On this week's Just the Tip, we're taking you along a 2-day, overnight jungle trek through Chang Mai, Thailand. You'll feel like you are backpacking with us as we hike through the jungle to Thai villages, marvel at waterfalls, and swim through rivers on this epic journey!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trip Itineraries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Storefront ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and contact us at travelsquadpodcast@gmail.com to submit a question of the week or inquire about guest interviews and advertising.

 This means we should be start with something new without knowing the next steps. As the bible is saying: the next day provides for itself don't worry for the next day…/We all want security, because our mind is designed to protect us. And this is in the way to live an exciting or successful life. If we know everything in advance, life would be boring and even then we can't protect us. We need confidence and faith in ourselves and even better also in God… because we have only control over maybe 5% of our life!   As an engineer you can maybe exclude 50% of the mistakes, errors when you construct something new… the other 50% will showing up later, and even after the product is produced, again 10% of construction mistakes will show up. Best example is the MS Windows system… If this is so why we should be afraid to start something new, why we should have fear of failure? For what is perfectionisms good? Why we have fear to lose our face? Why we don't want to make the mistakes that are necessary to learn our lectures  in life?All the Security is just an illusion, if we live protected and don't risk much, even then nasty things, like accidents can happen.. I remember, when I was cycling home, it was raining and cold (November in Bremen)  I had to wait on a red traffic light. The traffic light turned green and the car driver ignored that. In the last moment I could stop and the girl behind me hit the car and flew through the air. Horrifying!!!What have we really under our control? So why we can't take the risk and start with something new and trust that we can do it. We don't need to know the path in the beginning. Imagine you are driving with the car in the night from Chang Mai to Phuket (1600km), you can see only 50m, still you belief that you arrive in Phuket.  When we decide to do it in anyway, then we get also the know how to do it… Just trust and life will be amazing.  My video: Decide before you know the path… https://youtu.be/PYAGOqTYYMMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.A/decide-before-you-know-the-path.mp3

O que é um nômade digital?Nômades Digitais são pessoas que trabalham online e podem viver em qualquer lugar desde que haja internet. Usualmente, os Nômades Digitais buscam ter flexibilidade de tempo, recursos e localização. Basicamente, isso quer dizer que eles podem usar o tempo como preferirem, seja aproveitando o dia com a família e trabalhando à noite, curtindo uma trilha pela manhã e trabalhando no período da tarde ou mesmo trabalhando "dia sim, dia não".Com relação aos recursos, eles não estão presos a um salário fixo. Se quiserem podem trabalhar mais para juntar recursos para um fim específico, ou trabalhar menos porque vão usar as economias por algum tempo para descansar e curtir a vida. Por fim, a flexibilidade de localização é a de poder escolher onde morar, com a possibilidade de viver viajando o mundo, ou ainda viver o conceito de mini-lives onde se mora por períodos em um determinado local como um nativo (ou um expatriado) e então, quando se cansa, muda-se para um novo lugar.Qual o perfil dos Nômades Digitais?Homens x mulheresSegundo uma pesquisa feita em 2021 com mais de 4000 entrevistados do site A Brother Abroad¹, quase metade dos Nômades Digitais são mulheres (49,81%). O que é bem interessante, já que sempre ouvimos que é mais perigoso para as mulheres viajarem sozinhas. Inclusive, se estiver pensando em viajar sozinha, dê uma conferida no episódio 9 do podcast.Faixa etáriaOs dados de faixa etária são bem interessantes também. Quem você suporia que compõe a maior parte dos nômades digitais? A maior parte deles são pessoas na casa dos 30 anos. O segundo maior grupo são as pessoas de 50 anos. É bem interessante ver que não são os recém-formados ou os aposentados que estão se arriscando a viver um estilo de vida diferente.Tempo na estradaEm média, os nômades digitais já estão viajando há 6 anos, sendo que 85% dos Nômades Digitais estão viajando a mais de 1 ano. É interessante notar que a maior parte dos respondentes disse que fica de 3 a 6 meses em um mesmo local. Na verdade, quando você escuta a história de alguns Nômades, você percebe que logo de cara todos querem viajar muito e conhecer diversos lugares, estão naquele frenesi de "aproveitar o tempo perdido". Com o tempo, percebe-se que o ritmo pode ser mais lento e se pode conhecer mais de cada local visitado, afinal, têm se a vida inteira para viajar como nômade, não é mesmo?DificuldadesMas nem tudo são rosas, a principal dificuldade encontrada pelos nômades é a solidão. É curioso que isso não é apenas um problema de Nômades Digitais, mas eu comentei sobre isso no 11º episódio e vários dos entrevistados do podcast comentaram que isso foi uma dificuldade. É sempre importante estarmos envolvidos em alguma comunidade, até mesmo encontrar outras pessoas da nossa nacionalidade pode ajudar na adaptação. Mudar constantemente de lugar e fazer novos amigos exige esforço e é fácil se sentir perdido em um novo lugar.RendaOs Nômades Digitais normalmente têm sua renda advinda de alguns setores como marketing, desenvolvimento de software, design, produtor de texto e e-commerce¹. A maior parte deles recebe seu salário de países com moedas fortes enquanto gastam seus recursos em moedas menos valorizadas - seja morando na Tailândia (Chang Mai é um local famosíssimo entre eles) ou na Indonésia (Bali é também uma ilha muito popular). Trabalhando dessa maneira, que também é conhecida como geoarbitragemSupport the show

