After an epic but hectic three weeks with my workshop and trip to tropical north Queensland on the media campaign, I needed a second to breathe. There isn’t a much better place for a digital nomad to do so than in Canggu Bali. In this, the 89th, edition of ‘The Weekly’, I’m going to take …
THE WEEKLY
Every Sunday I sit down and reflect on the week that just passed, I prepare to collect my thoughts. I try and write something a bit different each week. Some weeks I share what I have been doing throughout the last seven days. However, some weeks I try and let you into my headspace a …
What a freaking whirlwind! As 10 content creators and bloggers, we headed to the Nusa Islands intent on exploring, adventuring and learning the trade of blogging. We returned as a team that will support each other into the rest of 2018 and beyond. We returned having shared knowledge with each other on topics from photography to media …
The Nusa Islands Blogger Workshop has finally arrived. At the end of 2017, I opened up applications for my first ever workshop. 500 people applied and I chose the seven bloggers and content creators who I thought had an adventurous spirit and were committed to working hard to becoming a digital nomad. Fast-forward to March …
And all of a sudden I was in Bali moments away from the initial day of my first ever workshop. Over the last two years, I have continually put myself into challenging situations, pushed myself into realms of uncertainty and for the most part I have come out the other side in good shape. If …
Life on the road seems like a blast and it is. I often have to stop and think what a normal life used to feel like. It’s been almost two years of continuous backpacking and that type of nonstop freedom has a certain effect on you. It blurs your outlook on life. You kind of …
My third week on Kauai was highlighted by a three-night stay at Koloa Landing Resort. I also linked up with some other photographers on the island and went on some more epic hikes. One of the hikes led me to a towering waterfall in the middle of the jungle and the other led me to the …
Each week on the road brings forth a new set of challenges. Those challenges are often slightly more uncomfortable when you refuse to pay for a $45 a night hostel and its pouring with rain all week. The generous couch surf hosts of Kauai had dried up after serving me well in the first week. …
For many, travel is a bi-annual vacation. It’s a promised land of fun, cocktails, palm-trees and lavish spending. It’s a reward for the hard yards put in at the office throughout the year. That’s how the majority of the world travels. But then there is us. The backpackers, the budget-travelers and those willing to seek …
After more than a year and a half, I found my way back on a plane to Oahu. It seemed like a lifetime ago that I was on Oahu, hiking my way around the island and enjoying all of the beautiful beaches. Here I was, stepping out of the airport at 630 am after a …
It’s the time of year where I collect my life possessions, pack my bags and set off for a year of adventures. This year my backpack weighed in at a respectable 12kgs, which is essentially everything I own. I always find it quite liberating to begin the year with a handful of possessions, packed orderly …
Well, what do you know! It was just another week on the road, hitting up the beaches along the east coast of Australia. I barely had much time to work ferociously on my blog as I sometimes do on the road. However, it was a monumental moment for the blog. I reached 200,000 monthly page …
