With the purchase of a new Desktop machine, I came upon a problem that many photographers have already experienced in the past. I want my Adobe Lightroom catalog on my desktop to be in sync with the one on my laptop. I use Lightroom Classic with the Photography Plan.

One of the biggest issues while traveling internationally is that you end up paying around 3-5% extra for every transaction due to currency exchange charges. Whether you exchange cash at an exchange house or use your debit/credit card, most transactions get tacked with an additional 3-5% fee. Some banks even ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/no-more-foreign-currency-fees-revolut-review/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/camera-bag-vanguard-havana-41-review/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=camera-bag-vanguard-havana-41-review https://bkpk.me/camera-bag-vanguard-havana-41-review/#comments Mon, 30 Oct 2017 09:24:40 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=20552
We live a fairly minimalist lifestyle. When it comes to owning stuff, we truly believe that less is more. The fewer things we own, the less we have to tie us down and, as such, the more flexibility of movement we get to enjoy. But we’re not monks wearing a ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/camera-bag-vanguard-havana-41-review/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/best-places-for-digital-nomads-in-cluj/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=best-places-for-digital-nomads-in-cluj https://bkpk.me/best-places-for-digital-nomads-in-cluj/#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2017 20:03:25 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=18986
Chances are Cluj (full name: Cluj-Napoca), doesn’t promptly come to mind when one thinks about good places for digital nomads in Europe. Maybe this Romanian city is not a hotspot for remote workers yet, but it certainly will be soon! Located in the heart of Transylvania, Cluj has many of ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/best-places-for-digital-nomads-in-cluj/feed/ 9 https://bkpk.me/estonia-eresidency-digital-nomads/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=estonia-eresidency-digital-nomads https://bkpk.me/estonia-eresidency-digital-nomads/#comments Mon, 05 Dec 2016 13:32:13 +0000 Ashray https://bkpk.me/?p=19279
As a digital nomad and internet entrepreneur I love talking about the intersection of location independence, taxes, residence status, visas, and more. One thing that often comes up in these discussions is how the world just isn’t ready for us. Try telling an immigration officer that you “work online” and ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/estonia-eresidency-digital-nomads/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/digital-nomads-tax/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=digital-nomads-tax https://bkpk.me/digital-nomads-tax/#comments Wed, 07 Sep 2016 11:42:33 +0000 Ashray https://bkpk.me/?p=18833
Taxes are complicated. Digital Nomad taxes are even more complicated. The first question that a lot of people ask is “Where am I supposed to pay taxes?”. If you’re lucky, the answer is “nowhere”. If you’re not so lucky, the answer is “it depends”. What’s luck got to do with ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/digital-nomads-tax/feed/ 11 https://bkpk.me/best-places-for-digital-nomads-in-stockholm/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=best-places-for-digital-nomads-in-stockholm https://bkpk.me/best-places-for-digital-nomads-in-stockholm/#comments Wed, 24 Aug 2016 16:02:32 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=18508
Finding free WIFI in Stockholm is certainly not a hard task. This is the Capital of Scandinavia, for Christ’s sake! So finding a good place to work from in Sweden’s main city is not about the connectivity. It’s more about sitting down in a pleasant and inspiring spot.

Helsinki might not be an obvious destination for those who work online. It’s not as affordable as other digital nomad hot spots in Vietnam or Thailand. It doesn’t have the exotic appeal of Bali. Nor the all year round moderate weather that seduces remote workers to Lisbon.

Antigua is the most touristic spot in Guatemala. Apart from receiving a lot of short term visitors, the city is also a hot spot for expats, folks who wants to learn Spanish and digital nomads.

Yesterday, I read a very interesting article by Charlie Guo, a traveler and a digital nomad. The title of the article was I’m Not Living The Dream. In my opinion, Charlie did an excellent job of outlining the problems that digital nomads face.

Lisbon is one of the best European capitals for Digital Nomads looking to get some work done. Sure, the city offers a lot of distractions, but it also welcomes those whose budget might be tighter, in a pretty comfortable way. The Portuguese capital is a welcoming mix of traditional and ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/best-places-for-digital-nomads-in-lisbon/feed/ 24 https://bkpk.me/the-hard-things-about-long-term-travel/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-hard-things-about-long-term-travel https://bkpk.me/the-hard-things-about-long-term-travel/#comments Sun, 05 Jul 2015 09:45:10 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=15760
Travel writing, especially about long term travel, tends to be about The Good Things™. There are indeed a million and one good things about long term travel.

Any digital nomad will know the importance of three things: a good cup of coffee, a fast WiFi connection, and comfortable sofas (bums get sore after a few hours!). Earlier this year, we spent two months in Vietnam, eating, slurping and working our way around the country. Whenever we based ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/the-best-digital-nomad-spaces-in-vietnam/feed/ 24 https://bkpk.me/i-became-a-digital-nomad-it-has-its-challenges-but-its-worth-it/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=i-became-a-digital-nomad-it-has-its-challenges-but-its-worth-it https://bkpk.me/i-became-a-digital-nomad-it-has-its-challenges-but-its-worth-it/#comments Sun, 15 Sep 2013 15:19:20 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=9519
I just came upon a really interesting piece by Alex Pszczolkowski. He thought he wanted to become a digital nomad, but really didn’t. Alex brought up some really interesting points about why ‘Digital Nomadry’ does not work for him.

So I’m a traveling programmer. I used to work 40 hours a week with 20 days paid leave. But last year I quit by job, grabbed my sweetheart and took off to see the world.
