A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how important it is for digital nomads to free your mind from daily hassles so you can do your work. It is vital that you don’t have to think about the location of the supermarket or where to get your next shot of caffein. It’s only then when the real work can be done. However, your mind can be free and you can have all the coffee[…]
Today it has been exactly eight weeks since we exchanged our life in Holland for a life like digital nomadz and it seemed about time to share some of our experiences about ‘working abroad’ with you. In the coming period we will anser questions like: How do you make money in Latin America and how do you stay in touch with your customers, friends and family at home? And also, how do you ensure that[…]
Imagine you are in a city and you hear those typical city noises: car horns, traffic and people talking. Now imagine that you are standing on a mountain and all you can see around you are houses and roads, everywhere you look. And imagine that all these sounds are blended in one general sound (or noise) mixed with the sound of salsa music and the smell of mexican food. Welcome to Mexico City! This city is[…]

As a society, we have cocooned ourselves. Every day we are rushing from one goal or target to the next. And while working on one thing, we are already thinking about the next thing to check off on our list. We are so much engaged in this whole process that we often forget to actually look around, listen to our heart and enjoy the journey we took to get where we are today. With this[…]
Yesterday we had to travel from Caye Caulker (Belize) to Palenque (Mexico) to visit the Maya ruins. Because of the fact that there are a lot of ways to do this, we took some time to figure out our route. We could have made some very different decisions but for some reason we decided: - to take the boat to San Pedro (instead of Belize City) - to hang around in San Pedro for a[…]
Earth continues to show us her most precious places if we know where to look. As long as they will be preserved on our overcrowded planet, we are able to visit them. With love we present a series called Wonders of Nature. Special places in Central and South America that should be on anyones wish list to visit. As long as they are still here.. The Great Blue Hole Off the coast of caribbean kick[…]
We were staying in Playa del Carmen (very american and pretty expensive) and learned our first valuable backpacking lesson: Never leave your luggage unattended! We were checking out of our hotel (Maya Bric) early in the morning and had to wait until 23.40 before our night bus to Belize would depart. So we asked the lady at the reception if we could leave our bags in the lobby (there were already some bags stalled). ‘No[…]
‘Saying goodbye and saying hello are more related than one might think..’ This beautiful line was sent to us by Saskia (diana’s sister), written on a card and attached to a small heart.. Our hearts felt small and heavy these last few days before our final goodbyes, you could see right through us..Nonetheless, saying goodbye to something means saying hello to something else. Closing one door means opening another. We chose to close the door[…]
