This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one, too.
I call it a vacation. Others might say, but you’re still working. I say, that’s right, but only a little bit. When you’re driven by enthusiasm and your goals and you’re self-employed and a workaholic, then it’s really hard to not work at all. Personally, I feel that I totally have reduced my workload during the last weeks traveling New Zealand.
Mostly I hear about traveler and digital nomad paradises like Bali or Thailand, I have been to Bali, I have been to El Salvador, I have been to many places and New Zealand tops them all. Such a beautiful country, friendly people, great infrastructure and if you enjoy the quiet like I do, then you found paradise.
I also found and attended Bitcoin meetups in Auckland and Tauranga. It’s always nice to engage with like-minded people.
In Wellington I met with Derek Sivers, author of several books, “How to Live” is my favorite so far, and former founder and CEO of “CD Baby”. He is the one who had the idea for “Now” pages, he’s a minimalist, traveler, has been a circus performer and musician and loves a different point of view. We found that we’re having a lot in common for instance the drive to use independent and self-sovereign technologies. Derek is self-publishing his books as well as I do. We met for two hours and time flew as we had a lot to talk about.
In a couple of weeks I’ll be attending the Afrobitcoin conference in Nairobi, Kenya.
