Year 3 was an interesting year since 2020 was an unprecedented year for everyone. For the first time, we stayed in the same country for pretty much an entire year due to an unforeseen global pandemic. We have learned a lot from these past 3 years from both a travel and budget standpoint. In this first part, we are diving into the fun/travel part of our journey by looking at our top highlights.
We don’t blog for a living but that doesn’t prevent us from monetizing our blog because why not? This quarter our revenue was flat but we had significant change in our source of revenue. In this post we explain how we monetize our blog, what works, what doesn’t, and how much money we made in the second quarter of 2021 (which covers the period from 4/1/2021 to 6/30/2021)
Taiwan has been a model of how to control the pandemic since its inception in early 2020, thanks to effective contact tracing, strict quarantine, and coordinated government action.

In this post, we are taking a deep dive into our budget and how the two of us spent about $1,200 USD for a 4 week stay in Penang, Malaysia in November 2019. We picked Penang because it is a food paradise and we have not been disappointed on that front!
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since the pandemic and hence a year since we’ve been able to travel internationally. Right before the travel shutdown, we were fortunate enough to enjoy a month in the foodie paradise of Penang, Malaysia after a month enjoying the wonderful beach of Koh Lanta (read: Koh Lanta destination report) and Koh Lipe in Thailand.