Science and Art of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage: An Interview with Francie Winslow, Part 2   "Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge;" Isaiah 5:13 NKJV   Questions and Topics We Discuss: Will you elaborate on the science of sex? When two become one, what has God designed to occur at a hormonal level? What is your best list of benefits that come from a husband and wife connecting sexually on a regular basis?   Jesus captured Francie's heart at a young age, and she has been on an adventure following Him since then, fueled by a love for His word and His presence.   As a young woman Francie served in Mother Theresa's home for the dying in Kolkata, sat in brothels with girls trapped in the sex trade of Chang Mai, slept in the bush of Namibia to reach tribal people and orphans with the Gospel of Jesus, visited the homes of the poor in the Dominican Republic, and helped with the rebuilding and development of a village in Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami.   For the past few years, Francie has been focused on writing and speaking about God's good gift of intimacy in marriage.  She's been featured on Christianity Today's blog and Moody Radio, The Don't Mom Alone Podcast, and Java with Juli, and several others as she shares about the power of sex in marriage. Most recently, she's launched a podcast called Heaven in Your Home where she talks all about sex, marriage and the mission of God.   In it all, Francie is passionate about inviting others to experience God's tangible love that has the ability to transform every area of life.      Francie has a BA in Political Science and a Masters degree in Evangelism and Leadership from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Il.  She currently lives in the suburbs of Washington DC with her six kids and husband.    Francie Winslow's Website Francie Winslow's Podcast   Episodes with Dr. Michael Sytsma on The Savvy Sauce: Ten Common Questions About Sex, Shared Through a Biblical Worldview   Enjoying a God-Honoring, Healthy Sex Life with Your Spouse   Desire DIscrepancy in Marriage with Dr. Michael Sytsma   Remaining Sexually Engaged Through the Years with Dr. Michael Sytsma (Paying Patrons Only)   At The Savvy Sauce, we will only recommend resources we believe in!

Top Ten from 2021: #4 Sex in Marriage and Its Positive Effects: An Interview with Francie Winslow, Part 1   "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Philippians 2:3+4 NIV   Questions and Topics We Discuss: What has the Lord taught you about sexual intimacy within marriage?

