2024 Year in Review

But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.

The years... when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.

– Carl Gustav Jung, 1957

As 2024 draws to a close, I once again honour my birthday tradition of reflecting on the year gone by (past reviews linked here for context).

This year, according to NomadList, I travelled an astonishing 95,082km across 16 countries and 5 continents—covering 8% of the world. To put that in perspective, I circled the Earth twice and made it 0.2 of the way to the Moon!

But beyond the numbers, 2024 was a year of quiet transformation—a time to embrace a slower pace, discover inner peace, and accept life’s natural rhythm. Instead of chasing milestones, I found fulfilment in allowing moments to unfold as they were meant to.

January

This month, I travelled between Hangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou, Jinan, and Beijing, catching up with friends and family. After that, I flew to Tokyo, a city I hadn’t visited in nearly ten years, to reconnect with old friends. Thinking back to my first trip to Japan, things were so different—technology wasn’t nearly as advanced, and with my patchy Japanese and lots of gesturing, I still managed to have an amazing time exploring on my own.

In my twenties, I loved travelling like a soldier on a mission, determined to see every landmark and check off all the sights within a tight schedule. This time in Tokyo, though, was completely different—focused on relaxation and enjoying the moment. I spent my days sitting in cafés having long, meandering chats with friends, wandering peacefully through temples, exploring quirky shops, and treating myself to good food and drink. Most importantly, I was gathering inspiration for the creative projects I’ve planned this year. A fun surprise during this trip was drawing a fortune slip at Senso-ji Temple. Last time, I got the “greatest luck”; this time, it was a “lucky fortune,” and it encouraged me to travel more—a perfect match for my plans!

One of the most rewarding moments of the year has been finally finishing Jung’s The Red Book. A decade ago, I thought his work was pretentious and mystical. Now, I find myself wanting to copy down every word he wrote. Without enough life experience, even the most profound truths can seem meaningless. Many ideas and concepts only truly resonate once you’ve gone through enough yourself to understand their depth. I feel incredibly grateful that life has brought Jung’s work back to me at this stage. As he said: "The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it."

February

This month, I flew back to Portugal and, to my surprise, ended up on a flight where a friend of mine was working as a flight attendant. I was treated like a VIP the whole way—pampered and overfed like a pig!

To better experience the local lifestyle, I’ve moved to an old neighbourhood where locals live, and I’ve really come to appreciate the warmth and charm of life in a close-knit community. In Lisbon, it’s common for people to hang their laundry outside their windows. One challenge, though, is that on windy days, your clothes often end up in your downstairs neighbour’s yard. That’s how I got to know my ground-floor neighbour. At first, I felt awkward constantly visiting to retrieve my clothes, so I started bringing chocolates for her kids as a gesture of goodwill. Now, the kids get so excited whenever they see me—it’s adorable :)

The elderly Portuguese lady across the hall has been a lifesaver too. Despite having trouble walking, she helps me collect packages and even oversees repairs in my flat. I have a habit of buying flowers, and I often bring her a few stems when I do. Seeing her face light up with joy always makes my day. Living here has shown me how kind people can be—like the time I forgot to remove my keys from the door. They stayed there all day, and no one touched them. One morning, the man upstairs left me a note saying, “I saw your keys in the door early this morning but didn’t want to disturb your sleep, so I took them for safekeeping. Feel free to let me know when you’re awake, and I’ll bring them down.” His thoughtfulness left me deeply touched.

I feel incredibly lucky that wherever I’ve been as a digital nomad, I’ve been met with kindness from strangers. I’ve never experienced racism or felt unsafe. The love and care I’ve received inspire me to give back and spread that same love to others, keeping it in motion.

This month, my best friend Ellen and I, despite being on opposite sides of the globe, participated in our first CrossFit Open remotely together. After spending three months on holiday in China, barely working out, I was coaxed into joining by my coach. I quickly realised how unprepared I was. Even my favourite exercise, burpees, felt impossible to do consecutively. Box jumps left my legs sore after just a few reps, and the lack of preparation combined with “no reps” calls from the judges wrecked my confidence. Seeing my dismal scores and struggling with things I used to be good at was deeply discouraging. It felt like something I’d once taken pride in had suddenly been taken away. Thankfully, my CrossFit teammates and Ellen’s encouragement helped keep me from spiralling into full-blown self-sabotage.

