I walked into a gym in Phuket feeling motivated.
2 minutes later the trainer looks at me very serious and says:you train or you take selfie?? Whole gym started laughing and honestly he wasn’t even wrong.
Thailand has a different type of humor man.
Anyone else had funny gym moments there?😁
Last year was dark. Not going to sugarcoat it.
Depression, self-doubt, questioning everything I was doing.
The one thing that kept me going was building. Not because I thought it would succeed — just because it gave me a reason to get up.
What came out of it: livewhere.io
A tool that helps remote workers figure out where in the world they can actually afford to live — based on their real salary, taxes, priorities. 200+ cities scored.
It’s not perfect. I’m still improving it.
But it exists. And I’m proud of that.
If you’ve ever stared at a spreadsheet trying to figure out “where the hell should I actually move” — this was built for you.
Free to try. Would love to know what’s missing.

I honestly didn’t expect Thailand to have so many beautiful cafes designed almost perfectly for working remotely.
Good coffee,fast Wi-Fi, calm atmosphere,people actually staying for hours working on laptops..it feels like some cities there were built for digital nomads without even trying.
What’s the best cafe or area you’ve worked from in Thailand?
I’ve been thinking about trying South America for a while now.
If you’ve lived there as a DN: where did you feel most comfortable day-to-day?
Not for just partying or vacation vibes -I mean actually living there.
I started comparing countries based on: taxes, cost of living,healthcare,internet, safety and residency and honestly? A lot of most hyped places make zero financial sense for remote workers. Some lesser l-known countries offer: lower taxes,less stress,better quality of life,way more savings potential. Most rankings online feel more like influencer marketing than really. What country surprised you the most after living there?!
73% of digital nomads say loneliness is one of the biggest downsides of the lifestyle.everyone sees the beaches, laptops, freedom,and cheap apartments.almost nobody talks about constantly restarting your life every few months. New country,new people,new routine,over and over again.Freedom can get surprisingly lonely.
Southeast Asia gives you freedom. Europe gives you stability. South America gives you energy. If you had to choose ONE region to live remotely for the 5 years-what are you picking and why?🌏

We’re told that if you work hard enough,you’ll make it. That Messi became Messi because of discipline. That Conor became Conor because of mindset. But how many people had the same hunger and never got the chance? How many future champions were born in the wrong country, wrong family, wrong moment? How many geniuses are invisible because life hit harder than talent could fight back? Maybe the world only sees the survivors. Not the millions who could’ve been legendary too. That’s the part motivational culture never talks about.and maybe that’s why so many remote workers and digital nomads relate to this.most of us are just trying to change our reality,escape survival mode,and build a life that finally feels like freedom.
