About Us:
I’m PJ. My partner, inspiration, trainer, chef, and moral compass, Risa, are what we (reluctantly) refer to as, digital nomads. I say, reluctantly, as I’ve been living the digital nomad lifestyle for about 15 years now (long before the term was coined, and became the cheesy trend it is today. It seems that everyone these days on vacation with a laptop, a pina colada next to them, Avicii on their headphones, and a dozen memory sticks filled with selfies now considers themselves a (don’t forget the hashtag) digital nomad.
I started out at age 19. I quit my job at the time, to focus on the then still relatively unknown arbitrage business model as applied on eBay. Long story short, I saw an opportunity, invested all I had in it (time + money) and by my early 20s, I no longer had any interest in returning to Canada (where I grew up). I bounced mostly around Asia, for many years (all the usual nomad hotspots: Thailand, Vietnam, S. Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, with a preference for Japan (lived all over Japan, from Tokyo, to the most remote Japanese islands in the Pacific).
In late 2013, one of my returns to Tokyo, I met a captivating young woman, Risa, who helped me to re-calibrate my high-flyin’, rock-star lifestyle and regain focus. Within a few months of meeting, she elected to quit her job in Tokyo and joined me on this nomadic journey. This channel, will document our perpetual traveller lifestyle. It’s not always easy, it’s not always fun. There are highs and lows. Sometimes money is very tight, other times it seems like it’s the least of our worries. But when done right, the digital nomad lifestyle is a journey unlike any other.
Over the last few years, we generally stay off the beaten path and instead venture into areas seldom spoken about in digital nomad circles. You won’t see us visiting Bali, Saigon, or Bangkok. Been there, got the SIM card, and still feel a bit hungover.
As we travel, we focus on personal growth, on disconnecting, unlearning, and thus thriving. We attempt to engage in philanthropy when we can. We respect the cultures kind enough to allow us to visit their land and their homes.
Feel free to send us feedback, comments, suggestions. Thank you for taking an interest in our journey. More videos of exotic places, stories, and people, will be uploaded weekly. As a demonstration of my gratitude to you for taking an interest in us, I will continue improving the quality of the content I create for you on a regular basis.

I really liked this video too. Lovely to watch. Love that your vegans. What’s your favourite place out of all your travels? Post more soon. I wonder where you both are now.
Great video ! Went to Krakow from London last month. Very safe place no police or to be scared of any terrorism. Pure Europe high 🏨 standard good prices and quality of a food happy kids they have seen live nativity scene with all animals. I was surprised that everything looks new .I don't know how
Krakow and the whole of Poland are exceptionally beautiful and diverse. A lot of wonderful monuments and modernity. The only thing you have to warn everyone about is not to enter the clubs where someone is urging you, invites you – it's a trap. On the spot you will be surrounded by ugly dancers gogo, peeled with money and will give you a free drink with an aesthetic. Nobody will help you later. the police and the media pretend nothing is happening and this is in line with the local law.Generally disgusting looks a walk in the center of Krakow in the evening and at night – every 10 seconds you will be urged to enter the strip club. Such a 20-minute walk is about 200 provocations. It makes the city look ridiculous.
Thanks PJ Sounds amazing. Looking forward to more videos. I feel like I’m there when watching. I love the easy going nature and the way you film. You capture the innocence of the moment so well. It’s great to see different places. Love vegan food. I’m vegetarian for over 30 years but vegan is another level. Hope you get some cat visitors in the mountains again. Love to Risa.⛰
