My expat journey




Dalat , Vietnam

Ko Lanta, Krabi, Thailand
Landing in Bangkok for the first time just two weeks prior to arriving here, my friend and I were like fish out of water. This was the farthest from home any of us had ever been and we had a few thousand pounds each, that was our lot. We blew the lot! Our funds were depleted after a few short months and numerous whimsical mistakes. My friend went home but I did whatever I could to survive, so I took a day job in a Swedish restaurant in exchange for food and a bed. In the evenings, I continued writing to pay off my overdraft and save up for a Macbook and Traktor controller for DJing. My buddy arrived back on the island in August 2014 with my gear and we continued our shenanigans.
I worked online as a writer during the daytime and in bars as a DJ at night. I was burned out after doing this for six months straight.
The scenery is nothing less than spectacular and the Thai people are amazing. There is a large Swedish community on Ko Lanta and they are some of the friendliest people on Earth.
The high season only lasts for a few months.
