This month marks the 15th year since I published my very first blog post.

I wasn’t a traveler then, just a student with too much time in his hands to ramble about a whole lotta nothing. 😂

Back then, I would step into an internet shop, rent a computer, and just keep the keyboard clanking for an hour or two. I could write about anything I wanted, without any pressure to build an audience, maintain traffic or earn income.

I didn’t know there was an active blogging community outside my bubble. Back then, in my world, it was just me, words, and freedom.

Of course, I’m happy (and lucky) I get to do this for a living. But I still miss those times.