After three weeks of recovery training, I finally found my rhythm again. I’m proud I didn’t give up this time, unlike in the past when I would quit at the first sign of difficulty. The satisfaction of feeling my body improve has outweighed the initial setbacks, and I now understand David Goggins’ words on a deeper level: “Whether or not you’ve been bullied, the world will one day show you its cruelty. You must build yourself into someone who can withstand any pressure life throws at you. Trauma and destruction will come, but you cannot let them block the path to your dreams.”

Most people aren’t defeated by major events but by a series of seemingly trivial setbacks that cause them to gradually give up on themselves. The greatest enemy is often within—don’t let that voice saying “I can’t do it” take control. And certainly don’t let the noise from others hold you back. Find the struggles you’re willing to endure, and carry that weight forward with purpose.

March

Last year, something remarkably coincidental happened. One weekend, my delightfully eccentric friend came to Lisbon to visit me. She had just arrived from Basel, Switzerland, and shared fascinating stories about the philosopher and educator Rudolf Steiner, as well as her incredible experiences at the Goetheanum. Later, I met up for coffee with a new friend I’d recently gotten to know in Singapore, who had just moved to Lisbon and lived nearby. To my surprise, she also knew my eccentric friend—and they’d even been to Basel together! The next day, I met a guy at the gym, and when I asked where he was from, it turned out he was also from Basel. He enthusiastically recommended I visit the Goetheanum too. When we exchanged Instagram accounts, I discovered he and my Singapore friend were former classmates!

With so many signals from the universe, how could I not visit Basel? So, this March, I found myself in Switzerland, exploring the marvellous Goetheanum and learning more about the brilliant Rudolf Steiner. Born in 1861, Steiner was a pioneer of both natural and spiritual sciences in the 20th century, particularly in the context of practical life and spirituality. He founded the Anthroposophy movement, a holistic spiritual philosophy that emphasises the interconnectedness of individuals and the universe, advocating personal growth and harmony with the world through inner exploration.

Steiner’s ideas placed great importance on education as a means of nurturing the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit. He viewed art as an expression deeply connected to the universe and the human soul. Throughout his life, he wrote over 40 books, published 270 volumes of essays, and delivered more than 6,000 lectures.

To truly know the world, look deeply within your own being; to truly know yourself, take real interest in the world.

- Rudolf Steiner

The Goetheanum, nestled amidst lush greenery, is a physical manifestation of Steiner’s spiritual ideals. Its unique architectural design makes it not only the heart of Anthroposophy but also a sanctuary for spiritual exploration. On my first day in Basel, I ended up sleeping for 12 hours straight, waking up brimming with vivid dreams and writing inspiration. No wonder so many writers, poets, and even Nobel laureates have chosen to live here—it’s a place that seems to radiate creativity and wisdom.

Reflecting on the series of coincidences that led me here, I couldn’t help but realise that each of our lives seems to follow an inevitable theme. Sometimes, you easily recognise your life’s recurring lessons; other times, they feel misaligned or unwelcome, leaving you wanting to escape. But there’s no running away. When the same thing keeps appearing in your life, it’s rarely a coincidence—it’s the universe sending you a message. If you ignore it or refuse to take action, it becomes an obstacle you can’t overcome, trapping you in a loop.

April

Whenever friends ask me which European country I love the most, I always answer without hesitation: Italy! Inevitably, they follow up with, “Then why don’t you move there?” That’s when I quote Eileen Chang’s famous line about the red and white roses: the most beautiful things are best admired from a distance, not indulged in too closely. Visiting once or twice a year and staying for a short while allows me to preserve Italy’s unique charm without risking familiarity dulling its magic.

