Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.

This is a very challenging time to be a digital nomad and expat living in a foreign country. The majority of my traveler friends have already returned to their home countries. I chose to take an unconventional counterculture approach by remaining in “The Land Of Smiles”.

Greetings from Koh Tao, a paradise island off the coast of Southern Thailand! I will officially get my SSI diving certification on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, and then plan to continue exploring the island for another few days, catch a boat/bus combo back to Krabi, and hop on a quick flight to Chiang Mai. I can legally stay in Thailand until February 26th which allows just over a week to check out Chiang Mai and make the famous drive on a motorbike to Chiang Pai featuring stunning views and 762 switchback curves.
