Meet Piotrek: Your Guide to Relationships, Remote Work, and Travel Adventures

I realized it’s been a while since I properly introduced myself, so here goes: I’m Piotrek, I create content about meaningful relationships, remote work, and travel adventures, all while striving for work-life balance. All of it is for my fellow digital nomads. Whether you’ve been here a

Choose Your First Nomad Hub Thoughtfully: Avoid Clichés and Find Your Fit

Don't pick your first nomad destination just because everyone else did. Skip the Bali and Chiang Mai hype. Instead, match your first remote work spot to what actually matters. Time zones that overlap with your work hours. Food you can enjoy eating daily. Weather your body can handle.

Break Free from Timezones: Embrace Async Work for Nomadic Success

Precise client chats. When your message is crystal clear, calls become optional. That's my leverage. While others struggle

Setting Boundaries: How I Stopped Working 24/7 as a Digital Nomad

Work never stops when your office is everywhere. That's the trap I fell into as a nomad. No commute means no mental switch between work and life. I learned this the hard way in Bali, answering emails at midnight because “it's just one more thing.” Now

Breaking Barriers: How Geo-Blocking Limits Creators and Global Reach

Geo-blocking isn't just about missing your Netflix shows. It cuts deeper for creators like me. For example, in China, Cambodia, Indonesia, my audience can't access YouTube, Spotify, or Instagram. Local policies block them out. That means my content never reaches them. That's why I

Among Japan enthusiasts, two subgroups emerge. The ecstatic pop-culture diehards and the mellow admirers of traditional culture. Since I grew up as the first one and now lean more to the other, I'm so glad that Tokyo can deliver both in a heartbeat.