This month, I returned to Milan and happened to catch the 10th-anniversary celebration of The Tim Ferriss Show. Inspired by the occasion, I organised an impromptu gathering and unexpectedly met two lovely Italians who are coincidentally about to move to Portugal. Life has a funny way of connecting the dots. Tim Ferriss has had a massive influence on me since I started following him in 2017. Whether it was experimenting with his recommended "Transcendental Meditation," drinking AG1 greens, or reading The 4-Hour Workweek series, his ideas have shaped my journey towards a freelance lifestyle. In many ways, he’s been like a guiding light, subtly steering my decisions. Fun fact: the person who first convinced me to move to Portugal was actually a mutual friend of Tim’s! Now, I’m dreaming of inviting Tim to be a guest on my podcast one day. Fingers crossed!

This month also took me to Barcelona and Marseille. There’s something about being in a new environment that gives you a sense of freedom. Knowing your stay is temporary makes it easier to take risks and try things you wouldn’t ordinarily do. For instance, I experimented with creating a fake identity to respond to strangers chatting me up or ordering in restaurants using hastily learned phrases to see if the locals could understand me. A writer’s world thrives on layered experiences. When imagination runs dry or opportunities seem scarce, you just have to create your own.

I like to treat the world as one giant playground—living freely, acting on whims, and embracing the moment!

May

Although I’ve lived in Lisbon for more than two years, every time friends come to visit, guiding them through the familiar streets and alleys always reveals something new about the city. Strolling along the seaside, climbing to panoramic viewpoints, and soaking in the sunshine with good food and company—May in Lisbon is pure bliss!

This reminds me of a transformative Huachuma retreat I attended in the mountains not far from Porto. During the experience, I climbed snowy peaks, journeyed back to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and felt my soul shapeshift into a lion, a monkey, and even a stone. It was as if my spirit could inhabit any being, living through its essence and emotions. At one point, I asked the universe: After millions of years, is there anything still “new” to you? Anything that doesn’t bore you? In that trance-like state, the answer came clearly: Stay childlike—approach everything with wonder, as if experiencing it for the first time. Even in the mundane, seek those fleeting moments of awe.

Krishnamurti said that learning about oneself is extraordinarily challenging because the self is in constant motion. To study something alive, you must observe it with fresh eyes at every moment, never relying on past knowledge. The self is not a static object but a living entity that demands continuous attention. He suggested that you must let go of what you learned about yourself in one moment to approach the next moment anew, always observing with a fresh perspective.

My mentor,

Tom Morgan

, once described the state of dynamic balance we all strive for as “the Tao.” But the irony is that this balance cannot be defined in precise terms. As soon as we try to describe it, the Tao becomes fixed, contradicting its very nature. The best way to understand the self, he said, is to enter a state of spontaneous flow, dancing with life in a rhythm of complete naturalness. There’s no formula for achieving this, no teacher to guide you step by step, and no shortcut through imitation. It can only be found by listening to your inner voice and immersing yourself fully in your own unique experiences.

June

As a kid, I grew up watching Barcelona matches and learning about Catalan history. Back then, I would firmly declare that I’d never set foot in Madrid, let alone watch a Real Madrid game! But as I grew older, I realised these rivalries are just stories we tell ourselves. Life’s too short to miss out on good food and fun experiences just because of some imaginary line in the sand. So this month, I joined some gym friends for a wild and delicious foodie adventure in Madrid.

Funnily enough, the trip started with a hiccup—I lost my passport as soon as I landed! My first stop in Madrid ended up being the police station to file a report. It reminded me of my first time missing a flight, which happened in Barcelona. Now my first time losing an important document was in Madrid. It seems Spain has a knack for keeping me around longer than planned!

June in Lisbon, on the other hand, is all about festivities. If you’re visiting Portugal this time of year, you’ll get to experience the Festas dos Santos Populares (Festivals of the Popular Saints), one of the country’s most vibrant traditions. These celebrations take over cities like Lisbon and Porto, with street parties, traditional dances, concerts, mass weddings, and parades. Alfama, in particular, becomes the heart of the action, with narrow streets packed with stalls selling grilled sardines, Portuguese sausages, and sweets. Couples line up in front of churches for blessings, as Saint Anthony is the patron saint of marriage and love.

