Being a travel blogger is amazing, but at times it can be kinda crazy. I was tear gassed in Chile, and now I’m dealing with the Coronavirus here in Cambodia.

How’s it affecting everything? Mostly it hasn’t changed the country. I flew in and they had an extra form to fill in about if I had been to any dodgy or banned countries. That’s about it. To be honest the movie theater had tighter…

My home city of Edmonton, Alberta is a great city, but it’s not a great flight hub.

Are you TOO stupid to retire cheap in a different country?

Do you know people who are envious of your plans to retire cheap?

On one hand, they say things like “Wouldn’t it be great if I could retire?” And on the other hand they say “$500, pshaw who wants that….that’s like coffee for a month or two.” (I’m not even kidding, these people spend $300 a month at Starbucks….and don’t see why they can’t save enough to retire).

These people are idiots. They are…

It’s 2020! Let’s look at the top places to retire cheap!

For me there are some definite must haves:

3. Tasty food. Seriously, I love eating!

4. Good Wifi.…

Where’s the best place to stay in Quito, Ecuador?

I’ve stayed in hostels and Air BnB’s all over the world. Some of them pretty good and some pretty darn sketchy.

I’m always happy discovering new places to live, but the BEST part of being a digital nomad is RETURNING to a favorite city!

What makes a city great for me, is the combination of culture, gyms, food and Wifi.

Before I head to a strange city, I’m always like, “Hmmmn, what’s the Wifi…

Cusco, Aguas Calientes and Ollytantambo: 5 quick tips

The big three towns on your way to see Machu Picchu!

How do they stack up? Could you retire there?

First of all, out of the three towns I personally liked Aguas Calientes the best.

It’s surprisingly cheaper that’s Cusco.

I liked the very touristy feel of it. Cusco has just as many tourists, or even more, but it was more spread out, and less walkable.

Ollytantambo is the most expensive of the 3,…
