Don’t Undervalue Proximity

If you had asked me two months ago what I expected life to be like while living in Thailand, I may have answered that it would be rather low key and full of sightseeing, work, and perhaps meeting a few new people.
And I would have been completely 100% wrong.
The last month of my life has been one of the most fun and exciting I’ve ever had.  On EVERY. SINGLE. LEVEL.  Seriously, let me give you a brief run down of what life is like for me these days.

The Online World IS the Real World

I was recently at the TEDx Bangkok conference, and one of the presenters kept referring to the “real world” and the “online world” as if they were separate things.  Listening to her talk it kind of hit me, that we have come so far that these are no longer separate worlds, and we should stop treating them as such.

Stop Maintaining and Start Writing Incoherent Blog Posts

I’ve got a confession to make: time management has never really been my forte.
I tend to be a bit of a procrastinator and when I start ramping up on one project, many of the others often fall to the wayside.
Well, this has been amplified by about 50 times since I’ve moved across the world. Now not only am I trying to keep up with my blog and online engagements, I’ve been working full time with the Tropical MBA and trying to see as much of Bangkok as possible. It’s been …
