What ultimately got me off Saipan and traveling again since a year before the pandemic is that I offered to help a friend shop for and furnish his empty condo in Manila. As part of the arrangement, I stayed in the apartment, so I got to travel around and shop for my own minimalist, nomad essentials and live like a local for about a week. I’ll share what I bought in another video!

A friend in need,
room guaranteed,
and tuktuk rides galore!
I live the free
Makati me
while sleeping on the floor!
