Hi Out Of Office Crew! 🩷
Happy to report I’m back in Bangkok! I was originally going to travel to southern Taiwan after I finished teaching. Unfortunately, there was a lot of flooding due to the passing typhoon (OMG), so it was better not to go.
BUT I am now back in Bangkok, which is never a punishment. Did I go to my fav restaurant immediately? Check. Ordered a matcha? Check. Book a padel match? Check. Straight back to my previous routine, I love it 😊.
This week though.. I am working on some really cool projects. There are so many great things to come! Which I’ll tell you all about soon🤭
Not to mention all the amazing deals I found.. Take a looook! ✨
Skip to the good part:
What’s next is almost here.
On July 16th at 1PM ET, beehiiv is going live with a look at the future of publishing, audience growth, and digital business.
What started as a newsletter platform has evolved into something much bigger: a place where creators and brands can grow, monetize, and own their audiences without stitching together half the internet to make it work.
The next chapter starts live at the Summer Release Event.
Join us to see what’s coming next.
🎙️ This week’s podcast

Curious? Check it out now! 💕✨
