How is it possible that, despite living in an era where humanity has reached peak brilliance in manufacturing, cars seem to get worse with every new generation?

I’ve loved product design for as long as I can remember. When I finished high school, I seriously considered becoming an industrial designer. However, the only university I could afford at the time was not exactly appealing, to put it politely. On the other hand, I also liked technology and happened to be a really good coder. So I ended up studying software engineering and eventually landed in Barcelona as an iOS developer (a good one, I must say).

For almost two years I had been wondering if it really made sense to travel while doing a good engineering job.
This is the story of my first experience working remotely from Thailand. Why and how I planned my trip and some learnings for the next time.