In this episode of The Business of Antiques Toma Clark Haines - CEO of The Antiques Diva & Co and Angela Somwaiya owner of https://paulsantiques.com/ (Paul's Antiques) in Bangkok discuss Angela's journey as an American expat running an antiques store in Thailand.  Paul's Antiques is Bangkok's best antique shop popular among diplomats, expats, tourists and collectors. It's a veritable cornucopia of precious objects and furniture from South East Asia. Tucked in a quiet soi off bustling Sukhumvit, the store has an unparalleled collection of Burmese colonial pieces, Thai teak furniture, rare textiles, collectibles, and eclectic finds. Angela shares her story how she, as a Chicago native, adopted Thailand as her home and her decision to buy Paul's Antiques. She was raised shopping in flea markets and thrift stores in the USA so, when and her husband were decorating their Bangkok home, she frequented Paul's store to buy antiques. When she heard he was considering closing his store - she offered to buy it. This is a decision that changed her life. Paul's Antiques was founded in 1994 by Paul Vail, an American expat who settled in Thailand and fell in love with Burmese colonial teak furniture. Originally selling at exhibitions only, Angela and her husband were among Paul's first customers. Paul went on to revamp a 100-year-old teak house, which served as the first home for his vast eponymous collection complete with an in-house workshop for restorations and repairs. In 2008, Angela bought the business at its latest location in Sukhumvit Soi 13. She made her mark by expanding the collection to include pieces from all over Asia, such as lacquerware, statues, found-art, architectural salvage, and hard-to-find collectibles. She developed a revolutionary workshop and established a loyal customer base including some of Bangkok's most beloved hotels.  Holding a Bachelor's Degree in Japanese Studies and a Master's Degree in Thai Studies, Angela's passion for the cultural relevance of each object shines through when you inquire about a piece. Angela talks about the importance for antique dealers to know their inventory, understand the stories, and also relate their cultural significance. Educating her clients is at the core of Angela's business. Toma and Angela discuss Angela's decision to buy an established antiques store instead of starting her own business from scratch. They discuss the pros and cons of this situation -the pros involve optimized SEO, an established client list, and reputation; while the cons mean you have to set your own ego aside if the store is named after someone else. In the case of Angela, her store is named Paul's Antiques - so when clients walk in the door - they are looking for Paul.  Angela details how, as she gained confidence as an owner of the store, people stopped asking for Paul and began looking to her because they could see by her confidence that she is the proprietor. Toma tells a story of how Angela is the essence of confidence when she walks through (and drives!) through the streets of Bangkok. They discuss the thrill of the hunt detailing how to buy antiques in Asia. Why Bangkok, Chang Mai, and Bali are the best places to source antiques in Asia and encourage you to book an antique buying tour in Asia. Toma tells how she and Angela first met and why she asked Angela to be the head sourcing agent for her antique buying tours in Asia. They talk about what it means to be “ahead of the curve”. How being first in a market place is not always easy and they discuss the future of antiques. Spoiler alert: the future is so bright, you have to wear shades. Visit our sponsor, The British Shop!

 This means we should be start with something new without knowing the next steps. As the bible is saying: the next day provides for itself don't worry for the next day…/We all want security, because our mind is designed to protect us. And this is in the way to live an exciting or successful life. If we know everything in advance, life would be boring and even then we can't protect us. We need confidence and faith in ourselves and even better also in God… because we have only control over maybe 5% of our life!   As an engineer you can maybe exclude 50% of the mistakes, errors when you construct something new… the other 50% will showing up later, and even after the product is produced, again 10% of construction mistakes will show up. Best example is the MS Windows system… If this is so why we should be afraid to start something new, why we should have fear of failure? For what is perfectionisms good? Why we have fear to lose our face? Why we don't want to make the mistakes that are necessary to learn our lectures  in life?All the Security is just an illusion, if we live protected and don't risk much, even then nasty things, like accidents can happen.. I remember, when I was cycling home, it was raining and cold (November in Bremen)  I had to wait on a red traffic light. The traffic light turned green and the car driver ignored that. In the last moment I could stop and the girl behind me hit the car and flew through the air. Horrifying!!!What have we really under our control? So why we can't take the risk and start with something new and trust that we can do it. We don't need to know the path in the beginning. Imagine you are driving with the car in the night from Chang Mai to Phuket (1600km), you can see only 50m, still you belief that you arrive in Phuket.  When we decide to do it in anyway, then we get also the know how to do it… Just trust and life will be amazing.  My video: Decide before you know the path… https://youtu.be/PYAGOqTYYMMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.A/decide-before-you-know-the-path.mp3

Science and Art of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage, Part 2   "Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge;" Isaiah 5:13 NKJV   Questions and Topics We Discuss: Will you elaborate on the science of sex? When two become one, what has God designed to occur at a hormonal level? What is your best list of benefits that come from a husband and wife connecting sexually on a regular basis?   Jesus captured Francie's heart at a young age, and she has been on an adventure following Him since then, fueled by a love for His word and His presence.   As a young woman Francie served in Mother Theresa's home for the dying in Kolkata, sat in brothels with girls trapped in the sex trade of Chang Mai, slept in the bush of Namibia to reach tribal people and orphans with the Gospel of Jesus, visited the homes of the poor in the Dominican Republic, and helped with the rebuilding and development of a village in Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami.   For the past few years, Francie has been focused on writing and speaking about God's good gift of intimacy in marriage.  She's been featured on Christianity Today's blog and Moody Radio, The Don't Mom Alone Podcast, and Java with Juli, and several others as she shares about the power of sex in marriage. Most recently, she's launched a podcast called Heaven in Your Home where she talks all about sex, marriage and the mission of God.   In it all, Francie is passionate about inviting others to experience God's tangible love that has the ability to transform every area of life.      Francie has a BA in Political Science and a Masters degree in Evangelism and Leadership from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Il.  She currently lives in the suburbs of Washington DC with her six kids and husband.    Francie Winslow's Website Francie Winslow's Podcast   Episodes with Dr. Michael Sytsma on The Savvy Sauce: Ten Common Questions About Sex, Shared Through a Biblical Worldview   Enjoying a God-Honoring, Healthy Sex Life with Your Spouse   Desire DIscrepancy in Marriage with Dr. Michael Sytsma   Remaining Sexually Engaged Through the Years with Dr. Michael Sytsma (Paying Patrons Only)   At The Savvy Sauce, we will only recommend resources we believe in!

