Month Sixty was the first month in a while that I (slowly and cautiously) started traveling again. And it felt so great, despite the restrictions. I spent the first half of the month in the Denver area, catching up with friends and family, doing some hiking in Boulder and Golden Gate Canyon State Park, camping […] Read more…
Rather than my regular monthly Digital Nomad update, I thought I would do something a bit different this month, because, well, everything has been different. I have been in lockdown in New Zealand for the whole month. It should feel weird to be staying in one place for so long, but it actually hasn’t – […] Read more…
The 23rd June 2020 will mark a significant milestone for me: Five years living a nomadic life. Traveling through 20 countries, not paying rent anywhere, and never in one place for more than a couple of months at most – being nomadic is an exciting life of true freedom. Although it isn’t always easy, it […] Read more…
Month Fifty Seven of Digital Nomad Life was my last month of travel for a while, and I made the most of it. I spent the first three weeks of the month in India, and they were incredible, exhausting, enlightening weeks. Very India. The month began in Varanasi, where we spent half a day waiting […] Read more…

Month Fifty Four was a fun one – spent in two of my favorite countries in the world: New Zealand and Thailand. I started the month in Papamoa at my Mum’s, for a weekend of beach, hiking up the Mount, and hanging out with family for my Mum’s birthday. From there, I headed back to […] Read more…
Month Fifty One saw me back to my old self – on the road! Looking back it was kind of a crazy month – I visited three states and two countries while also working full time, but I loved it and really felt like myself again. I started the month in Rapid City where I […] Read more…
Month forty one started with travel but most of the month was spent in Denver, working and living a regular life – I know, it’s shocking! I started the month with two nights left on our Utah National Parks road trip, where we visited Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks before deciding to shorten […] Read more…
Month Forty Three of Digital Nomad Life was a pretty relaxed one, split between snowy Colorado and hot Hawaii. We started the month with a six day housesit in Littleton, a small town in the south of Denver. The two dogs we were caring for were super sweet and we walked them daily on the […] Read more…
2018 was a pretty great year. The first half of the year was spent in Asia-Pacific, traveling and working, before traveling back to the US for the second half of the year after eight months away. Although I traveled to less countries than 2017 – seven countries down from nine – I was still very […] Read more…
