Currently I'm in Chiang Mai, Thailand and writing this blog from our temporary accommodation near the Night Bazaar.
I'm with my partner and we're doing a mixture of both travelling and vacationing—see the difference explained here— in countries around Southeast Asia (mostly).
Why? We decided to take a break from the corporate ladder, and try to reset our nervous systems. Learning, wellness, routine, reading, exercising, researching, boredom, and finding new possibilities for what work could look like. We saved up and then finally stopped delaying our plans for an overseas experience.
I want to "chase the thread", I want to be free to choose which threads to pull i.e. what projects to pursue, and I'm giving myself 6-months testing this idea to discover if it's something that I truly want, or if it's something I thought I wanted. The grass can be greener sometimes...
I want to learn how AI tooling can better serve both myself and others, I want to experience new cultures and learn new things in general.
I'll focus in order of priority:
And overall, I want to share this experience with others.
