Long term travel, nomadic lifestyle, digital nomad over 40. Terms have changed but I answer questions about traveling for the last 15 years.

I'm sharing my travel story, from working in advertising in Toronto to buying a one-way ticket to Mexico at 32 and starting my food travel blog Bacon is Magic.

In this Q&A I talk about:

My origin story and how I became a travel content creator
Meeting Alan in Indonesia and our relationship
Why I probably won't retire in Canada (even though I love it here)
The challenges of travel blogging in 2025 and how AI is changing everything
My first trip abroad
Upcoming Mexico trip
Visa struggles for Indonesian passport holders
My 2026 Vietnam group tour announcement
Detailed Southeast Asia travel advice for Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore and Indonesia
Why I'd recommend Italy for your first solo trip
The reality of making YouTube videos while traveling

I also share why I focus on traditional food and supporting local economies, the difference between slow travel and constantly moving, and what it's really like building a travel business over 15 years.

Currently filming from the foggy but beautiful south shore of Nova Scotia before heading off on a wild journey - Halifax to Kuala Lumpur to pick up Alan, then straight to Mexico for our next adventure.
