about
Former island-dweller who has transitioned to a digital nomad life and documenting the journey along the way. Opinionated content on the future of work, followed by occasional content about my ultramarathon attempts, my pug and my bang-average landscape photography.

Note: I sometimes use affiliate links in my content, but it does not influence what I talk about. Affiliate links can provide a “kick-back” to the author if you make a purchase and it helps with the running costs of this website.
