I’m sipping a coffee in a Japanese style cafe in Taipei. Everything around me, from the wooden interior to the calm music, puts me to a zen mood.

Taipei?! Yes. I’ve just started a trip around East Asia that will last a bit more than a month. I left home end of July with the plan of visiting Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. The days and the heat are pretty demanding but exciting, that’s why you get this dispatch just now.

If you want to follow along during the trip, I’ve started Missives From East Asia, you can join here.

The first missive went off just yesterday. I will make sure to send it to you once you subscribe so you won’t miss anything.

One thing worth mentioning about July, is that I produced a dummy magazine of the Sarajevo project. I did a quick flip through video that you can find here.

On top of that, July was the month Streetwise landed on the Play Store 🎉❤️ It’s a massive milestone and it allows people to run workshops without device restrictions. When I’ll be back from the trip I’ll start the official launch campaign.

The last sip of the coffee slides down my throat. It’s time to buckle up and face the harsh sun. In a few hours I’m traveling to Pingxi.

Till next time,

— M
