Life Behind the Posts – March 2026
The one featuring One Piece nerds, sausage rolls, and an honest look at being stuck
Hi friends. I hope you’re all doing well and that March was gentle with you. I know a lot of people love March because it finally means Spring, we can get out of hibernation at last.
Meanwhile, here in Bangkok, temperatures are rising from hot to super hot 🥵🤣.
For the 3rd month in a row, I haven’t left the country (or even the city)! The start of the month was slow... then somehow it got super busy!
Every month, I’ll share a more personal look at what’s been going on: where we’ve been, what I’ve been working on, and a few things I’ve discovered or enjoyed along the way. ✨
This isn’t just a travel diary or work recap, it’s a chance to go deeper into the real-life moments behind the posts. Sometimes there are wins, sometimes challenges, but I always try to share something honest, useful, or thought-provoking from what I’ve experienced.
I’ll also include a few of my favorites from the month: books, podcasts, articles, or tools that stood out and might inspire you too.
This post is just for paid subscribers, thank you so much for your support! 💛
I’m keeping these monthly updates behind the paywall for two reasons. First, they’re a lot more personal, it’s a real look into my life, and having it just for paid subscribers makes it feel a bit more protected and private. Second, these take me quite a bit of time to put together. I want them to be complete, thoughtful, and fun, with stories, photos, and things I’ve enjoyed throughout the month. Your support helps me make the time to create something meaningful here. 🙏🏼
March 1st to March 31st: Thailand 🇹🇭
We started the month by exploring our “backyard” a little more. We’re lucky to live close to one of Bangkok’s most popular landmarks: the Big Buddha.
Rosie heard about a new cafe across the river from it, which offers an amazing view of the statue. So one evening, we jumped on motorbikes and headed over. I wouldn’t recommend the cafe, great location… but that’s about it.
We’ve been to the temple many times, so we simply wandered around the small streets and explored the neighborhood. We stayed until sunset to take some photographs of the sun going down behind the statue.
It’s a very local neighborhood, aside from the temple itself. Not many foreigners explore the backstreets, smaller temples, and markets around it. It was really cool to witness local Thai life - a side of Bangkok not often seen, away from the crazy or glamorous parts of the city... but it’s where I feel most at home, in a way.
