At this level, I'll be sure to give you a shout out and raise a glass to you in one of my videos. And if you write to me on Substack or via my YouTube, I'll answer anything you need to know! (Which I normally do anyway, but this way involves shots, so....) and help out when possible if you need some guidance on SE Asia.

The bad influence

$45
/month

You're going to get me in trouble. But you may also be a great influence. I'll do some dedicated episodes on any topic you need covering (excluding any that might land me in jail or get me on a FBI watch list). 

  • Support me on a monthly basis

  • Shout out for new members

  • A custom episode every few months based on whatever you want to know about life in SE Asia.

About Michael Critchley

Mike here!

Hey – if you like my info on The Coding Travelbug on YouTube, please consider buying me a beer or two! 🍺


In addition to beer, this will go towards jet fuel (coffee) and helps cover my costs for my video editor, who does amazing work, but sadly, works neither for beer nor coffee.


About me:

After 23 years teaching at Josai International University in Chiba, Japan), I made the decision in my 40s to give iPhone development a shot, and that's what I've been doing since I turned 2015. Which is also the year I moved to Thailand.


Canadian born and raised, British by descent, I love traveling and exploring new countries and learning new languages. I tend to post content only on places I've actually lived and experienced. So expect some hot takes on life as an older guy living abroad!
