Kids are always eager to make lasting memories, and this snorkeling trip will be one of them. Wendy and the kids wanted to escape the burning season in Chiang Mai, and were “bored” of the regular Hua Hin trip (where I did the mastermind) and picked Pattaya this time. Easy to get to with a 1 hour-ish ride from Bangkok …
Family Camping to Bring in the 2025 New Year
A family vlog. Taking you with me as a family of 4 takes an hour’s drive outside of Chiang Mai to go camping. We had a nice pit stop at an elephant cafe where we could enjoy some snacks and drinks and feed the elephants. This was high-end luxury camping though – 2 story house with a full bathroom and …
Family Christmas in Thailand 2024
A low key family Christmas. Kids are at an age to try to make the most of the time with them before they get bigger and forget about us ha! On Christmas eve went ice skating with a bunch of kids from school, and then a small dinner with us and Mina (as her dad John was sick). Luckily the …

Integrating Family and Business, Weekend Business Meetings
Family and business, you know I am a workaholic. Typing this up physically and mentally exhausted from intense creating and building. To have your own business is a blessing, yet is also a massive pressure. To add on top raising a family – and many of you know the thought process and challenges. For me, I am trying to integrate …
Family Portrait – Snapshot in Time, Reflect What We Are Here For
Wendy and I were having an abstract chat the other day – about life, children, death – the circle of life. How fast life goes by. It is true what they say – having kids is really a timer to show you how fast flies by. Our children are 8 and 10 years old. Still feels like yesterday at the …
Family Trip to The Thai Hot Springs
We are in summer! Kids finished school a couple weeks ago, just as I got back from the epic 3 week multi country Southeast Asia trip – and we need to do some family bonding. Wendy picked a local hot spring and we made it a family effort to research, book, and go! Also practicing having my kids more active …
Another year in the books, turning 43 years old
Hard to believe I am turning 43 years old. My brain still feels like the 20s. Reflecting on last year, what an epic year of leveling up. Working on an entire new ecommerce protocol, pushing through re-building the Cross Border Summit, and trying my best to be a good husband and father all the while. Glancing in the mirror at …
Family Day! Swimming on a Saturday Afternoon
Back in Chiang Mai from a hyperactive Prague /Copenhagen business trip, jet lag was a 1 day delay to hit me. Getting some rest and relaxation on Saturday when my daughter Maggie comes to me and asks. Daddy- can we go swimming! Please!!! You know, life is short. There is a pile of work on my desk, especially for the …
Back to School For The Kids, Happier than Ever
Summer is over! Thailand schools start rather early (early to mid-August). Miles and Maggie got started right in the middle- Tuesday, Aug 15 and have been looking forward to it all summer. Mike takes you a bit behind the scenes of the family flow, and life in Thailand, and asks the kids how they are doing – 1 year since …
Rollercoasters! Family Trip to Universal Studios Singapore
YOLO – had to take the kids to finally go on a ROLLER COASTER. Can you believe – no roller coasters in Thailand? So we are here in Singapore and just had to bite the bullet and do it. Kids are at a great age to go at 7 and 9 years old and will be a lifelong memory. Tip …
Singapore with the Family in July 2023
Wendy wants the kids to be true international travelers – and took them to Kuala Lumpur while I’m here grinding in the summer of 2023. Yet she can’t have all the fun on her own – and as she and the kids travel over to Singapore I booked a flight to meet them for a few days before we all …
The Kids Made an NFT Collection: “I Love Mommy”
For the past few months, Miles and Maggie have been attending a Sunday afternoon painting class – and the artwork they bring back is top notch! They make them for various family members, mom, dad, grandma, etc. Now that some may be shipped to China – I frantically thought – we need to digitally scan these! And if we are …
Family Visit to Hua Hin, Thailand (Beaches & Birthday)
Another VLOG – since back “on the road” may as well carry the camera and document it. This time we go to Hua Hin in the South of Thailand. My wife and kids have been here to escape the burning season of the north, as well as to enjoy some time at the beach (it is a school break in …
Grand Canyon Water Park Chiang Mai for Daughter’s Birthday
Oh, to be a father of a daughter turning 7. Seems like that age when she is forming her own mind and can no longer be “contained” by my influence ha! Maggie is a super independent kid and we chiseled it out more this past Saturday at a “family day” trip to We arrived 10am-ish and for sure were one …
