Same town, new home…

Like I mentioned last newsletter…we got kicked out of our old house…

But in Bali - things always work out ;)

Here's what's been going on...

  • Moved House 🏠

  • Works been psycho 💻😱💥

  • I need a new board 🏄‍♂️

We got kicked out…and had to settle here ;)

CURRENTLY IN EAST COAST, BALI

Like I mentioned last month - we were booted from our old hotel…

Granted we did have a great deal on the 2 best rooms in the place - it was time for both of us to move on.

The same day we got the word we’d have to leave our rooms, we actually had a local friend reach out who knew some people in town looking to rent their house…and the rest is history :) Mother Bali always takes care of you 🙏

The place is absolutely beautiful and while it’s been a bit hectic getting things for the house - we’ve finally settled into somewhere private that feels like home.

….even the f*ckin’ dog loves it!

Brought to you by SafetyWing…The best travel medical insurance to use as a digital nomad. I use SafetyWing specifically because…

  • I can start and cancel a plan at will

  • It covers sports (surfing in particular ;)

  • It’s $45.08/month for complete peace of mind

WORK

This has been the weirdest period of living it a prime surf spot that I think I’ve ever felt.

I didn’t go to the beach once in about a month….

Between moving house and a work launch happening June 30…it’s been a bit crazy.

I’ve settled in a bit at work - although I never want to touch Angular again after this project. It suuuuucks! I’m counting the days until this gets launched so I can hopefully move onto a new project with Vue.

It’s been a bit brutal tbh - the company doesn’t value design at all (won’t pay $15/month for Figma), but loves it when I spend extra time making certain pages beautiful 😒

I know if I led a project it would blow people’s minds. It’s tough working in an environment where you feel like you’re working at 20% of your abilities.

PROJECTS

No projects…but it does feel good to finally get one of these newsletters out at a decent time and not 2-4 weeks late 😳

Now that I’m finally settled in an have a desk setup (almost complete!) - I think it’s time to start crankin’ out work!
