Before websites there was punk rock. I wrote for photocopied zines in Quebec and interviewed Green Day and Fugazi. Then a factory job, a software job, 9/11, a layoff, and a long drift between Canada, Laos and Thailand.
In Luang Prabang I lost my bank card, which forced me to stay put. Best mistake of my life. I flew to Singapore for three weeks in 2010 and never left.
I ran this site and the Perdu en Asie podcast through all of it: 411 stories since 2009, 80 episodes between 2013 and 2016. I also delivered food on a scooter through COVID to keep my little company alive. Today I run that company, Rezult, from Singapore with AI doing the boring half. Just enough, my way. That’s what this site is about.
The short timeline
90s Punk zines and live shows in Quebec City
2009 First post on getlostinasia.com
2010 Lost ATM card, Luang Prabang. Three weeks in Singapore that never ended
2013 Perdu en Asie podcast starts. 80 episodes in four years
2017 Started Rezult, my own small business
2018 GrabFood rider when work was slow, through COVID
2026 The podcast is back. In English this time
Why the site is back
Because the people I met on the road are still the best stories I know, and a lot of you are now doing what they did: running a small business from a laptop, living somewhere cheaper and warmer, earning just enough. I want to show how that really works, money and visas and boring bits included.
