Not All Digital Nomads

The arrogance of this post-pandemic digital nomad isn’t doing the world any favours. — Digital nomads aren’t making many friends. This is because this new(ish) wave of workers (the OG digital nomads that were digital nomading teaching English to Chinese kids, for example, before the pandemic, this isn’t for you) want you (and themselves) to believe that they have smugly outsmarted the system, pioneering…

Looking for Home

Why I Won’t Travel For Longer Than A Month — Even Though I Can

When the digital nomad decides to hang up her backpack. — I am part of the remote working crowd. I got in there before COVID and before the whole Marie Kondo minimalism ‘get rid of anything that doesn’t give you joy’ mantra came along.

How single people’s time gets treated as a lower value commodity. — Time. It affects us all. It is something that we can all relate to. I’m not going to get all existential with asking: what is time? But, I think everyone can agree we do not like our time to be wasted. Right? …

Living with My Little Bum in Brazil

How Brazil changed how I treat my body. — I’ve always cared about my appearance. Not in an altogether vain way but perhaps teetering on the edge. In the UK, I cared a lot about fashion. I lived in London, and what was currently in trend was thrown in your face daily. …
