A lot of people have asked us about how we are making money while we are travelling. And our answer always was: we don’t know yet, it is one big experiment and we are still learning whether it is luck or our talents that bring us our jobs. Of course we had some ideas but we wanted to have tested our own ideas thoroughly before sharing them here with you. Today, after almost 20 months[…]
Merida is a city located in the Yucatan province of Mexico. It is a big city with a small colonial-style center and it gets very hot (37-38 degrees Celcius) year round. Our visit to Merida was one of the most exiting from a ‘city camping‘ point of view. Before arriving in Merida, we looked up the lay-out of the city and found several big-size swimming pools throughout the city. Finding a swimming pool open to[…]
The last few months we have been trying to decide where we would go after our great time in San Cristobal de las Casas. Because we finally have all the paperwork for the car arranged it was really tempting to go into Guatemala for the first time with the bus. But since we are flying home in only a few weeks we decided to stay in Mexico and pick on of the spots we love[…]
Triathlon: Important part of our digital nomad lifestyle is to be fit, both mentally and physically. Training and participating in triathlon events during our travels is something we both love to do. Steven coming from an athletics background (400m) and Diana from mountain biking. Central America is a paradise for those who like to run trail or on the road, swim in open water and bike incredible climbs few ever saw before. We write about[…]
On May 11th, a dream will come true: training for a triathlon while traveling the world is one thing, participating in one is the next level! And we are ready for our first one!! We have picked our first triathlon in Stevens hometown Enschede, the Netherlands as our first. During the UT Triathlon we will both do a sprint triathlon: which means 500 meter swim, 18.5 km bike and 5.2 km run. Not that far[…]

The end of the 9-5 focus on productivity During our first fifteen months living like digital nomadz one of the things that struck us is that, after college graduation, we’re only allowed a couple years of ‘experimental wiggle room’. And when those years are over we’re supposed to semi-permanently stay put. We’re supposed to stop vagabonding through life. We’re supposed to sit down and shut up. In this day and age, staying put in one’s[…]
One of our good friends, Petra Groenenboom, is a great sports physician that provides top notch medical care and guidance to (top) athletes in the Netherlands. She was looking for a fresh and professional website that would be easy to use and maintain and would help new clients find her online and book appointments in her medical practice. We created for her this website and are very proud of the result!! Details of the website:[…]

He has routes for beginners and experts, youngsters and elderly, from cultural to adventures. He knows a lot about mountainbiking but not so much about internet. We decided to help him[…]
