1:45
software okay american company interest
1:49

same yeah it’s just one hour of
2:15
difference i can sleep in an hour longer
2:17
oh okay yeah nice man
2:19
so what are the two um tips that you’d
2:22
give somebody wanting to get into
2:23
being a digital man um
2:26
i think i t jobs are always good yeah
2:28
you want to be remote do something
2:30
knighty or do something yourself that’s
2:32
number one number two is look for good
2:34
wi-fi yeah and electricity depending on
2:37
where you go sometimes the electricity
2:39
is not there i’ve had this problem uh
2:41
try to get to a place where there’s good
2:43
electricity and good wi-fi good wi-fi
2:45
that’s it you don’t need much more you
2:47
can charge your laptop and you have
2:48
internet you’re good exactly so what are
2:50
your tips for finding good wi-fi uh
2:53
asking other people honestly reading
2:56
online doesn’t help or you if you book
2:58
it on booking or something you can go
2:59
through the comments and you say
3:01
your wi-fi yeah and then you’re good
3:03
yeah you can always deduce from that
3:05
exactly exactly but people are the best
3:07
for example i’ve asked people here and
3:09
uh and also if you go to namibia let me
3:12
know is the internet good over there
3:14
and if it’s not then i will not go there
3:16
my job is still main priority yeah so
3:19
yeah sure man yeah badass so do you are
3:21
you part of any like groups or any
3:23
online communities or anything like that
3:25
where somebody could ask around for
3:26
wi-fi or are you just doing it at hostel
3:28
such as hostels
3:30
maybe there’ll be a group that arises
3:32
from that i have one or two groups on
3:33
whatsapp but okay there’s no specific
3:36
group that i aim at because
3:38
what i want to do might not be the thing
3:40
that others have done yet because it’s
3:41
relatively new
3:43
it’s been two years with kovitz so it’s
3:44
relatively new if i would say do they
3:47
have good internet in papua new guinea
3:48
they’d be like i don’t know
3:50
so i have to find someone that has been
3:52
there you want to go to papua new guinea
3:53
could be yeah dude that’d be badass man
3:55
yeah if you have the internet why not
3:57
yeah
3:58
i don’t know if they do have a good
3:59
internet connection but if they are
4:02
yeah fat ass man
4:03
so this is a four question series i’m
4:05
actually it’s been a little bit since
4:06
i’ve done it so i forgot the last
4:07
question which is pathetic
4:10
but uh so for the last question we’ll
4:12
say where’s your next where’s your maybe
4:14
we’ll say like your dream spot dream
4:16
spots right like if uh if you could
4:17
figure out why find everything where
4:18
would you want to go wow that’s a
4:20
difficult question i think i can’t
4:22
figure wi-fi out in the place that i
4:24
want to go i can’t figure it out in
4:26
north korea i don’t think oh you want to
4:28
go to north carolina
4:30
maybe kenya
4:31
kenya okay i’ve heard some good stuff i
4:33
think you could probably pull off some
4:34
wi-fi there i think so too especially in
4:36
like the what’s i can’t remember the
4:38
capital i can’t remember that and that
4:39
will be yeah there we go i imagine you
4:41
could probably get some good shelter i
4:43
hope i didn’t say the wrong capital but
4:44
i think it was correct no i think
4:45
nairobi kenya right
4:47
anybody nobody knows a thing too so hey
4:50
