WHO IS THIS GUY

I left an ordinary life behind

I left an ordinary life behind and moved to Thailand with a suitcase (and a helmet). You've seen me riding around on YouTube — here I write the details that don't fit in a video: real budgets, and hard-earned tips so you don't fall into the tourist traps I did.

APPS

I also build apps on the road

Niche discovery for YouTube creators, health apps for migraine, fibromyalgia and diabetes, a shield that blocks gambling and betting sites, an AI sound studio for video creators…
