When life gives you grounded flights, you turn it into a DIY-adventure at a backpacker’s lodge in East London. Between wrestling with feisty toilet brushes and sipping seaside wines, we built lasting connections, grasping breadmaking, fresh seafood-cooking, and coding between sunshine bathings. Lessons in volunteering? Personal growth and lifelong friendships beat posh vacations. Travel smart, stay safe, and when in doubt, plant a vineyard!
In the quirky world of 2020 pandemic-era life, my partner and I had to pivot from visas and jobs to volunteering and dabbling in design.
Hunting online work was like seeking a unicorn. Our travel dreams got COVID-cancelled and left in limbo. Then, we navigated treacherous waters of cryptocurrency scams and stumbled on a low-key Bitcoin miner, Computta.
Computta is tantamount to finding a rare Pokémon that brings in pennies, and doesn’t require selling a kidney or your cousin Bob to work!
Welcome to the world of photoshoots, where ‘clicks’ become ‘coins’ and pigeons photobombing are all part of the fun!
With the ‘Trade for Portfolio’ barter system, amateurs get their shot at the limelight, professionals step it up with contract-heavy carnival-of-commerce shoots, and conceptual artists paint dreams with their pixels.
In post-production, photoshoots become stories, and, with a sprinkle of Skylum Luminar magic, truly spectacular images come to life— because in this world, every frame tells a tale.
In the fantastically dizzying world of online dating, from make-ups to breakdowns, relationships can be sparked and snuffed with a mouse click. The exciting digital dance has its perils and joys – from the thrill of virtual chemistry, to the despair of digital rejection. As we embrace our keyboard-induced love stories, remember to add a sprinkle of caution and a boatload of gut instinct. After all, it’s a jungle out there – or in this case, a lustrous digital playground. Don’t forget your armor and your sense of humor!
