Padel is a sport that requires a broad fitness regimen. Strength, speed, agility, flexibility and endurance are all athletic building blocks of a padel player. Workout routines designed for padel need to incorporate training for each of these attributes. Balanced training involves workouts on the court, in the gym and on the track. Physical preparation […]
Should You Switch to a Standing Desk?
For the last few years, I’ve been coming across articles extolling the benefits of standing desks. Due to being a digital nomad, however, I’ve found it difficult to actually get one and try it out. Finally, in our condo building in Chiang Mai (Thailand), I found the perfect place to experiment with standing desks. This […]
How to Warm Up Before a Padel Match
An essential part of every padel match is the warm-up phase. You should arrive at the venue around 30 minutes before your match and warm up before you enter the court to play. The five minute warm up we see during World Padel Tour matches can be misleading. The players aren’t actually warming up during […]
Are You Using the Slice Effectively in Padel While Attacking?
Many amateur players place a great emphasis on hitting sliced shots while in attacking positions. We have to ask: Why do we do this and what do we achieve? Unfortunately, in many cases, all we achieve is to give the sliced effect to the ball but at the cost of the real quality that an […]
The Best European Corporate and Personal Tax Structures in 2026
With the growing trend of digital nomadism and location-independent work, more high-net-worth individuals, freelancers, and company owners are realizing they have the luxury of choosing where to be tax resident and where to base their company. I’ve personally taken a strong interest in this topic. I spent several years as a digital nomad before adapting […]
Renting VS Buying a Property in Barcelona
Barcelona is one of the most popular cities in the world, and many people who come for a few months end up staying longer, sometimes even indefinitely. The biggest expense you will face in Barcelona will undoubtedly be that for your accommodation, usually in the form of an apartment. Rental prices typically range between 800 […]
Should You Invest in Peer-to-Peer Lending in 2026?
The world looked very different for P2P lending investors in 2018. Bank savings accounts paid next to nothing. Government bonds were a joke. If you wanted your money to actually grow, you either accepted equity risk or you went looking for alternatives — and P2P lending, offering 10-15% annually, was a compelling answer. That case […]
Best European Real Estate Crowdfunding 2026
Real estate crowdfunding is one of the most practical ways European investors can get exposure to property without the hassle of direct ownership. I’ve been using these platforms since 2015, and it remains one of my preferred asset classes alongside P2P lending. Here’s a quick list of my recommended platforms for 2026: Raizers — French […]
The Best Electric Bike Kits for Brompton in 2026
I love riding my Brompton in Barcelona and other places when we travel. In fact, I’ve taken it with me all over Europe since it’s so easy to travel with it, whether it’s by plane, train or car. It’s a great means of transport, but it’s also true that if you live in hilly regions […]
The Best European Personal Finance and Investment Blogs
I love reading and learning about personal finance as well as sharing my failures and successes on this blog. I’ve been reading personal finance and investment blogs for many years now. Most of the big blogs are from the USA, but since 2017 there has been a very welcome big surge in European blogs on […]
Frescobol – My Favorite Beach Sport
This summer I discovered a new sport that I love to play on Barcelona’s beaches. It’s called Frescobol. Frescobol is unique because instead of an opponent, you have a partner, and the goal is to support your partner rather than to try to win or score points. At the most basic level, it is a […]
Foam Rolling for Myofascial Release
One of the important additions to my workout and fitness routines this year was the incorporation of a foam roller. I like to foam roll first thing in the morning after drinking my espresso and doing a 10-15 minute meditation. Here’s a quick taster of what foam rolling can do: Release trigger points and tight […]
