Touchdown in Chongqing

@XH_Lee23 Am there now! Crazy busy around but what a place 😀

Chongqing is hugely popular on the first day of the Labor Day holiday. China's total cross-regional population mobility is expected to hit 344.1 million on the first day. This is roughly the entire population of the US relocated in just one day.

Leisure is out there

@denk_tweets Can you share your acquisition source data - the bit below of it’s not too nosey haha. Would love to see the spread across platforms in terms of driving subs and how many there are!

my newsletter has 133k subs, makes a half million $$ a year, and takes me 5 hours per week the #1 question I get is “how do I grow my newsletter?” so I wanted to put all my usual answers & advice in one place hope this helps someone:

@Nithya_Shrii 🐐 way to travel 1/2 times a year - just got back from solo trip to Kathmandu!

People who go on solo trips not scared of nothing.

A completely underrated life hack for younger people is to live somewhere where an international airport is easily accessible. In both Dubai and Hong Kong, I could get to most places in the world, and from door to door it took less than 20 minutes. 0 stress and Tier-1 airlines to get you to/from.

@CleansedTweets Never heard a single good review about Cairo… Apparently the way to do it is to do one of those luxury Nile cruises that takes you away from the tourist hubs

I have been Lucky enough to visit 50 or so countries, and even more cities, towns and villages. Where’s the worst place I have been too? IMO: Cairo (Egypt). Why? 1. Sexual harassment is not uncommon, especially if you have blonde hair. 2. The pyramids are a mess, rubbish everywhere, scammers posing as “government officials,” camel/horse touts, lawless vibe, even pocketing fragments of pyramid stones to take home is possible. It’s lawless. 3. Insane traffic/chaos. 4. Severe air & visual pollution. 5. Constant scams & tout harassment. 6. Rubbish & filth everywhere. 7. Extreme overcrowding & noise. 8. Aggressive hustlers everywhere. 9. Poor infrastructure & services. 10. Relentless heat & dust. 11. Corruption & bureaucracy. 12. Exhausting, overwhelming vibe coupled with men taking secretly taking pictures of western women. Thats said the beach resort towns in Egypt are good. The people are really friendly. The food is good. And it’s somewhere to considered visiting.

@Zoeysprime Max out 100 connects each week with people in your space to build up a network - do that for a month and you have an audience - easy!

LinkedIn is overwhelming. Where do I even start from🥲

A bird shat on me about 15 seconds after I snapped this picture btw

GREAT TIMES

@smerlinger ffs, didn't zoom in and pretty obvious it's Repulse haha. Snapped this from there looking out a few weeks back - unreal spot!

@Charlie_Bowsher right before repulse. beautiful path

spring in hong kong

I wrote a piece about the “easiest” placement I ever made and the lessons I learnt from it. Plus updated live roles for the week across APAC and MENA. the-inner-circle.beehiiv.com/p/the-easiest-…

@CreeCoder Saw this on LinkedIn too, they tried to aggressively push it and there was absolutely 0 demand for work tiktoks so they canned it

Videos rank in the top 10 most muted topics on X (out of 70+)! Yet the platform is aggressively pushing video. You can’t force what people don’t want.

Hong Kong is great until you're +1 from a leg day and have to get across town and remember it's 95% hills

@danielcberk Wispr Flow supremacy

I just installed Wispr Flow on my phone and I will never ever ever ever use Siri for talk to text ever again. By the way this was written with Wispr Flow.