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.

Sex in Marriage and Its Positive Effects with Francie Winslow, Part 1   "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Philippians 2:3+4 NIV   Questions and Topics We Discuss: What has the Lord taught you about sexual intimacy within marriage? How does sex that happens in the secret place inside our marriage overflow to the rest of our lives, benefitting each arena? What are a few positive messages to replace the negative lies we've previously bought into about sex?     Francie Winslow says Jesus captured her heart at a young age, and she has been on an adventure following Him since then, fueled by a love for His word and His presence.   As a young woman Francie served in Mother Theresa's home for the dying in Kolkata, sat in brothels with girls trapped in the sex trade of Chang Mai, slept in the bush of Namibia to reach tribal people and orphans with the Gospel of Jesus, visited the homes of the poor in the Dominican Republic, and helped with the rebuilding and development of a village in Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami.   For the past few years, Francie has been focused on writing and speaking about God's good gift of intimacy in marriage.  She's been featured on Christianity Today's blog and Moody Radio, The Don't Mom Alone Podcast, and Java with Juli, and several others as she shares about the power of sex in marriage.

Thailand is not traditionally known as a country that produces specialty coffee, yet it has been producing Arabica coffee since the early '80s. It started off as part of the Thai King's opium eradication project. Because Arabica coffee thrives in conditions similar to those favoured by opium, it was selected as a substitution crop against the cultivation of the illicit plant. Today, Thailand produces about 8,000 tonnes of Arabica coffee, mainly in the mountainous north of the country. On top of that, Thailand produces about ten times as much Robusta coffee, making it the third-largest coffee producer in Asia. Thai specialty coffee is rarely seen in the top specialty roaster segment abroad. Thailand is a middle-income country and has a thriving local coffee market. That means relatively high production costs for a relatively undemanding coffee market. Having said this, a strong specialty coffee segment is emerging. At least on the consumer side, the Third Wave is quite well established, with artisan roasters and cafés in Bangkok and Chang Mai. These roasters have recently begun to develop and buy local coffees too, not least because of import tariffs on foreign coffees. However, this scene is still very small and hardly creates enough incentives for farmers to improve the quality of their coffee to specialty grade – at least for now. So even though they have been doing a great job at pushing the limits of Thai coffee, the specialty coffee scene would be greatly aided with more specialty coffee knowledge and global integration. Our sourcing partners Beanspire have been actively assisting the farming families of Doi Pangkhon to improve the quality of their coffee. For this lot, they specifically worked with two entrepreneurial siblings of the Becheku family from the Akha hilltribe: Ata and Pupae. At 31, Ata is the oldest of the three siblings. His entrepreneurial spirit and leadership is a force for change in his community. Pupae is Ata's 27-year-old sister. She worked in both Korea and Taiwan before returning home to Doi Pangkhon to help her brother produce coffee. Pupae speaks fluent Chinese, and she's a Chinese language teacher at a local school. The young Bechekus are third generation coffee farmers at Doi Pangkhon, and they represent one of the most inspiring aspects of the Thai coffee scene. The future of the entire specialty industry around the world is unclear, because farmers and their children are quitting coffee manufacturing for other more lucrative opportunities.  Pupae and other people like her are returning home to work on coffee because they see a bright future in it, and they are farming coffee by choice; not because they lack other opportunities. Doi Pangkhon's coffee farms, at 1,250–1,500 metres above sea level, contain Caturra, Catimor, Bourbon and Typica cultivars. Such a mixture of cultivars allows farmers to mitigate various risks. For example, Bourbon and Typica tend to be weaker plants and sometimes come under attack from leaf rust and other diseases, but they have great cupping potential. Caturra and especially Catimor are more rust resistant and have a higher yield. Due to the famously fragrant soil in the Chang Rai area, even these hybrid varieties are capable of producing complex and delicious coffees, yet they could struggle if grown in different areas. Imagine a Cadbury's Wholenut - lashings of milk chocolate with a hefty sprinkle of hazelnut - and you're pretty much there with this coffee. Now throw in a sprinkle of macadamia nuts too and just a hint of caramel for a super moreish hug in a mug. Country: Thailand Region: Doi Pangkhong, Chiang Rai Altitude: 1,250–1,500 m.a.s.l.

