Digital Nomad

The traveler's trail is a boulevard of tragic stories of lost iPhones, Android devices that (like in their clever commercials) grew legs and ran away, pilfered ergonomic headphones, stolen laptops, absentee underwear, and most seriously, misplaced passports.

Losing your stuff while traveling sucks, not only because of the inconvenience, stress, and replacement costs but more importantly because of the time it takes that could be spent enjoying travel, doing cool things, and connecting with interesting people. This article will present some bizarre memory systems, life hacks, and uncommon yet practical solutions for not losing your valuable stuff while traveling.

Dionysus was the Greek god of…
Wine
Fertility
Ritual madness
Religious ecstasy

To the sensible modern Western mind, one of the six words listed above may seem a little out of place — Religious. When we hear the word religious, almost invariably we think sobering thoughts; we reflect on our personal experiences with these institutions and systems of morality.

About Romania, it is a Latin country in Eastern Europe, but they don’t have the Latin friendliness and zest for life. Neither do they seem to have the Eastern European work ethic or conservative values.

For several generations, Romania was under the thumb of this nutty dictator who wanted to turn it into an Eastern European version of North Korea. It took him 20 years but he managed to build the world’s heaviest building and the second largest building in the world. A few quirky insights and observations of mine that digital nomads and pickup artists will want to consider before booking a trip to Bucharest…

More travel hacks...

As I write this I am closing in on a whole 60 days spent in Costa Rica and Panama. These are the lessons I've learned from living, working, socializing, and generally being hungover abroad...

This suntan was totally worth the sunburns! Un gringo muy gaupo, No?

In a radical lifestyle experiment and self-control challenge, I spent over three and a half months completely sober in Medellin, Colombia.

In these +100 days, I experienced meteoric personal development in multiple dimensions. I also partied with some of the coolest, most interesting, and sexiest people I've ever met...

Men are irresistibly drawn, arguably thanks to evolutionary psychology, to travel to foreign lands and conquer sexually there. Many women travelers, applying the "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" logic, see travel as a time to let the inner slut out. Indeed, the prospect of hooking up with a curvaceous, exotic local, the sexy novelty of hearing lovemaking moans in a foreign accent, and living out our fantasies about having a French, Korean, Italian, English, or Brazilian partner are a big factor of the motivation to swipe our credit cards and go see the world.

This article will analyze the two ends of the spectrum and make the case that sex tourism is at its core unethical, harmful, and shameful while love tourism can be a beautiful cultural experience, more economical, and good adult fun.

As a nomadic seducer, in Sofia, I got laid more, got paid more, established better friendships, and left with more good memories and lessons learned than the previous cities I spent equal time in.

As opposed to crediting this to Sofia itself (herself?) or some unquantifiable metaphysical influence or self-help principle, I know exactly why my time there was so productive in all the dimensions that are important to me. I No Fapped and No Boozed the majority of my time there, I completed 30 Days of No Fap and 90 Days of No Booze. abstaining from these two vices simultaneously really is a synergistic lifehack for productivity and happiness. For a man, these two habits really are symbiotic; when I’m No Fapping I’m way more motivated to go out, make friends and meet girls but No Fapping for this long requires serious discipline that is all but impossible if you are even a moderate social drinker.

I just finished this very entertaining and informative adventurer’s manifesto by Jon Levi, a behavioral scientist who likes to party.

This book follows the storytelling-rich principal, anecdote, scientific reference format that makes non-fiction a pleasure to read. The author has a formula for epic experiences…

Gents, if you’re imagining that one day you might settle down with or marry a beautiful, feminine, family-minded foreign woman, understand that the curtain is being drawn on the opportunity to geo-arbitrage your sexual market value as a Western man in a poorer country.

Here I will describe the perfect cafe, I haven’t yet been to the perfect cafe (maybe you will open it!) but I’ve been to some very good cafes…

Pergamino Cafe in Medellin, Colombia. It’s not quite the perfect cafe but it’s damn close!

A witty and in-depth discussion with my hot Bulgarian wife about Western men dating abroad, seeking asylum from modernity with the unashamedly feminine women that can be found in Medellin, Colombia, Odessa, Ukraine, or Sofia, Bulgaria where I filmed this clip pretending to daygame her and her little dog.

I’ve been a digital nomad for the better part of a decade and in that time have experimented with over a hundred different Smart Drugs or Nootropics. I’ve crossed at least 30 borders with all sorts of interesting, pharmacologically active potions and powders on my person.

Barcelona is the Spanish city you probably hear the most about but I’ll make the case here why you should go to Valencia instead.

First of all,Valencia is such a better value…

I spent about three weeks in Barcelona and Valencia seems to have everything that Barcelona does at about half to a third of the cost. In Barcelona, a very simple flatshare in a kind of cool neighborhood costs 31 Euros a night, and a shitty hostel costs $22 a night whereas in Valencia I found that not awful private room flatshares via AirBNB cost $10-$15.

In general, the wifi in Barcelona is quite mediocre, the speed and reliability are so wanting that it negatively affected my productivity during the time I spent there. Disappointingly, there’s just a single real digital nomad-friendly cafe in Barcelona. In contrast, the wifi in Valencia is muy buen! At cafes, restaurants, hostels, and Airbnb apartments I consistently found the +20MB up/down connection that I need to do work.

If you want to go shopping at a Prada store, Barcelona’s the city for you but Valencia is overall a whole lot better value for nomadic seducers.
