USA 2011 Trip – It’s Really About People And Not About Places And Statues

I just came back from a nice trip in the USA and I am sharing this post partly as a journal of my travels and partly to share some thoughts on traveling and what makes it special.

So often the travels are based around attractions and places to see but in my experience the fondest memories do not come from non-living statues and places but from meeting new people and interacting with them.

My trip would have been far more boring and FAR more expensive if I didn’t know – or got to meet – some wonderful people.

I started my journey on 26th of August at Slovenian airport with my best friend and tennis buddy Urban. Read more

USA Trip – September 2011

I am planning a trip to the US Open tennis tournament at the end of August and will be staying in the USA for the most of September.

If you’d like to meet, share a pizza and a beer – let me know!

I’ll be in NYC and have time to meet from 5th to 9th of September.

Then I am off to Milwaukee where I’ll stay a day or two. Read more

Sightseeing in Singapore

I just spent 10 days sightseeing in Singapore. This was my third time in Singapore and it was a blast.

The city is modern, clean, organized and it has tons of cool attractions that make your trip very colorful.

Here are some of the Singapore attractions that I checked out this time and that I recommend you visit… Read more

10 Days In Istanbul – Tennis And Sightseeing

This is just a quick record of my recent trip to Istanbul where I was teaching tennis for 10 days and had a chance to meet a fellow SBI-er who showed me around.

I was invited to Istanbul by Vejen, my good friend by now from Turkey whom I taught tennis already 2 years ago in Slovenia.

Vejen and me and the public tennis court where we trained

He found my website through Google (of course), realized that I know something about tennis and decided to visit me for tennis lessons. (I must have presold him with lots of quality content. )

This year he wanted to come again but since Slovenia was getting quite cold in October I suggested instead that I come down south to Turkey. Read more

Checking Out Chicago

I’ve been busy with tennis coaching in the last month hence lack of posts on freedomideas.com. ;(

But I was also planning to visit Chicago for some personal reasons – there are some personal development seminars that I will attend.

So if there’s anyone from Chicago that wants to pick my brain while they show me around, I’d be happy to do that.

Email me at tomaz at freedomideas.com or contact me through +38641923766. I’ll get a US prepaid phone once I get there…

I am arriving tomorrow on 10th and departing on 21st of June… Read more

Winter 2010 in South-East Asia

I spent most of the winter of 2010 in Thailand and neighboring countries since I really don’t like cold.

I am writing this post as a journal for myself to remind myself later of where I have been and also to perhaps inspire and motivate all those who look to become financially free and do whatever they want to do.

New Year In Bangkok, Thailand

I arrived in Thailand on the 31st of December (flying with business class of course from Slovenia ) and spent the New Year’s Eve in Bangkok where hordes of people came to see the entertainment show in front of the Central plaza (a big shopping mall).

There was also a short fireworks show but really nothing spectacular. It’s interesting to celebrate New Year in short pants and sleeves and sweat at the same time – while most people in the Northern hemisfere wear thick jackets and gloves and maybe even enjoy some snowy conditions. Read more

Flying Business Class On Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-200

I am in Thailand again and this time I found good price for the business class with Turkish Airlines. I’ve never flown business class before so I was eager to see how it compares to economy.

The ticket price from Ljubljana to Bangkok through Istanbul was just around 1600 eur which translates to around $2,300.

That’s a good price for a business class since most other airlines charge double or more for the same distance (Austrian Airlines through Vienna and Lufthansa through Munich or Frankfurt).

There’s not much difference flying business class on Airbus 319-100 which took me from Ljubljana to Istanbul except that there is more leg room and that flight attendants bring more drinks and food. Read more

Book Cheap Flights and Hotels With Paypal

I’ve been researching the web for some time to find cheap flights and hotels that I could pay for with Paypal.

In other words, I’ve been looking for websites where I could book a cheap flight or book a hotel and complete my payment with Paypal.

There are some very useful sites that offer Paypal as the payment option and here’s what I’ve found so far:

Holidays On Thailand Islands

I’ve been traveling to Koh Samui and other Thailand islands in the last 16 days so that’s why you are no seeing any new posts here.

It’s been a great experience from the holiday perspective and from the online business perspective – or maybe I could say enjoying freedom while doing almost nothing for my websites.

I took my laptop and found some nice places on Koh Samui where there was free wi-fi in the restaurant. So I had my pad thai, checked my emails, updated a few Content 2.0 pages and went swimming again.

The power of internet allows you to earn money while doing minimal maintenance work on your authority content sites. I’ve had my best month so far and I’ve done the least work in this month in the last 3 years of my journey into the internet marketing arena…

Off to Phuket

Not many posts from me lately… I took a one week vacation in Phuket, Thailand and then returned back to Slovenia, so lots of things happening right now…

Before you check the photos, I want to add something; a few months ago I was reading a blog post which was something like “A Day in the life of… (I forgot the name)”.

The guy who was interviewed was making around $20,000 per month, mostly on passive income (Adsense, affiliate programs, …).