After that, he left Dubai to join a community of "Digital Nomads" in Chang Mai, Thailand where he met individuals working hard to build million $ businesses without investors, offices nor physical teams. Eventually, he moved back to Dubai to work on a new laundry start-up, "Washmen". In 14 months, without a team, they grew Washmen by 5X+, and closed a multi M$ Series B; Facebook even built a case study on the brand.

What is the best place in the world for early retirees to live in? In today's episode, Julie plays voicemails, reads out tweets and emails from members of the FIRE community on the best places to live as a financially free retiree. We hear about places in the US, South America and everywhere else in the world! We also chat about... The best states and cities to live in the US What's important when considering a new city to live in Places outside of the US that are great to live in Enjoy this community episode, and please subscribe to us in iTunes if you enjoyed it! Show notes and links from today's episode Savvy History Legislative Lottery in New Mexico Financial Pilgrimage Post: 10 Reasons Why St. Louis is a Great Place to Raise a Family Stop Ironing Shirts Finance Clever The Earth Awaits PitchWire Key takeaways from our Community Episode 1 - Knoxville, Tennessee Christina and Matt give us a detailed explanation as to why Knoxville is such a great place for early retirees. The cost of living is low, there are many activities involving culture, sports and especially the outdoors; Knoxville has over 50 miles of trails and tons of public parks. The city has a big art and music scene, and the Discovery channel have their headquarters based there. The couple enjoy a high level of entertainment and believe they could not reach FI anywhere else. 2 - The state of New Mexico Debbie brings the state of New Mexico to the top of the list for early retirees. She mentions that public education is cheap and the legislative lottery is a big help for university students. In the summer the weather is warm and dry, and in the winter there's skiing and other winter sports. The only negative is that there is a lack of diversity when it comes to jobs, but for an early retiree this shouldn't be an issue. 3 - Places outside of the US Many other places are mentioned in the US as well in the rest of the world. Natalia talks about how amazing the health insurance in Costa Rica is, Finance Clever tells us about Medellin in Colombia and Colleen mentions Panama city.

Today you get to learn a bit about a guy named 'Daniel Dubie'. A world class con-artist if ever there was one. He was one of these people who travelled the world telling people he was Jesus and people believed him! Literally - people were giving him millions. Somehow, prime suspect Jon Onuma hooks up with this guy and was living all alone in a seaside estate in Kaneohe , Hawaii. One of Dubie' biggest victims was Herbalife co-Founder, Geraldine Cvitanoch. She married Dubie (who was already married) after meeting him just 30 days earlier. She then begins to sign over her Real Estate properties to him. She found out he was married and divorced him but it was too late - that money was GONE! Dubie was murdered in July 2006 in Chang Mai, Thailand. Another one of his scorned lovers had had enough and blew him away at a restaurant while he was having lunch!

Josh sits down with Flying Squirrel Outfitters founder Brian Carraway. Flying Squirrel Outfitters doesn't just stand out with a unique hammock design, they stand for a cause. After Brian moved from Seattle to Chang Mai in northern Thailand, he fell deeply into the world of entrepreneurship bringing his passion for hammocks with him. With that, he wanted to create a business model that would help raise the quality of life from some of the small villages in northern Thailand. We were lucky enough to sit down and listen to Brian's story; challenges, feats of success, and how his company is bringing steady work, a better wage, and a monumentally more comfortable work environment to seamstresses in the village of Chang Mai.

On why I love Chang Mai, and a discussion on exercising while traveling. Enjoy!

Við hjá jons.is höfum sérstakan áhuga á því þegar fólk stofnar fyrirtæki sem eru óhefðbundin ef svo má segja. Eygló stofnaði fyrirtækið sitt jakkafatajoga 2013.

Það var þó ekki fyrr en sumarið 2008 sem Eygló fór sjálf að stunda jóga og má segja að hún hafi kolfallið fyrir áhrifunum sem iðkunin hafði á hana. Strax í janúar 2009 hóf hún svo jógakennaranám hjá Guðjóni Bergmann með það að markmiði að dýpka eigin iðkun. Þó ætlunin hafi upphaflega ekki verið að leggja stund á jógakennslu í kjölfarið, þá hóf hún að kenna reglulega tíma snemma sama ár og með tímanum fór hún að kenna sína eigin tíma undir merkjum Yoga með Eygló. Eygló hefur því stundað jógakennslu frá 2009. Árið 2013 stofnaði hún svo Jakkafatajóga með það að markmiði að koma hreyfingu inn í daglega dagskrá almennings og þannig útrýma kyrrsetukvillu.

