Most Days
Because I am able to travel quite a bit, it sometimes looks like I don’t have to work a whole lot. If only this was true. I end up spending a minimum of 4 hours a day in front of a computer, 7 days a week. Most days I spend a full 8+ hours. The [...]

Change of Plans – No Costa Rica In January
I had been planning to take off to Costa Rica sometime in January and do another month long stay like the one I did a few months ago in Mexico, but it looks like those plans have to be changed. The main reason is the new blog I started about a month ago – Penny [...]

House Sitting For This Week
I’m spending this week house sitting which is a pretty good way to earn some extra money when you are a digital nomad. The fact is that I am going to be spending the majority of my day in front of my computer working, so it doesn’t matter where I do it. If I am [...]

Kauai Water Spout
We saw signs for a water spout called Spouting Horn a couple of miles from the place where we were staying and decided that it would be a good walk for one of the days were were there. The walk scenery varied along the way, but some portions were beautiful: When the path met the [...]

Kauai Evening Stroll
These photos were taken the first night we arrived in Kauai. When we took our evening walk, we ran into a sea lion resting on the beach: As can be seen, I was still feeling the effects of the plane ride over: But the sunset didn’t disappoint…

Kauai Sunset
After a long day of hiking and (unfortunately) working on the computer, you might think that a relaxing evening inside would be the plan. You would be thinking this until you looked out the window and realized that you would miss sunsets like this each evening if you didn’t take walks along the beach… Let’s [...]

Hiking Trail Slasher
Dad and I decided to head to Waimea Canyon for one afternoon to do some hiking. The Waimea Canyon drive is beautiful and is well worth the drive even if you don’t decide to do any hiking. We drove to just before the end of the canyon road to the Kalalau Lookout down the Kalalau [...]

Kauai Snorkeling and Boat Ride
One of the best aspects of being your own boss in combination with being a digital nomad is that if the day is perfect, you can take advantage of it. That is exactly what I did with a boat tour to see the Napali coast of Kauai and snorkeling. As we headed to the Napali [...]

Hoopii Waterfall Hike
I took a break from work this morning and decided to take a hike to the Ho’opi’i waterfalls in Kauai, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.
