We don’t blog for a living but that doesn’t prevent us from monetizing our blog a bit. This quarter we increased our blog income by 38% (although by a small amount from the previous quarter). In this post we explain how we monetize our blog, what works, what doesn’t, and how much money we made in the first quarter of 2021 (which covers the period from 1/1/2021 to 3/31/2021)
We spent this past month living large in Taipei and ended up blowing our yearly budget of US$28K in just one month! We wanted to experiment what it would be like to travel without budget limitations and it turns out that we actually have very expensive taste and feel most comfortable living in luxury.
In this post, we are taking a deep dive into our budget and how the two of us spent about $1,200 USD for a 4 week stay in Penang, Malaysia in November 2019. We picked Penang because it is a food paradise and we have not been disappointed on that front!
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since the pandemic and hence a year since we’ve been able to travel internationally. Right before the travel shutdown, we were fortunate enough to enjoy a month in the foodie paradise of Penang, Malaysia after a month enjoying the wonderful beach of Koh Lanta (read: Koh Lanta destination report) and Koh Lipe in Thailand. We traded the ocean for the table and tasted some of the best food in Southeast Asia!

With nearly 1.5M Travel Rewards points accumulated by end of 2020 (worth $20,000 in redemption) are we sitting on useless money during a pandemic?
In this blog post, we will give you a quick introduction to travel rewards before digging into how many rewards we accumulated in 2020, which credit cards we opened, how much money we saved by redeeming these precious points and what our plans are for 2021!
In this blog post, I go over the book Super Human by Dave Asprey. I discuss what the book is about, what is my takeaway from it, and the specific action items I implemented after reading it.

Maybe you should then consider reading Super Human!

We spent $7,300 in cash + 112,000 airlines points in booking we had to cancel due to COVID19.
