I’m back to blogging after a pretty bad run of getting sick here in Bali. After writing about having a mild fear of getting Dengue Fever I’m pretty sure I got it. I didn’t go to the hospital and get it diagnosed because it didn’t seem like there was anything to do besides rest and …
Week 2 Bali
Just over 1.5 weeks here in Bali and still enjoying it. I’ve learned a lot here already in Bali. Drink more electrolyte water when it’s really hot out, especially when your stomach gets messed up (“Bali Belly”). You have to be pretty aggressive on a motorbike, or even just walking, if you want to …

The flight back from Bali will be something I’ve never experienced before… a 50+ hour travel experience. There is a 21 hour layover in Taipei, followed by a 7 hour layover in New …
Travel Plans
I’m sipping a latte in shorts and a t-shirt, watching the rain drizzle in an open-air cafe like a proper digital nomad. The digital nomad world is kind of like hipsters; I am firmly entrenched in many aspects of the lifestyle, but I strongly don’t identify with it. Exploring the world while working and having …
