Agree on all fronts.

Sorry to hear about the host problem, what a nightmare.

It’s nice to get some ‘bad news’ truth on here though. Even though I also appear to be one of them, people who run travel blogs and travel facinate me on how its possible. I can blast out a lot of writing an work when I get time to focus, but little bits here and there in between the usual travelling tends to be of a lesser quality and rushed. Which annoys me.

I think taking the odd month or so to STOP travelling and get some work done is a key point to continuing the effort of a nomadic life and keep the quality there.

I know that feeling well. Not because our server went down, but about reaching a point where you know for one reason or another, it’s time to stop.

We stopped in Panama, Buffalo, Atlanta, Buenos Aires and now Salta.

And like you (as you say in your About), I get antsy after about 3 months in one place.

It’s a different type of travel, I think, when you figure out how to get internet in your home or where’s the best place to go for coffee or start to develop friendships that require more daily interaction than those on the road. That, and Bali seems like a pretty fabulous place to stop for a bit.

But we all know, we’re eventually moving on.

I’ve heard a good many people are riding the recession out in Bali – might be interesting to explore that, as it sounds like a hell of a plan

Matt, all the best for getting things done in Bali! Myself I ran into the problem of constant updates and work with my site a while back, but decided to take it more easily on the online front. Thankfully I don’t need the money to survive from my site. But the lack of updates nags me also, quite a bit. I’m down from weekly updates to an update every few weeks, which is not optimal.

But like you said, it’s all about the balance.

BTW, hopefully we can catch up some day on the road for a few drinks, I will be only back in Bali on 1st of May….maybe you are still there by then, probably not anymore…but hey, let’s see.

I found travelling with a relatively static site difficult enough. How you manage to balance work and travel with a site that requires far more frequent updates is something I need to learn (and this is a good place to do so). Bali is a good spot to have a holiday from the holiday though. Enjoy.
