Hear about my exhilarating journey through the Balinese jungles on ATVs, a must-try experience for thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts. I enjoyed a day full of scenic beauty and challenging trails.

Ubud, with its stunning rice fields and culture, a place where you see monkeys swinging freely. It’s also the home of my co-living, where I meet folks from across the world in shared spaces that offer co-working areas and a lively community.

As I prepare to leave Ubud for my next destination, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of group coaching and Q&A sessions, for those looking to transition into a location-independent lifestyle.

Listen and learn more about my adventures, insights, and cost breakdowns of my recent experiences.
