Ah, love. We all want to love, and feel loved, but sometimes, life simply gets in the way. If you ever were in a long distance relationship, you know how hard it can get. It’s not hard to meet other people in foreign countries, but having a serious relationship with them is a lot harder. The language and cultural barriers are sometimes too hard to overcome.

Why English? Of so many languages in the world, and so many professions, why would this be the best choice? The answer to these questions can be found in the basic human pattern of behavior. One thing is in common to all people around the globe, regardless of culture, age or gender. It is the need to communicate.

Remote working jobs are so much better than the standard ones, where you have to spend a good portion of your day trapped in an office. If you are a remote worker, you can take your job with you, wherever you go. It basically means that you are only bound by your imagination and free spirit. This all sounds fine and dandy, but why do some people still rather choose the traditional office format?
Digital nomads from western countries have always been interested in visiting Asia. Perhaps it is because their culture is so much different than ours, so we feel drawn to it in a way we cannot truely explain.

Jet lag, poor nutrition and a bad posture are just some of the problems digital nomads encounter along the way, that can be detrimental to their well being.
