Oh hello fellow traveller

Hi, I’m Ramon! I created this blog to share my passion for travel, digital nomadism, and everything in between. It’s my little space to document experiences, insights, and tips, and I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy sharing them. More?

What You’re Reading Here

This blog is free ofAI-fluff, clickbait, ads and popups.

What you will find here are long-form pieces written to share real experiences and useful insights. Some topics deserve more than a skim, and I trust my readers can handle depth.

If you’re after quick lists and shortcuts, AI can serve those for you elsewhere.

If you enjoy my writing and the various publications on this website are helpful to you, consider buying me a coffee. Your support will be so much appreciated!
