In this article, we share our 3-day itinerary where we explore part of the lovely east coast of Taiwan by bike! We cover where we went, where we stopped, how we rented our bikes, how much we spent and everything we learn along the way!
Do you ever feel busy but not productive? Do you easily say yes simply to please & without really thinking about it? Do you wonder: “Why did I sign up for this?”. Maybe you should then consider reading Essentialism!
In this article, I will be going over the book from Greg McKeown that I read in March 2020. I discuss what the book is about, what is my take away from it, and the specific action items I implemented in 2020 after reading it.
In this article, we will cover one of them: the countryside town of Houbi and share the itinerary we took as it is really worth visiting if you have the opportunity to visit Taiwan.
Jeremy, Winnie, Julian, & Jaiden are the family at GoCurryCracker.com. Jeremy quit working about 8 years ago to travel the world and have kids. Julian just turned 5 and has been to 42 countries. Jaiden was born in early August 2020.
In this interview you will learn how Jeremy retired early, what does a typical day in his life look like for him today vs before, what inflection point led him to decide to change his life trajectory, what were some of the limiting beliefs that hold him back, how much he spent per year and so much more!
In this post, I will be answering the most common questions we have been getting through our nomadic journey (so far!) as well as giving you some insights into what a day in our lives looks like as full-time slow travelers.
This Thailand-based, mixed nationality family has decided to raise their children outside of their own cultures. Joe was born in California and Ayie was born in the Philippines. They met in Bangkok during Ayie’s birthday present to herself: a solo holiday to Thailand. They married in 2015 and have two young boys. For the last two decades, Joe has had a job in what he considers the best, most fulfilling field in the world: international humanitarian assistance. This has led to an extremely nomadic lifestyle. Ayie grew up in Mindanao, Philippines. She is a nurse by training, a professional photographer specializing in lifestyle and portrait photography, and a stay at home mom.
As far as their approach to life as a family, they try to live simply and prioritize experiences over possessions. They also try to live life with meaning and purpose in mind, hope to impact the world positively, and incorporate giving and service into our lives. While they are taking inspiration from the FIRE movement, they know they are not promised tomorrow – they don’t want to be so driven by their financial goals that they don’t enjoy the adventures along the way. Their mid-term masterplan: aggressively save enough to be able to take at least a year off to slow travel while worldschooling their kids.
If you’ve been reading our blog, you know how much we love numbers and since we ourselves enjoy reading about others’ blog income, we thought we would share our blog income if you’re curious and considering starting your own.
In this article we explain how we monetize our blog, what works, what doesn’t and how much we made in the third quarter of 2020 (which covers the period from 7/1/2020 to 9/30/2020).
What does life looks like ‘stuck’ in Taiwan during the pandemic? Strange but wonderful and we are very grateful for being currently in Taiwan during these unprecedented times.
In this post we are doing a recap of what we’ve done in July 2020 while most of the world is still battling with the coronavirus.
As you will see Taipei have been keeping us busy, offering us many sights and activities to practice. Are you ready to discover what Taipei has to offer during the pandemic?
Gigi is a writer and content strategist who has been on the road for over eight years. She originally from the US, though she spend most of her time in Europe these days. She has been truly nomadic, with no home base, for most of that time, though she has also had long-stay visas in both Switzerland and Estonia (where her partner and herself are currently loosely based) for at least a year each.
She is also an outdoorsy foodie, an advocate of slow travel, and a nomad with a dog in tow (yep, you read that right: her Yorkie-Schnauzer mix Luna has been to something like 30 countries now). So usually you’ll find her staying in one place for anywhere from one to six months and spending my non-working time hiking, cycling, browsing fresh markets, and seeking out a location’s best food, all with a little dog at her heels or in my dog-carrier backpack.
In this interview you will learn how Gigi cope with depression, what does a typical day in her life look like for her today vs before, what inflection point led you to decide to change your life trajectory, what were some of the limiting beliefs that hold her back, how much she spent per year and so much more!
