Hello everyone,
Here is the first South East Asia Update with the goal to inform you about the life abroad. I will try my best to share with you insider-secrets about what we all want secretly: Having more time, more money and more life quality.
For those who don’t know me yet:
My name is Ronald and left my old life behind me to travel in South East Asia. I travel very light, all what I have with me is a 7 kg backpack that is suitable as hand luggage in every plane. It is very minimalistic way to travel and still I have everything with me that I need.
My last 9-5 corporate job lasted 2 years and 8 months.
Sitting every day in the office andstarring for 8 hours at the computer screen was a torture. My mood was getting worse day by day, I became depressed and burned out.
I knew that I would like to travel and see the world again and I started to save money for this goal. By the end of 2013 I had enough money to be able to live, travel and pay my bills without a job for at least 6 months. Then I just quit the job and now I am in the sunny Thailand. Now I have enough time to travel and to think about what I would like to do next. I know already that a boring 9 5 Job in an office will not do it for me.
I am writing this newsletter to inspire you to work on your dreams, whatever it might be, to travel the world, to spend more time with your family or to have a better life-style – everything is possible if you believe in it and if you work on your goals.
At the moment I am in Koh Samui and enjoying the warm weather and the fantastic beaches here. My bungalow is located directly on the beach, a few meters from the water (see photo).
After waking up in the morning I go for a swim before having breakfast in one of the Thai restaurants. The food is great and should satisfy everyone.
My tipp: If you will be in Thailand, try to get used to the Thai cooking and avoid the western food. Pizza, burger and spaghetti will cost here up to 10 times more than Thai dishes. If you are going to McDonalds in Thailand then you could stay at home as well.
Please excuse the long intro, the next articles will be only about the events and experiences here in South East Asia. The next article is coming on the 1
st February, probably from Hua Hin which is a very attractive city and should be a paradise for golf players.
Take care,
Ronald
