I’m currently typing this blog post from my hostel on Koh Lanta, an island off the coast of Krabi, Thailand. I arrived here a few hours ago via speedboat, checked into Hub of Joys Hostel, and immediately walked straight to Long Beach just a stone’s throw away. I’m only 33 years young and often feel like I’m semi-retired even though I have less than $2,000 in my bank account. It’s unnecessary to be a millionaire to fulfill your dreams of traveling the world. I truly believe richness is a state of mind.
I’m excited to meet with a recruiter at Airbnb and take a tour of their corporate office in Singapore on January 23rd. This moment has been a long time in the making with lots of personal outreach, lead generation, persistence, and sweat equity. Although I don’t particularly want to live in this expensive metropolis, this will be a great opportunity to finally get my foot in the door at a company at the top of my list of places to work. I’m really interested in a full-time remote marketing or freelance photography position at Airbnb.
Traveling around Bali for 2 glorious months was the adventure of a lifetime! Let me know if you would like any recommendations for your upcoming trip and I would be happy to share advice of places to visit. I highly recommend renting a motorbike, the most common form of transportation on the island, and riding around to waterfalls, beaches, Hindu temples, famous rice terraces, the monkey forest in Ubud, and coworking spaces if you want to mix business into your vacation.
