1. Travel Adapter → We travel with many gadgets, including laptops, cameras, and phones. Recently, we tested the Tessan AERO 70 and have really loved what Tessan has created. Tessan knows that modern travelers don’t need more power—they need a smarter, lighter, and more reliable way to stay connected abroad. Inspired by real traveler frustrations […]
467 We recently spent a few days in Muna, an island in Sulawesi that has some great caves, lakes, and natural sinkholes. Most people visit Muna in conjunction with Buton, its neighboring island. They’re well connected by a short ferry ride, so it’s easy to go back and forth between the two islands. The blue […]
There are a lot of eSIM companies in the world. They all work a similar way: you download their app, pick your package, install the eSIM into your smartphone, and off you go. There’s many I like. But one I like more than the rest is Holafly and I’ve been using their eSIMs for years. […]
67 If you’re planning your first trip to China, Shanghai is a great place to start. We went there recently and really enjoyed it. Even though it’s the biggest city in China, and a global center of business and technology, it’s also very tourist-friendly and easy to get around. Shanghai is loaded with great food […]
If you’re a digital nomad or a location-independent business owner, you’re either overpaying for fragmented insurance coverage (travel, medical, etc.) or just badly underinsured. You have a health plan, travel insurance, and maybe some medical evacuation coverage. But, when you work for yourself, you lack the kind of safety net protections you get with a […]

I’m always impressed by how they keep all these plants alive and beautiful when I struggle with the few I have. Bellagio has 120 gardeners alone, and then you add in the designers, engineers, […]
110 We just spent a week on Bangka island, the neighbor and bigger brother of Belitung island in Sumatra. Bangka is more than two times the size of Bali or Belitung, and it has lots of nice beaches with white sand, granite boulders, and no tourists. We didn’t see a single foreign tourist the whole […]
Balancing travel and remote work will always be one of the biggest challenges on the road. When you’re a digital nomad, it’s always a struggle to balance sightseeing and also get your work done in a nice, quiet environment. No one wants to spend hours searching for a coffee shop or be in one that […]
Heading to Skiathos and Skopelos? These are all the Mamma Mia movie locations in Greece. This past summer, Mari and I were dreaming up a girls’ trip to some of Greece’s lesser-known islands with Star Clippers. When we told Aishah we had never seen Mamma Mia, the ultimate celebration of girlhood and Greek wanderlust, she […]
102 The Na Pali coast on Kauai is probably the most beautiful coastline in the world, and there’s no better way to see it than by air. I’ve always wanted to fly over Kauai in a helicopter with the doors off, and last week it finally happened! I joined Jack Harter Helicopters on a 1 […]
