Patty Ho

Hello! My name is Patty. This is a personal blog that dedicated to my travels throughout the years of my life. I used to be a Full time professional web designer for 10 years. I quit my full time job in 2011 and pursue my dream to travel around the world. And ever since, I never looked back. Originally planned for 1 year, but end up travelled for 18 months.

I loved my travel life so much that after I return from my trip that I decided to move on my life to become a digital nomad. I am currently learning and trading stocks, taking on freelance project and taking licensing courses. My income is no longer a single source of income. It is made of many different small ones. I love my flexible life. This blog documents on how I travel and all the tips and tricks. I hope you enjoy this blog and don’t be shy to ask me any questions or send me comments!

What is my future travel plans?

Currently I would like to work on building a location independent career where I no longer need to stay in one place to make income. It takes time to build but I will get there. Therefore, I won’t be doing another 18 months travel but I will be travelling max 3 months at a time. And maybe one country to two country at a time 🙂
