South East Asia Newsletter # 1
Hello
everyone,
Here is the
first South East Asia Newsletter with the goal to inform you about the life
abroad. I will try my best to share with you insider-secrets about what we all
want secretly: Having more time, more money and more life quality.
For those
who don’t know me yet: I am Ron and left my old life behind me to travel in
South East Asia. I travel very light, all what I have with me is a 7 kg
backpack that is suitable as hand luggage in every plane. It is very
minimalistic way to travel and still I have everything with me that I need.
My last 9-5
corporate job lasted 2 years and 8 months. Sitting every day in the office and
starring for 8 hours at the computer screen was a torture. My mood was getting
worse day by day, I became depressed and burned out.
I knew that
I would like to travel and see the world again and I started to save money for
this goal. By the end of 2013 I had enough money to be able to live, travel and
pay my bills without a job for at least 6 months. Then I just quit the job and
now I am in the sunny Thailand. Now I have enough time to travel and to think
about what I would like to do next. I know already that a boring 9-5 Job in an
office will not do it for me.
I am
writing this newsletter to inspire you to work on your dreams, whatever it
might be, to travel the world, to spend more time with your family or to have a
better life-style – everything is possible if you believe in it and if you work
on your goals.
At the
moment I am in Koh Samui and enjoying the warm weather and the fantastic
beaches here. My bungalow is located directly on the beach, a few meters from
the water (see photo).
After
waking up in the morning I go for a swim before having breakfast in one of the
Thai restaurants. The food is great and should satisfy everyone.
My tipp: If
you will be in Thailand, try to get used to the Thai cooking and avoid the
western food. Pizza, burger and spaghetti will cost here up to 10 times more
than Thai dishes. If you are going to McDonalds in Thailand then you could stay
at home as well.
Please
excuse the long intro, the next articles will be only about the events and
experiences here in South East Asia. The next article is coming on the 1st
February, probably from Hua Hin which is a very attractive city and should be a
paradise for golf players.
Take care,
Supernomad
