Taipei!!! ✈️ What an underrated city. 24 hours here and am already obsessed with this place that has so many textures in one place. It’s hipster and grungy and brand-new while also bursting with history. ✨ It’s a cluster of contradictions while boasting incredible food, boba tea and tofu pudding.🧋10 more days here to explore more night markets and do some hiking. 🥾 #digitalnomad #taipei #travel #writer

The sun is setting on my time here in Kyoto, and I’m already nostalgic for this place. 💕 One thing I’ll miss most are my daily afternoon walks through the Imperial Gardens. ⛲️ Morning writing sessions unfurl into yoga classes, breakfasts and tea with friends, and each day is anchored with tofu sandwiches and forest walks. 🌳 I’ve been spoiled silly with bowls of matcha and great nature here: Kyoto is really as magical as you’ve heard. #travel #japan #digitalnomad #writer #kyoto

Cozy days in Kyoto ☕️ Part of the fun of being a digital nomad is just living life in beautiful places. Wearing sweatpants and a big comfy sweater to yoga class. 🧘♀️ Lounging around our house in the mornings while sun sweeps through our little zen garden. 🪴 Nothing exciting, no makeup, no back-to-back tours. Just… daily life in all of its simplicity. There’s room for the big fun activities too, but sometimes I crave just waking up and wandering to the neighborhood coffeeshop. #digitalnomad #japan #writer
