During our time as coconutsandcoordinates we’ve understood that there is a new generation of people that are influencing the way we communicate, how we eat and what we do when we travel: Content Creators. Traveling as part time creators and now doing it full time has made us conscious about the challenges, needs and passions of this new social group - particularly when it comes to being travel nomads/content creators. So we decided to address them. Our goal is to make it easier for people wanting to pursue this lifestyle.

Have you ever tried to shoot in the rain? Then you have surely wondered why the raindrops are not quite as visible as in other photos that you see on social media, right? Well, we know we’ve had that feeling and we tried several different times, with several different settings but the outcome was always similar and kind of disappointing. It was only recently that we realized that we needed the help of Photoshop to bring those images to life. In this post we’ll go through some tips to help you get the best results on the spot, but we’ll also teach you how to tweak your image on post to make it stand out.

The Nomad Lifestyle

The term digital nomad is becoming more common by the day and during COVID most of us have in some way experienced a tiny bit of the ‘work from anywhere’ lifestyle. The only difference is that a digital nomad is exactly that, a nomad. We’ve redefined what an office is, it can be as long as we have a phone, a laptop and good internet connection.

We’ve been there, we’ve done it and know how scary it can be. Just the thought of leaving everything behind can be terrifying… but you know what is even more terrifying? To never follow your dreams and let your fears decide your future.

If you are currently stuck in a life you aren’t happy with and what you are seeking is freedom, keep reading, you might be ready to take that step.

We are not going to lie, it’s not easy and you will work much more than you do in your current job. The good part? You OWN your time, you are free and you can call anywhere your office. All you need is your laptop, your phone and good WiFi!

We know how mentally difficult it can be so we’ve made a list of all the possible questions you can have or that might come along the way.

Should you leave your 9 to 5 to become a digital nomad?

Should we, content creators and influencers, be giving our content for free? In the influencer world, a lot of things start off with exchange collaborations. What does this mean?  Influencers or content creators receive hotel stays, clothes or any sort of products or services in exchange for content creation or promotion on in form of a blog post, Instagram post, Instagram stories, Reels, TikTok or YouTube videos.

The Influencer World

How many times have you heard others or even yourself say: 
‘I’ll travel when I have enough money”
‘When I retire, I will do what I love’
‘If only I would have the time’, 
‘If only I could…..’
Well there are 2 things you need to hear if this has ever been you. The bad news? All this is BS! The good news? All this is BS! All you truly need is purpose and a mindset change.

Looking for an ideal spot for a beach day in our favorite of the three Nusas? We spent an entire month in this beautiful little island, learning all its secrets and, of course, visiting all it’s beaches.

Surprisingly, beaches in Nusa Lembongan are quite diverse: Mangroves on the east, rocky and with strong currents on the south, white sand beaches on the west and even a lagoon region between Lembongan and Ceningan.

This guide includes all our favorite beaches in Nusa Lembongan.

Nusa Lembongan | Beaches

We spent three years obsessing about the three beautiful islands of the coast of Bali: Nusa Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida, so when we finally had the chance we made the most out of it. After staying one month in Nusa Lembongan we decided to make a one week stop in the trendiest of the three Nusas - Nusa Penida.

This guide includes all the information you will need for your next visit: what to do, where to stay and where to eat. We covered all of these and more.

Nusa Penida

We approached Kelingking beach with a lot of excitement…and ignorance. The truth is that we’ve been seeing magazine worthy pictures of this incredible place on our Instagram for years and, in fact, this beach has been on our radar even before it became one of the most famous beaches on the world - but we never really thought that most of the people don’t get to see the beach. 

Kelingking beach is the most challenging hike we’ve ever done - at least to a beach. So don’t make the same mistake we did, go at the right time, prepared and with plenty of water and you should be ok…oh, and better leave those 12kg of camera gear at the top!
