My BTC Hong Kong story πŸ‡­πŸ‡°β€¦ I noticed that this event was coming up at the same time as our visa run was due. so on day 1, I sat up the front to catch @jb55 and then my boss talk on the main stage. I waved to my boss when he walked out. Later, I found out one of the team thought I was a crazy stalker lady πŸ€£πŸ˜€πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜† I promise I’m not a crazy stalker lady, but sometimes I’m very excited to be around epic people. πŸ˜… Now the conference is done. βœ… I’m tired. All in all, it was a great experience. I saw a lot of people I’ve met in Asia. I also met some new Bitcoiner friends. I’m excited for the rest of the year and maybe even a bit more traveling to new places 🀩 Chiang Mai in late October might be a good choice?! 😍

2012 days = 66 months. 66 months of seeing new places (and a lot of old). Two laps around the world. 🏝 From Aussie, to NZ, to Vietnam which became home during the times of lockdowns. A book has to be written about that (working title, Freedom in the time of Lockdowns). No option to go back to NZ, so on to Turkey, Greece, then Spain for the birth of Manaia. A year of settled life and learning language. Then on to Bulgaria, back to Vietnam, then in and out between Vietnam and Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos. Then tiredness kicked in and we returned to NZ to stay long term for the first time since 2011. It wasn't meant to be. I got spoiled with a one week trip to NYC, USA - a dream I had since 2010 βœ… Then back off around the world, Malaysia, Spain, UK, a Trans-Atlantic Cruise (didn't see that coming), The Azores, British Virgin Islands, St Marteen, Antigua and Barbuda, Martinique, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Panama, USA (LA for a two night stop over), Japan (Tokyo and Osaka)... Back to Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia. Wow, wow, wow. 🀩 If you asked me in 2009 what my life would look like - let's just say I had a pretty depressing outlook back then. I had to do some deep digging to draw out my dreams, and this is my dream. πŸͺ„ Never, ever be afraid to dream. It's so so worth it. Not necessarily something they teach in schools. But they should. You are manifesting every moment of your life. Your attitude = your altitude. Get out that notebook and dream big impossible, wild, limitless dreams. Now for my next big dreams under construction. Helping others to make their big dreams become their reality. #worldschool #digitalnomad #family

Hey #nostr πŸ‘‹ Who might be in Hong Kong towards the end of August? πŸ‘€ I haven’t been taking many photos lately. I’m working really hard to rebuild an oldish website I had that I wasn’t super happy with. Hopefully, in the not too distant future I’ll be able to hang out here much more often 🀩 In the meantime here’s a sunset from probably last month #anbang #hoian #vietnam #digitalnomad #family image

Just dropping by to say hello πŸ‘‹ We’ve had a wild six months, bouncing from Dominican Republic, to Colombia, to Panama, to USA, to Japan, back to Vietnam, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and now settled into Vietnam a while. As usual, I’m tired, working and just keeping life going. How’s nostr life? 😍 image

Fell off the posting wagon sorry nostr πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Anyways, since Dominican Republic, we spent a week in Colombia, a night in Panama, a couple of days in LA & now we're in Japan 🀩 Japan is cold. Probably the wrong time of year to go sight seeing with small children who love the tropical weather. We've spent half our time here shopping for winter clothes 🀣 Anyways. I'm still here. Just distracted or trying to focus and not getting anywhere. I want to write my books. Just maxed out with #mumlife, work, and #travel life. Books are my exit strategy. Getting the energy to write and be in the creative mindset is my wall right now. I will break through. Just may take a little bit. How are you all? πŸ“Έ My favourite door in Cartagena, January 2025 😍 image

I feel like it's almost time to write some books again... Miss M is starting to sleep a lot better. But now comes the hard bit. Do I write about Worldschooling in general? Our travel during 2020/21? General travel stories? Some of my ideas about life? Or my fiction piece based in 2071? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Hmmm. There may also be other books I started too. πŸ˜… What would you read about? πŸ¦‹βœˆοΈπŸ’œ image