This month has been a non-stop celebration with Pride Month 🌈 and the Euro Cup adding even more excitement to the mix. Cheers to endless festivities and unforgettable moments!

July

Three years in kindergarten, three years at one primary school before transferring to another for three more, followed by three years of middle school, three years of high school, three years of university, two years of postgraduate study, two years at my first full-time job, and three years at my second. Since becoming a freelancer, my pace of changing environments and roles has only intensified. It’s as if my body and mind are hardwired for this constant cycle of renewal—others may talk about a “seven-year itch,” but for me, it’s more like every two years that I start itching for something new.

Over dinner with a friend this month, we talked about how we feel when it’s time to say goodbye. My friend has moved between places many times, often due to external forces like visa issues or job transfers, and he confessed that each farewell feels heartbreaking and lingers painfully. For me, however, it’s always been a choice. After a few hours of bittersweet goodbyes and maybe a sore throat from holding back tears, I’m soon swept up in a wave of exhilaration—fuelled by the thrill of diving into the unknown.

I’m reminded of the character Yuddy in Days of Being Wild, who speaks of a legendary “footless bird” that spends its entire life flying, only landing when it dies. This metaphor reflects his relentless pursuit of freedom and his deep sense of loneliness, a duality that resonates with my own restless spirit. Similarly, I recently revisited Wu Kong Zhuan after the hype surrounding Black Myth: Wukong, and those fiery, rebellious words still struck a chord:

"I want this sky to no longer block my sight;
I want this earth to no longer bury my heart;
I want all living beings to understand my will;
I want all gods and Buddhas to vanish like smoke.
This world—I've been here, I've fought, I've loved deeply. I don’t care about the ending."

I can’t quite recall how I felt when I first read these lines in high school, but rereading them now makes me think how precious freedom and rebellion truly are. They shouldn’t be traded away for the tick-tock of a societal clock just because we’ve grown older. Life is precious, love is priceless, but for freedom, both can be abandoned.

This month, I also had a dream that left a deep impression on me. In the dream, I was in some sort of challenge, completing tasks and dodging traps. I was constantly running, leaping, avoiding ambushes, and staying alert to schemes. Exhausted, I reached a pair of elevators—one going up and one going down. I stood there, anxiously analysing which to take, when a voice suddenly told me, “You don’t have to choose either. You can just leave the game.” That made so much sense! So I stopped moving, removed my gear and weapons, and watched the entire scene collapse. I was free—and then I woke up.

This dream felt like a revelation. Many of life’s so-called rules, expectations, and timelines are like the rules of a game: you only need to follow them if you choose to play. But if you decide not to play, or if you create your own game, then those rules simply don’t apply. In this chaotic theatre stage, we call the world, why not alternate between playing along with the established games and inventing your own? That’s where the real fun begins!

August

When people say surreal they mean real, it's just most of your life is not very real, just repetition and routine.

— Norm Macdonald

This month, a conversation with a friend led us to the 17th-century French mathematician, philosopher, and mystic Blaise Pascal. We discussed his famous Pascal’s Wager, which explores the relationship between faith and reason. In essence, Pascal argued that while we can’t prove whether God exists, the rational choice is to believe. If you’re wrong, you lose nothing. But if you don’t believe and God does exist, you risk everything.

My friend pointed out that this logic could also apply to marriage. If you know marriage statistically benefits happiness, then it’s rational to believe in it. Even if love and passion fade, you don’t lose much by staying together. In fact, I know many people who marry for reasons other than love—economic stability or mutual benefit, for instance (House of Cards comes to mind). As long as both parties are clear about their motives, there’s nothing inherently wrong with this arrangement.

As for me, I know I’m not the kind of person who can stay romantically interested in someone for very long (though that affection might evolve into a deep familial bond over time). My reasons for considering marriage would likely strike others as odd. But in this absurd carnival called life, how many choices really hold up to scrutiny? As long as I can take responsibility for my decisions and find joy in the process, that’s all that matters.

Here’s a poem I wrote this month:

In fractured light and shadow,

I glimpse the world's jagged edge,

Where chaos' tides roll endlessly,

And twilight melds day with night.

