Man, anywhere. I think I wrote it in some blog posts and like, It was a common thing when you would wake up and this was like, because I have this website. I started a website about this digital nomads like called nomadlist.com and there was a community. So it was like 30,000 other digital nomads because I was feeling lonely. So I built this website and I stopped feeling lonely.
Like I started organizing meetups and making friends. And it was very common that people would say they would wake up and they would forget where they are. Yeah. like for the first half minute. And I had to look outside, like, where am I? Which country? Which sounds really like privileged, but it's more like funny. Like you literally don't know where you are because you're so disrooted.

That's like in my daily life that doesn't function well. And that's a problem that you can see, okay, maybe that's something I can write code about, you know, code for, and it will make my life easier.

Yeah, but that's where travel comes in. because when I started traveling, I started seeing stuff in other countries that you didn't have in Europe, for example, or America, even like, if you go to Asia, uh, Like, dude, especially 10 years ago, nobody knew about this. Like WeChat, all these apps that they already had before we had them. These everything apps, right?
