Updated August 24, 2024, from my home in Thailand.
The first minute of action is worth more than a year of perfect planning.
Quick Trip to China
Our family made a 3-week trip to Shanghai for mixed reasons: summer holidays, a business trip, and some paperwork we had to take care of. It was great to see some old friends and students, but I must say that after a week or so, I got homesick for Thailand and the slow life we have on Koh Samui. It’s amazing how just a year ago I didn’t want to leave China, but now living in Shanghai just doesn’t make sense to me—too much hustle and too expensive for the lower quality of life. Sorry, folks!
Back to Daily Routines
I’m a big fan and advocate of morning routines, and it’s always good to have one, especially when life gets hectic and you need some grounding and stability. Now I have a simple routine to jumpstart the day:
- Early morning wakeup
- Light training at home
- 30 minutes of reading
- Journaling
Capoeira Samui
After almost a year of sporadic capoeira training on Koh Samui with friends, I’ve decided to launch a mini-site, Instagram, and Facebook page to let the world know about us and connect with local and traveling capoeiristas. Read more about Capoeira Samui on our webpage.
Contributing Locally and Globally
Weekly beach cleanups with Trash Hero and working on a new project for the global capoeira community. For now, I’m going to keep the details under wraps until something tangible comes out.
Back to My Book
After a few months on hiatus, I’ve decided to return to my book project. I’m going to edit and self-publish it with the help of my friends.
