32 Thoughts in my first month as a Digital Nomad

I’m sitting writing this post on my iPhone waiting to board a flight at the Hanoi airport in northern Vietnam. It is officially my 4th week living in Vietnam and in a few days I head to Bali. I packed up my bags and left the U.S. in a matter of 3 quick weeks and have embarked on a journey to Southeast Asia. Currently I have enough packed for my 3 month trip, but I plan to travel & work remotely for the next year.

Here are 32 thoughts I’ve had during my new journey.

1. I think I’ll work from the beach today
2. This beer costs $1?
