Saigon – 3 Oaks Hotel
Going back to Vietnam we knew right away we will want to stay a bit longer this time so we chose Ho Chi Minh City because it's easy to find an agency there to extend our visa. We decided to stay there for a week and move on to another city after our visas are done. We didn't do any…

Are we scared of the Coronavirus?
Many people have asked us how is coronavirus situation in SE Asia. Is there the same or worse panic like in Europe or USA? I am not sure. It is very hard to say. Asian people wear face masks anyway when they have a cold, or allergies or simply to protect themselves from air pollution. We didn’t notice more people…

Spending summary for 2019
I know that many people are thinking about jumping into digital nomad lifestyle and they often have a lot of questions. One of those is what is the cost of living in such and such country. I have been a bit obsessed with noting every single transaction for years, so obviously I continue doing that during our travels. It's also…

New Year in Kuala Lumpur
It was the beginning of December when we had to leave Sri Lanka and finding a fairly cheap flight and accommodation was a bit difficult due to incoming Christmas and New Year. The cheapest option was Malaysia again. We've been there a few times before and we feel comfortable in Kuala Lumpur so it was no brainer for us to…

Rainy Sri Lanka
Our trip to Sri Lanka didn’t start well right from the beginning. First, our flight was 3 hours delayed. Then, when we finally arrived someone asked us if we need a taxi. Nothing unusual at the airport, but he said he’s with Uber and the price he asked for was also close enough to Uber so we agreed to go…

Anak Krakatoa – a trip of our life
Ever since I watched a documentary about Krakatau it became my obsession. I've seen every single possible documentary about it. I followed all news about Anak Krakatau and dreamt that one day I will go and see it. When in 2018 Anak Krakatau collapsed I thought it's the great opportunity to see the crater since it was on sea level…

Spending summary in Jakarta
Like I mentioned in my previous post, our priority in Jakarta was a trip to Anak Krakatoa. We knew it's not a cheap thing and we were prepared for it. You should keep that in mind when planning a trip there. Additionally, Mangrove Park was in our opinion quite expensive too. The last thing to keep in mind is that…

Gold Coast Sea View Apartment – Jakarta
We went to Jakarta with one thing in mind and that was the only thing we really wanted to do. Nothing else was important. We wanted to see Anak Krakatoa. It was a dream of mine for ages and being in South East Asia and not going there would be a crime! With this goal in mind, we didn't look…

3-month spending in Malaysia
This time in Malaysia we cooked more meals at home but our groceries were done mostly in big shopping malls so definitely not the cheapest ones. Although, we didn’t really have much choice since all the places we stayed in were far from any local markets. Similarly, any restaurants that we visited from time to time weren’t the cheapest ones…
