Ep 71 - Back to Phuket Where it Started

Author: Johnny FD May 6, 2015 Duration: 50:21

This week's guest is my cousin Jacob who came with me to Thailand back in 2008 when I decided to quit my job and move across the world to pursue my passions.  We talk about what my family thought of me making the move, overcoming fears and objections, the similarities of my parent's immigrating from Taiwan to America and about traveling in Chiang Mai, Phuket and the Phi Phi Islands.

Johnny FD has been having conversations for years with people who decided to redesign their lives around freedom and adventure, and Travel Like a Boss is where you get to hear them. With an archive of over 250 discussions, this podcast digs into the real, unvarnished details of building a location-independent life. You’ll hear from digital nomads, expats, and entrepreneurs who aren’t just dreaming about a four-hour workweek-they’re actively living it. Each episode feels like a candid coffee chat, focusing less on generic travel tips and more on the practicalities and personal stories behind the move. Listeners get a clear sense of what it actually takes to run an online business from a beach in Bali or a cafe in Lisbon, covering everything from visa hurdles and income strategies to finding community in a new city. It’s about the intersection of work, culture, and place, offering a genuine look at the trade-offs and triumphs that come with this lifestyle. For anyone curious about making a change or simply living vicariously through those who have, this series provides a steady stream of inspiration and actionable insight, proving that the world can be your office if you’re willing to build it.
