Ah, Vietnam. This popular backpacker destination has become a popular digital nomad destination in recent years. Spots like Danang, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi already have digital nomad communities and infrastructure. But we love #islandlife and became curious about Phu Quoc as a digital nomad destination. So we stayed on the island for about two …
Japan has been at the top of my travel bucket list for a very long time. As I got older, I became more and more fascinated by Japanese food and culture.

If you’re planning on visiting Thailand, you’re probably wondering when the best time of year is for your holiday. What is the weather and climate like in Thailand? Well after living in Thailand for over 2.5 non-consecutive years in three different parts of the country (Bangkok, Koh Tao, and Chiang Mai), I’m here to shed …
