Hey! Here’s a little life update.
A lot has happened recently, so I want to record everything one by one. It’s been a while since I last wrote a personal update, but here we go again. There have been so many happy moments lately… so where should I start? Hmm…
Let’s Start with My Investments
Yeah, one of my favourite things these days is investing. I put almost all of my salary into investments now, and honestly, I don’t really buy many things anymore.
I started investing last year, and so far my portfolio has been growing really well. The timing couldn’t have been better!
I know trading options can be crazy, and yes, I’ve tried it too. My returns weren’t always great, but through that experience I learned that ETFs and bank stocks suit me much better. They grow more slowly, but the returns have been surprisingly good, and I actually enjoy the slower, steadier approach.
Because of investing, I’ve also met so many new friends. We talk about stocks, discuss the future of the market, and share different opinions on investing.
I’m still not the best at reading financial news, but everyone has been incredibly patient and willing to explain things to me. Thank you to everyone for being so kind!
My Travel Plan
Yup! I’ve been planning my next adventure, and it might finally be the beginning of my digital nomad life.
I think I’ll start sometime next year, probably somewhere in Asia.
What’s even more surprising is that quite a few friends want to travel with me. Honestly, I never thought that would happen! We’ve started talking about different destinations and making some early plans. We’ll see if we can actually turn those ideas into reality.
Sometimes it’s difficult for me to write about future plans because I never know if they’ll actually happen. I don’t want to promise something that might change later.
Becoming a digital nomad has been on my bucket list for a very long time. Maybe this is finally the right time… or maybe not. I honestly don’t know yet, but I’m excited to see where life takes me.
Life Lately
Life has been pretty normal.
I’ve been working, saving money, and continuing to invest. Things have been going well, so I really can’t complain.
We also have a new coworker. She’s in her 40s, but sometimes she still thinks like a child. I feel like I have to guide her through everything step by step. It’s definitely been an interesting experience!
Oh, and Anthony recently visited Europe with his mum. He sent me some beautiful sunset photos, and it looked like they had such an amazing time. Seeing his photos made me even more excited for my own upcoming trips.
Maybe this time I’ll travel with some friends—or even with people who follow my travel page! A few of them have actually asked if we could travel together one day. I never expected that, but I’m really grateful.
Back to Journaling
Recently, the only thing I’ve really been spending money on is my journaling hobby.
I’ve bought a few new Traveler’s Notebook inserts, along with some stationery and journaling supplies. I really want to carry my notebook around more often and record little moments whenever I’m out.
More than anything, I want to document my everyday life and future travels so I can look back on these memories years from now.
The more I watch people’s journaling videos and browse through their notebooks online, the more addicted I become! It’s honestly such an inspiring hobby, especially since I haven’t journaled consistently for quite a while.
It’s time to start making simple memories again.
I actually brought one of my Traveler’s Notebooks with me during my trip to China, and I’m really glad I did.
So that’s all for today’s little life update. I can’t wait to see what I’ll be writing about in my next post.
What about you? What’s been happening in your life recently?
