Last year I made a 7,5-month overland trip through the African continent. I started off in Spain from where I took the ferry to Morocco. From here on I travelled along the west coast of Africa all the way to South Africa. After a few days of rest, I continued my journey to Nairobi in Kenya from where I had to fly home again. On this trip I also visited the famous Okavango Delta in Botswana where I did a walking safari.
If you’re planning on moving abroad, whether for the long term or the short term, you might find yourself drawn to Asia, where the cost of living is generally pretty cheap and jobs for English speakers tend to pay pretty well. However, if you’re headed to Asia from the West, you’ll find that there are differences in everything from food and etiquette to real estate and business.

Those are beautiful places, but if you prefer more nature and a nice quiet place, you should go to Hsipaw. Hsipaw is awesome and here are 3 reasons why.
{Inspiration} Hi! This post is from Jacob Laukaitis. He’s a digital nomad, meaning he can work from anywhere as long as he has his computer and a Wi-Fi, he travels 9-10 months every year. In the last 2 years he visited more than 30 countries and spent most of his time in Asia.
Inspiration: Travel video Myanmar. This year I went to Myanmar and got some advice of friend and videographer Inge Bouw. She was so happy to tell everything about Myanmar. On that moment I still had to go there and thought it would be nice. But on that same moment I couldn’t know that Myanmar was that special! Later I saw a video of Inge about Myanmar. Absolutely stunning!
