Playing in the Philippines

For the past several years, I've employed people in the Philippines to help me run my business, including programmers, customer support staff, marketers, content writers, and virtual assistants. But I had never met any of them in person, or even spoken to them on the phone. All our correspondence was via email or chat, and lately, via managers I've hired. I was looking forward to finally meeting ... Read More

One of our blog readers recently requested to hear Jennifer's perspective on raising young children abroad, along with some tips she's learned in the process. The following post is her reply. Raising our young children abroad for the past three years has been more of a catalyst for learning than I ever would have imagined, and my expectations were already quite high to begin with. It's...

Codependent in Hong Kong

It's been another intense month for me, digging through the recesses of my soul, questioning what I want in life and relationships, and breaking through more barriers that have been holding me back from being myself. I also took a solo business trip to Hong Kong for a few days, and have been working more on building my business structure and systems to handle new growth. I'll tie it all together i... Read More

Gili Islands and Lombok

Living on a beautiful island like Bali doesn't mean that life is always a vacation. We get into routines, meet with friends, take classes, work, and study. I recently gave a piano concert at my house (so much fun!) and the kids are learning and creating much in homeschool. We enjoy our live... Read More

Silence

Silence is blissful, distressing, revealing, and difficult to maintain. You may have noticed I haven't written on this blog for over a month. I think that's the longest I've ever gone. I've also been posting less on Facebook and Twitter. When we decided to settle in Bali, I wanted the next year to be one of contemplation, inner growth, and self-discovery. (Yes, even more than usual.) The deeper... Read More

Festivals and Friends

I'm so glad we decided to extend our Thai visas and stick around for all the festivals at the end of November. Not only did we get to participate in some amazing events, we got to do it all with dear friends: two families we already knew, and several other traveling families who we met for the first time. The week started off with a traditional American Thanksgiving meal at the Art Cafe, comple... Read More

Exploring Chiang Mai

We had heard that Chiang Mai had a similar vibe to Ubud, and it some ways, we found that it does. We loved the food in Chiang Mai, and looked forward to every meal. There were several health-conscious restaurants in the Old Town within walking distance of our hotel. Great markets, musical and dance performances, and fun activities left plenty to do there. But like Thailand's capital city of Bangko... Read More

5 Life Lessons Learned From Traveling

No decision has had a greater impact on our lives than the decision to sell everything, leave home, and travel together as a family. We've never been happier, felt closer together, and enjoyed our experiences and relationships so thoroughly as we do right now. This month, as part of a group writing project with other traveling families, I'm going to attempt to share some of the life lessons I've l... Read More

Highlights of Bangkok Thailand

We recently had a wonderful week in Bangkok, and kept busy with plenty of fun activities. Here are the highlights: Thai Food I'm in love with Thai food! Ever since we got to Thailand, I've been eating curry at least once every day. The taste and quality vary with each restaurant, but my favorites so far have been the red curry and masaman curry. I also enjoy the green and yellow curries... Read More

Recent Activities in Bali

We first came to Bali over six months ago, and are now feeling quite settled, despite leaving every month or two to renew our visas. We've developed some routines, made some friends, and gotten a bit busy with life. And we absolutely love it here! Every day is an adventure in some way, but we like to get out and do different things every once in a while. Here are some of the more noteworthy act... Read More
