Since marijuana became legal recreationally in Colorado at the end of 2012, there has been an influx of people coming to the state to partake, with Colorado’s biggest city, Denver, being the city at the forefront of Cannabis Tourism.

Month Twenty Eight of my Digital Nomad Life was a pretty fun one, and included A LOT of road-tripping, plus a big, life-changing event – more on that below. We explored six States in only thirty days this month, and I somehow also managed to fit in work, sleep and lots of Netflix binge-watching. Not […] Read more…
Month Twenty Seven of Digital Nomad Life was the first month in a while when I didn’t set foot on a plane – but that doesn’t mean we weren’t still traveling. The first morning of month twenty seven was spent doing something I had wanted to do since first visiting Navajo National Monument back in […] Read more…

Two years people! Who knew?! I certainly didn’t think I would still be travelling now. In fact, when I left Sydney to do a one year trip two years ago, the plan was to be living back in New Zealand now – pretty much settled and working a regular job. Thank God plans changed. Don’t […] Read more…
Month Twenty Three of my Digital Nomad Life saw me in three different countries but I would still call it a quiet month of working and largely chilling out. I started the month with my last weekend in Auckland, catching up with one of my besties in Cornwall Park and visiting my sister’s tree in […] Read more…
Telluride is the best mountain town in Colorado. There, I said it. And I pretty much knew this as a fact from the moment I first drove into town. Well, you know, in my reality at least. Driving into Telluride made me feel like Frodo when he first laid eyes on Rivendell. The picture perfect […] Read more…
It has now been twenty months since I left Sydney on what was meant to be a one year trip – and I’m still going. It’s not ‘The Big Trip’ anymore – this is my life now. And damned if I don’t feel incredibly lucky to get to live this way. I decided to change […] Read more…
