On all three previous places I’ve been missing “the forest” and more diverse biotype. So I have finally landed in Punta Umbr\u00eda<\/strong>, on the serene southwestern coast of Spain. Mornings with sea breeze and cup of coffee on the balcony, remote work with a view. Plenty of green spaces including “the forest” is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, comfort and contentment are not always the same thing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, the spark that pulls you forward has been with you since childhood. It is waiting for the right moment to rise again. I have questioned myself if I want to pay overpriced seasonal flat rent during the high season. And I already knew the answer to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So then the day of the childhood f145h84ck<\/strong> came, and it sparked up my imaginary powder keg!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I still remember the moment I got my first World Atlas<\/strong> as a child. I was eating information about all countries inside. Because all are important. I was flipping through pages of unfamiliar borders and flags. Then I landed on two that immediately stood out: Nepal<\/strong> and Bhutan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was something mysteriously beautiful about the sharp mountain silhouettes of their flags. Two countries tucked high in the Himalayas. This double page from the Atlas became quickly my favorite one. And it has locked in my subconsciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time was passing, so my interests has been drifting. But fascination with Eastern cultures was still sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the past two decades I have explored most of the Europe. I have visited Azerbaijan<\/strong> and Israel <\/strong>back in the days. Earlier this year I added Africa<\/strong> to the list by visiting Rabat in Morocco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But something was stirring beneath the surface. Quiet question echoing from the past: What happened to those childhood dreams of the East?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n February 2025. I have just landed at SVQ airport. It was late evening, so I couldn’t get home to Punta Umbria. So I stayed in Sevilla in the hostel overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And there the old fascination came back to the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n High season in Spain is coming soon. I know I don’t want to pay for fixed rent in Spain during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In that moment, something unlocked in me. I saw a blank page \u2014 Tabula Rasa<\/strong> \u2014 and I embraced it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within minutes I was on Skyscanner<\/strong> browsing flights to Thailand and Vietnam. No long analysis, no overplanning. Cost optimal route was from Vienna over Singapore to Bangkok. A flight for around 250 EUR<\/strong> appeared. So I booked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suddenly, I wasn’t just thinking<\/em> about Asia \u2014 I was flying there<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is how my Asian Adventure<\/strong> began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn’t a holiday. It is the Proof of Concept<\/strong>. A living prototype of a nomadic lifestyle<\/strong> in a new personally unknown world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have decided to build my travelers regime around:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If You are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope this inspires You to trust the quiet signals from Your past. They might lead You where You were always meant to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Jakub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the past few years I have lived a life that many would consider comfortably ideal.
