“Việt Nam vô địch! Việt Nam vô địch!!”. That’s one of the only few things I learned in Vietnamese, it stands for “Vietnam Champion!”
I had no idea that Vietnamese cared so much about football. Although, I think they didn’t even know themselves. In the past days Vietnam reached the final stages of the U23 Asian Cup and the entire…
We had a friend. His name was Italo. Italo is no longer our friend. Italo hates us. I don’t remember which one is his real name to be honest, maybe Alessandro or Antonio. I don’t know. He called himself Italo Nguyen on Facebook, as he was an Italian guy travelling in Vietnam (Nguyen is the most common vietnamese surname). We…
After 3 weeks riding all over Cambodia I had to drop my plan to go to Laos as the border is apparently closed. To do that I should’ve done a little detour through central Vietnam mountains, which would have taken me at least a couple of days. So better to change a bit the itinerary doing Cambodia-Vietnam-Laos. Under a fairly…
“Excuse me, where can I buy…”“A motorbike!?”“A sim card”“A motorbike!?”“I mean, yeah… maybe I’ll get a motorbike as well at some point, but I need a sim card now”“Ok, my friend have motorbike”“Oh fuck…I give up…what motorbike?”“He be here in 5 minutes! Good motorbike!”“…ok…but what about a sim card?”“You go buy sim card with motorbike”“Oh FFS…ok ok, let’s have a…
Sadness, that sadness that you feel when you’re leaving a place too early, or that it’s not the time to leave yet. That is probably the worse part of travelling. You get used for it, for sure, it happens almost every few days, then you’re in the new place and everything starts again. However, despite getting used, it always hurts…
“Hey new girl, who are you?”
“Chantelle”
“Chantelle is your name…I’ve asked who you are.”
The girl quite intimidated by this strange individual bows her head looking straight at her breakfast without saying a word.
The guy starts to laugh and so do I with him. I like him, he’s an Australian DJ and surfer, in his forties, with long…
After 3 weeks in Sri Lanka, I flew to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Where I stayed only for few days as the weather was not the best, pouring rain every afternoon, all afternoon. After all I knew that. I did my research before leaving and wrote everything in a spreadsheet called When to visit, you can have a look at it…
So eventually I decided to leave. 6-7 months of travel. That’s the maximum I’m a allowed not to break my continuous residency in the UK, permitted that in this period I would continue to work and produce invoices.
I spoke with an immigration lawyer before leaving and that should be fine.
To start I went for about 3 weeks to…
I decided, I’m going to travel for at least 6-7 months in Asia. I’ll be working remotely as freelancer from exotic locations. If things work out I can even stay longer, like a year or who knows. I want to be free. Why not? After all the only things I need are my laptop and an internet connection. I found…
My 2016 has been characterised by the focus on my freelance activity. During the first months I’ve been updating my personal brand. While from July, I started working properly as freelancer. At the same time, after more than a year stuck between university and full-time job, I took advantage of the new freedom to travel a bit around.
JANUARY:
