Hi, I’m Thawi — but most people know me as Backpackerlens.

Welcome to my personal blog, where I share my honest journey as a digital nomad, along with simple tips on how to earn money remotely and live with more freedom.

Like many people, I once believed that working hard in an office was the only way to build a career.

But deep down, I always dreamed of traveling the world — to experience new cultures, meet inspiring people, and live life with more flexibility.

For a long time, I didn’t know how to make that dream possible. I worked traditional jobs that demanded my time and energy but left little room for personal freedom.

 It wasn’t easy to walk away from that familiar path, but I realized that life is full of choices — and I wanted to choose a different one.

In 2020, I finally took that step. I left my hometown in Sumatra, moved to Bali, and started building a lifestyle as a remote worker and digital nomad.

It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been the most rewarding experience — learning how to earn an income online while traveling and exploring new places.

Through this blog, I hope to share helpful insights, real experiences, and small steps you can take if you also dream of working remotely, becoming a digital nomad, or simply living life on your own terms.

I believe anyone can start, no matter where you come from.

Thank you for being here — I hope my stories and lessons can inspire or guide you on your own journey.
