I woke up today with a thought of the film, Genius, crossing my mind.
Out of the blue.
So let’s talk about it.
Jude Law was portraying Thomas Wolfe in the film, Genius. Thomas Wolfe was a writer; he wrote a really damn thick novel, and it became a best-seller.
He traveled and wrote great books.
It’s good if you travel somewhere for quite some time, and then write.
Maybe you can write there, or write when you come back; your call.
Ustazah Basikal is also a damn thick novel where you can learn lessons about life. The fact that it exists?
Travel.
It’s a travelog, lessons learned throughout the travel.
Look, here’s some countries you can apply for Digital Nomad Visa. I’ve already filtered it by the keyword “low-cost”.
It’s kinda not fair since we are from low currency country, and traveling to countries in Europe is a bit challenging when it comes to money exchange.
As I said in my previous Minimalis Private Newsletter: Purpose; “You have to figure it out.”
So here you go, 8 countries filtered by the keyword “low-cost”:
1. Spain
2. Greece
3. Mexico
4. Panama
5. Ecuador
6. Thailand
7. North Macedonia
8. Argentina

I also talked about Ustazah Basikal in my Minimalis Private Newsletter: Heart Clutter, where her perceptions toward people changed after travel.
Go read it.
Back to Thomas Wolfe story.
At the age of 37, he died.
Good thing, he had traveled, produced great writings, and also had a great relationship with his editor (like a father-son kind of relationship; best friends) - this was portrayed by Colin Firth in that film.
Plus, great thing he didn’t postpone his travel.
Speechless.
So, go travel.
Some Additional Notes:
Thus remind me of Hamza Yusuf’s lecture, "Next year will be there, but you are not confirmed to be there.”
If you read this the night before Eid, it’s a good time to pray. Ask Allah if you want to travel and live somewhere for a while. Ask Him, where to go? (Istikharah)
Travel, travel jugak. Jangan lupa kewajipan Haji. Save some money aside for that purpose. Lagi bagus kalau pergi Haji dulu. Sementara menunggu, do what you should do, and at the same time, always ask for His guidance.
p.s: Look, I keep giving you great ideas on this site for you to think and consider. I do hope you don’t just read any of my posts, but instead, think of how you can apply the ideas to your own life.
I talked about Social Media Detox before; did you do something about it? No? Get out!…..