The wind's whisper, an endless dirge,

Dust swirls like tattered dreams,

Each mote a silent storyteller

Of harsh truths in disorder's realm.

Beneath the crowd's cheer, loneliness hides,

Voices lost in clamorous waves,

In this boundless disarray,

Order seems mere happenstance.

So I dance in the void, whirling,

Each turn questioning illusion,

Each leap pondering existence,

My movements, broken symbols,

Etching cryptic truths eternal.

Yet do you sense it growing,

In this disordered ballet?

A secret joy unfurling?

In each chaotic moment,

We savour a strange delight.

September

This month marks my official start at the Network School! I’m now living on a small, Solar Punk-esque island alongside over 100 entrepreneurs and creators from the tech and finance world. The daily routine here is structured yet flexible: waking up at 7:30 am, an hour of exercise at 8, breakfast and conversations with classmates at 9, then diving into work at 10. Lunch is another opportunity for group chats, and twice a week, we have lectures led by

Balaji

or guest speakers. Afternoons are spent working in the co-working space, followed by a 5:30 meditation session, dinner discussions at 7, and lights out by 10. Beyond this, there are countless self-organised interest groups such as AI film screenings, coding sessions, DeFi workshops, etc. and weekends are for city explorations or quick trips to neighbouring Southeast Asian countries. It’s an environment brimming with structure, inspiration, and flexibility.

I’ve adapted seamlessly to this setting—ideas are flowing endlessly, and I only wish I had more hands to turn all this inspiration into writing. Within the first week, I wrote two sci-fi short stories, both sparked by dinner conversations with classmates. In the past, I often ate alone or arranged one-on-one meals with close friends. Now, I’ve discovered the joy of 3–5 people roundtable discussions. There’s nothing quite like brainstorming with people who share your values and ideologies. The ideas and energy here at school are simply electric.

Balaji shared an insightful observation: we can easily map the physical world in our minds, but creating a map of the digital world is far more complex. This tendency to connect with those physically close to us is natural, but the internet has shattered that limitation, allowing us to maintain deep relationships with people thousands of miles away. In this context, shared values and interests matter more than geographic proximity. He also noted that the changes from 2000 to today far outpace those from 1980 to 2000, and the next 20 years will bring transformations beyond what humanity can currently imagine.

Balaji’s vision encompasses immutable money, infinite frontier and eternal life. He believes that strong leadership resembles that of a startup CEO, prioritising innovation above all. This includes building infrastructure for remote work, using smart contracts to shape adaptive regulations, and leveraging VR to simulate and crowdfund urban development.

Being part of this vibrant ecosystem feels like stepping into a glimpse of the future, where the fusion of technology, creativity, and community sets the foundation for what’s possible. I’m excited to see how this experience continues to shape not just my writing, but my entire worldview.

October

Over the past 21 days, I’ve crossed three continents, flying a total of 44,826 kilometres. My body clock is in complete disarray, but my mind and spirit have never felt so clear. From the Portuguese coast to the spring city of China, from Malaysia’s Forest City to the dazzling chaos of New York and the serene countryside mansions of Connecticut—when opportunity knocks, no matter the timezone, you answer. This is what freedom should feel like.

"n the face of an unfree world, the only way to deal with it is to become so free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
—Albert Camus

Living at the Network School for the past month has felt like being back on a university campus. Mornings are spent working out at the gym with my Polish big sis, followed by problem-solving sessions with many American classmates. Afternoons are for tea and spiritual chats with my Singaporean friends, while evenings bring go-karting adventures with Dutch and Canadian classmates or late-night football-watching sessions with my Scottish friend.

Balaji has an incredible knack for attracting remarkable people. Earlier, he brought Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin to live, eat, and teach with us. This month, he invited Jess Pollak from Base, whose energy is nothing short of infectious. The moment Jess took the stage, his passion had everyone fired up. By the end of his talk, students were ready to dive into building projects on the Base blockchain.

Here’s a more in-depth article explaining why I believe web3 is important for non-coders like me.

