Hi, I’m Joel.
This is my corner of the internet where I document three main things: travel, life experiments, and honest reflections about what it really takes to build a life with more freedom.
I’m not a full-time influencer, a luxury nomad, or a “quit your job and move to Bali” cliché. I’m just someone who’s obsessed with testing ideas in the real world—moving between countries, changing cities, working online, and seeing what actually works instead of what sounds good on social media.
On this blog, you’ll find:
- Travel stories from the road – the good, the frustrating, and the unexpected.
- Real numbers – rough costs, trade-offs, and what it really takes to live in different places.
- Life experiments – habits, systems, and mindset shifts I’m testing to create more time, freedom, and location flexibility.
- Honest reflections – what goes on behind the scenes: doubts, missteps, course corrections, and small wins.
If you’re curious about travel, thinking of relocating, or just trying to design a life that feels more yours, you might find something here that helps—whether it’s a story, a breakdown of costs, or simply the reassurance that you’re not the only one questioning the default script.
I don’t have everything figured out. This blog is me thinking out loud, sharing what I’m learning as I go. If that sounds useful or relatable, you’re in the right place.
