Empowering Expats and Digital Nomads to Find Their Perfect Destination
Welcome to The Jet Lag Chronicles, where the world is your oyster, and we’re here to crack it open, spill it on our pants, and eat it off the floor. So, get your passport ready and join us as we learn and explore the highs and lows of life beyond borders.
For us, this isn’t just another travel blog. It’s a means for change in our own lives. A community for expats, digital nomads, and curious travellers who want more than surface-level travel tips and two week vacation plans. This is about slow travel and finding the place(s) right for you. We’re here to help you skip the tourist traps, uncover hidden gems, and truly live abroad.
So, whether it’s the chaos of Bangkok, the creative spark of Medellín, or the coastal energy of Da Nang, we dive deep into what makes each place unique and share the practical details that help you live smarter, cheaper, and happier.
Real stories of life as expats and digital nomads
The real numbers, not fantasy

Because life is too short to stay put. “Let’s shoot for the moon! If we only get halfway there, so be it… better than working for The Man or dying 5 miles from where you were born.”
Here’s to the adventurous! 🌍✈️
To help Expats and Digital Nomads find their ideal destinations, make smarter lifestyle choices, and prepare for a life abroad. By the way, by ideal destinations, we don’t mean your favorite. We are talking about the best cost of living, lifestyle, tax brackets, visa options, etc.
We’re Moni and Dunny — a Canadian–Colombian team behind The Jet Lag Chronicles. With backgrounds in technology and sales, we combine analytical insight with on-the-ground experience to explore the realities of modern nomad living.
Between us, we’ve lived in five cities across four countries, gaining firsthand perspective on what it truly takes to build a life abroad. Our mission is to uncover the highs, lows, and hidden strategies of the digital nomad lifestyle — and to share practical, experience-driven guidance for anyone looking to find their own “home base.”
Everything published here is the result of real research, lived experience, and a shared curiosity about how to make global living sustainable, rewarding, and financially sound.
We've lived and worked across multiple countries and it only continues.
No sugarcoating. We hate that! We provide information we wish someone would show us.