Anthony Rigogliosi, Founder of Podcast Ninja, went from being homeless and living out of his car in New York to becoming a global podcast ninja. It began when he was a manager at Best Buy but went through a few massive changes in his personal life when he found himself homeless. He shares his struggles with alcohol, cookie dough and the realization that his decisions had gotten him into this so it was up to him to start making different decisions to get different results. "I have an opportunity of a lifetime that I have to take." A defining moment was when he read the book The 4-Hour Work Week. He also started embracing the simplicity of the minimalist lifestyle and not having a lot of material possessions weighing him down. He then wrote down on a piece of paper, Thailand, and developed a plan to pursue a new life living overseas. In this episode we discuss... Working at Best Buy during the day, working overnights at Target. Sleeping in his car in the parking lot. Reading The 4-Hour Work Week. Writing down on a piece of paper one word, Thailand. Writing on his exit paperwork from Best Buy, "I have the opportunity of a lifetime and I have to take it." Buying a one-way ticket with a backpack and bicycle. Travel and explore to regain his piece. His first impression of Chang Mai when he landed. Conquering his fear after exploding his comfort zone. Biking over 2,000 kilometers across Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Running his savings down to $300. Teaching English to people in China. Getting from Hanoi, Vietnam to Chang Mai, Thailand on his last $300. $600 internship learning about podcast production for JohnnyFD. Learning about Affiliate Marketing and making money online. Starting his podcast production company, Podcast Ninja, to help other podcasters launch and produce their shows. His nomad life was more expensive than he had planned for and he soon found himself out of money when a timely call came from an established podcaster in Chang Mai, Thailand that was looking for an intern. That was the break that Anthony needed. He headed to Chang Mai that would lead to his new career as an entrepreneur and Podcast Ninja helping others launch and build podcasts. "Follow your heart and follow your dreams, and watch the world conspire to support you." If you have ever thought, I hate my life but I don't know what to do, you are not alone but Anthony proves that you do have the power to change your life and it just starts with a simple plan...Thailand.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/wu-283-amy-dapice-sept-at-bac/ Amy D'Apice isn't shy about her art. In this podcast she shares the secrets and stories of the last nine months as she has been creating art for her solo exhibition this September at Bainbridge Arts & Crafts. Though a long time Bainbridge Islander, about four years ago Amy moved to Chang Mai, Thailand, where she paints for most of the year. Each summer she returns to Bainbridge Island to visit with family and friends, and shares her art. Wherever she is, Amy has always been drawn to the unnoticed spots of beauty in the world around her. A constant for her is the reliability of those spaces: the cracks in the sidewalks, the alleyways, the window sills, the street urchins. And she paints them. Amy details her journey in her blog, Art Conspiracy (http://artconspiracy.net/blog/). She shares the good stuff as well as the hard, the times when inspiration hits and the times where she just has to show up and hope for the best. In September, we get to see the fruits of her labor, and the process along the way. Come and celebrate "Kindred Spaces" with Amy this September. There are lots of chances to meet Amy and view her work: Exhibition: September 2-October 2 Artist's Reception: September 2, 6:30, BAC Artist's Talk: September 3, 12:30, BAC Multimedia Presentation: September 8, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art Amy also teaches workshops all summer! Get the details at http://bacart.org/education/workshops/ Amy will also be participating in Paint Out Winslow this August - join her! For more information visit http://bacart.org/artists/paintoutwinslow/ This demo is part of a series of artists demos at Bainbridge Arts & Crafts; Georgia will be speaking with BCB regularly to introduce us to each month's education programs.

Amateur Traveler talks to Matt Kepkes of NomadicMatt.com about his trip to the ancient capitals of Thailand: Ayutthaya, Lopburi and Sukhothai. Before the capital moved to Bangkok it was in each of these three cities as invaders came in from what is now Cambodia and Burma and then were subsequently repelled. Instead of taking the night train to Chang Mai as many tourists do, Matt and his traveling companions explored these cities on the way. In their travels they found ancient temples (some in ruins and some well preserved), wonderful night markets, troops of monkeys, friendly people and a slice of rural Thailand.
