We asked him about his lifestyle and journey, as well as which city he would happily relocate to and why did he travelled to Colombia in 2015.
This is how I pick my destinations: For me, I’m on a journey to every country in the world, so I work in regions: a year in South America, a year in West Africa etc
The biggest surprise so far: Budapest, I love it, I would happily relocate there!
How do you stay healthy when you travel?
To be honest, I don’t! I find it really difficult, sleeping patterns are crazy, skipping meals, partying… I use my time in Thailand, where I’m based, to get healthy when I’m not on the road!
5 memorable trips:
- Chiang Mai 2007: Teaching English in Northern Thailand taught me that living a different lifestyle was possible. It changed my life
- Sydney 2009: My only ‘real job’ during this crazy trip around the world, beautiful city with amazing friends
- Rio 2014: World Cup Final tickets in a beautiful city, amazing
- Bangkok 2010: I took a leap of faith with my blog and set up my life here, never looked back since
- Medellin, Colombia 2015: Studying Spanish in Colombia for a month with good friends, late nights and late mornings, brilliant time!
5 places to visit:
- Lalibela, Ethiopia: this place should be a world wonder, churches dug into the rock in the ground, beautiful and untouched.
- Samarkand, Uzbekistan: The Silk Route that you dreamed of, the architecture and atmosphere here is from another world
- Zhangjiajie national park, China: the ‘Avatar mountains’ were the inspiration behind James Cameron’s floating mountains in the movie, and you can see the ‘wow’ factor, gorgeous place
- Phu Chi Fah, Thailand: Thailand’s best sunrise spot will blow your mind, on the mountains on the border with Thailand and Laos, it’s a 3am start to get there, but it’s worth it!
- Masaai Mara: A Safari in East Africa, with the wild animals and local tribes, is what travel is all about.
My favorite rooftop bar: Above Eleven, Bangkok. In a party area, easy to access and stunning city views, I love this place!
