Teaching is often a go-to profession for those of us who want to see the world, I’ve been teaching English as a second language for 3 years now, with 1 year in Japan and 2 years here in Chile under my belt. I’m lucky enough to get to travel, immerse myself in new cultures - and still get paid! I would recommend this job to anyone. But this lifestyle isn't j[...]

"So, where are you off to this weekend?" By now, I'm used to people asking me where I am traveling to next. The ones closest to me don't even ask anymore whether I'll be home when I'm off work. They know the backpack is waiting for me next to my door, and a travel plan has already been made weeks, maybe months in advance. They know me and are used to this[...]

I'm not a fan of the phrase ‘digital nomad’ to be honest. Videos like this one, together with all too many cliches, have made it seem a rather idealistic and unrealistic way for people to try to drag out their travels as much as possible. However I might try and avoid it though, a digital nomad is, in fact, what I am these days - and there are a lot of us ar[...]

But I always knew that I wanted to do something more meaningful with my l[...]

We all know that by saying yes more, it’s highly likely that we’ll discover those adventures that may be waiting around the corner... yes, I'll go on [...]

The life of a holiday representative is a constant party. Working with a group of other young and like-minded people, an hour or two a day in your boring hotel before the fun can really begin and you can tear up the town. Shots, drugs and sex are on top of everyone's minds all day, every day. Running your guests around the best bars and clubs your destinatio[...]

Even though I had always very much enjoyed my more or less steady job (which involved a lot of travelling, and definitely was no 9-5 job, but still...) and love living in Cali, Colombia, I felt it was time for a change. I decided to follow my two big dreams: setting up my own Communications for Development Agency and roaming around the Latin American and Eur[...]
