Being a travel blogger has put me into this alternate universe where it’s perfectly normal to work online from any corner of the world that gets internet. Where some people choose not to have a home at all and travel from one location to the next every few days or weeks or months. Technically I […]
January is cold and gloomy in Berlin, so it’s often when Andy and I skip town in favor of warmer locations. Berlin’s latitude is about 52.5N, and the darkness has a much bigger effect on our mental health than I ever thought it would. So last year we went to Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El […]
Making money online was never a lifelong goal of mine. I mean, the first company I worked for after college still used a fax machine on a regular basis. Earning money from the comfort of my own home, or from a beachfront cafe in Thailand, wasn’t on my radar back then. But that all changed […]

We kept calling it a working trip because our main goals were to write and work on other projects while enjoying some warm weather instead of the cold German winter. Sure, […]
Lately Andy and I have been hinting around about upcoming travel plans, and I’m finally ready to share some of the details. But it’s more than just our next fun trip.