November

The beauty of embracing extremes is how it expands your comfort zone in ways you never thought possible. Take ultra-long-haul flights, for example—after flying from New Zealand to the UK or Singapore to New York, no destination feels too far or too inconvenient anymore. Having survived 20- to 30-hour journeys, I rarely find myself thinking, “That’s impossible.” Then there’s the time I did a 31-hour, 100-kilometre hike with no sleep. It completely shifted my mindset. I no longer saw myself as delicate or fragile, and instead, I became excited to take on any physical challenge. Even in spiritual exploration, I dove straight into the deep end with an Ayahuasca ceremony. Now, I can easily spot pseudo-spiritual scams for what they are and steer clear.

For me, life is about pushing boundaries as far as they can go. I’m drawn to bold, transformative experiences, the kind that challenge you, change your perspective, and leave a lasting imprint. Goals should be audacious, big enough to make you a little scared. It’s go big or go home, because if you’re not aiming high, what’s the point? Even failing at something monumental feels more meaningful than never trying at all.

This month, I’m super glad to announce the release of my third English book! Let me just say, the efficiency in China is unparalleled—after a week back, I’ve been on fire with energy and momentum. The book, Life Begins in a Foreign Land, explores my journey of self-discovery and growth across New Zealand, the UK, and Portugal. It’s about redefining what “home” and belonging mean as a digital nomad. But it’s more than just my story; it’s a deeper reflection on embracing change, questioning the status quo, and breaking out of your comfort zone.

You can find it on Amazon or Apple Books—happy reading! 🎉📚

December

This month, as Bitcoin surged past $100K and memecoins exploded, the buzz around web3 has made a strong return in the venture world. Once overshadowed by AI, web3 is now rising again. As a writer, it might seem strange for me to care about web3 and crypto, but its development matters deeply to me. It represents a future of creative independence, ownership, and new possibilities for creators to thrive. If you’re curious, I invite you to read my latest piece: web3 for Non-Coders.

Over the past few years, my travels and lifestyle have centred around familiar anchor points—places where I can pause, unpack, and feel at home, without being tied down by a permanent residency or drifting aimlessly. Instead of chasing novelty for its own sake, I now move between well-loved destinations that welcome me with a quiet, familiar warmth.

At the moment, my anchor points span New Zealand, the UK, Portugal, Italy, China, and my current home in Forest City. Each of these places has carved out its own season in my life. Winter finds me in New Zealand, soaking in generous, golden sunshine that feels like a refuge for body and spirit, a balm against the dark, cold northern hemisphere. Spring belongs to Lisbon, where the winter haze gives way to a burst of colour and warmth. Sunlight dances on the tiled facades, trams clatter through the narrow streets, and the air is rich with the scents of pastries, seafood, wine, and sea breeze. Summer takes me back to London. Mornings are for slow, quiet walks through Hyde Park; afternoons, for bookshops and galleries, where the scent of paper and paint seems to settle my thoughts. Evenings bring laughter with friends in beer gardens or pubs, carried away on the soft hum of the evening breeze. By autumn, I return to Italy. The streets are filled with the aroma of freshly ground coffee, wood-fired pizza, and olive oil.

As for Forest City, my current base, it feels like a precision-filtered experiment, a 21st-century version of Silicon Valley reborn. Here, creators and tech innovators from around the globe gather to refine ideas and spark inspiration. It’s a place where the conversation about the future never stops. Being here feels like pressing my ear to the pulse of tomorrow, hearing innovation course through its veins.

Looking forward to next year, I hope to expand my network of meaningful stops, creating new connections and memories in places I’ve yet to explore. The beauty of this kind of borderless life lies in its fluidity and adaptability. It’s about carving your own path and redefining what home means on your own terms. For me, home isn’t a single location—it’s the collective warmth of the people and places that give me a sense of belonging and completeness.

As the year winds down, I hope you take a moment to reflect on your own journeys, connections, and the places that make you feel most alive. Whether you’re exploring new horizons or finding comfort in the familiar, may the rest of this year bring you joy and inspiration. Here’s to an exciting, fulfilling, and adventurous year ahead—have fun and make it count!
