It’s been such a long time I don’t post here… Time to fix it I guess. So what has been happening to me during this loooong time? Tons of stuff.

First thing, I became a digital nomad (or technomad) step in may last year. Yep, I sold my stuff, got rid of my apartment contract and started being a traveller… forever. I now work remotely with the help of my fierce MacBook Pro. I’ve been writing a lot about it on my french blog, Vie Nomade. In case you’re really interested and cannot grasp Molière’s language, a Google Translate session should do ;)

I’m still a webdesigner and I’ve kept delivering websites during all this time… but I actually became more of a project manager. I also built a custom CMS with my colleague web developper and friend Céline – we’re still sorting out how to package and sell it, but we already made quite a few happy clients with, yay!

I also became travel writer! Apart from my blog mentioned above, I now publish articles on ebooker’s swiss blog (still in french, sorry). It’s quite fresh, but I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time.

I worked on my photography skills throughout my travels, and I’m enjoying it more and more. I’ve also had a first photographer contract while I was back in Switzerland, but I still do it mostly for fun.

I got rid of my 3D skillset altogether. No more characters, no more illustrations. Although I’ve got plenty of fun with these for a few years, I grew bored of it and anyway… I can’t do everything! So it will be more time and energy I can put in my other projects.

So… I’m currently in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It’s an amazing and inspiring city!

Hugs and sunrays!
