Update on my 2018-19 World Trip

10/17/2018

 
​Hello from Manila, Philippines! I've been abroad 44 days (~3 more months to go before returning to USA)

For those of you that aren't following my Instagram, here's where I have recently traveled to.

Sep 4: Manila, Philippines to meet assistant & sales manager in Makati city for a week
Sep 17: Singapore, Singapore + explore Marina Bay, etc
Sep 18: Johor, Malaysia to give my first keynote speech to a Global Business Services Summit
Sep 23: Phuket, Thailand to explore beaches...
... on a scooter for 3 days.  See some pics below.  Stayed at Kanita Resort, a 4 star spot I found for $8/night, however, far from city.  I wouldn't recommend it, but did enjoy having to rent a scooter for two days, I wouldn't have done that otherwise. 
Sep 26: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to meet contacts from the conference.


Stayed near Bukit Bintang and tried some amazing peanut mochi for the first time! Pictures to the right:
Sep 28: Back to Manila to work
Oct 4: Manila, Gave a speech to StartCon, "Elevator pitches and befriending investors"

See pics of the panel after my talk to the right:

​The purpose of my trip is primarily to work on Handshakin' alongside my remote team here in Philippines. As a fully online and remote company, I am exploring nearby countries while being primarily based in Manila.  In early December, I pack my backpack and fly to Dubai and haven't planned out more than the first 4 nights there. 

***Seeking fellow nomads for some of December and January travels***

Definite countries with flexible dates:
Dubai, 12/9 to Egypt, 12/12 to Jordan and Israel, 12/16 to Cyprus, 12/20 to London

Considering these countries if time permits after Christmas going into January:
Czech Republic, Greece, Russia, Budapest, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, 

In conclusion (only 33% done traveling as of today)
The goal is to fly back to the US on the East coast, since I departed on the West coast and close the loop, having flown around the world.  As of right now, my rough itinerary will have taken me to 28 places, throughout 150 days, and traveling over 28,000 miles. See my travel map.

Jan 28:  Las Vegas, to speak at Namescon conference again.   Any domain name investors want to join me at this conference?

Do you plan to travel abroad in mid December or early to mid January?  Email me!
