a mix of good and bad for me so far. Mainly because I arrived shortly after a breakup that was fresh in my mind and knew she was also staying in Canggu, an up-and-coming surfer spot. I didn’t want to have to run into her and get my feelings coming back. It’s...

Why do I even bother? I should just keep my mouth shut but I always try to explain it to people and nobody seems to get it. It makes me look like a crazy American idiot who has no idea how the world works and of course there’s nobody else there to back me up....
