No matter where I’m living, I always need some nature in my life. Lucky for me, when it comes to nature, Chiang Mai doesn’t disappoint. I have pretty thoroughly explored the best outdoor activities in Chiang Mai — everything from city parks to hiking trails to waterfalls — and compiled a list of my favorites. …
Honestly, I thought finding a place to live would be a lot easier in Chiang Mai given all the digital nomads and long-term expats who live here. Not so much.

Koh Tao is truly one of my favorite places in the world. I first visited it back in 2012, then came again in 2013, and finally returned at the end of 2017 to live here for a while. I love the smallness and community feel of it as compared to other places I’ve been to …
