The Gatwick Fiasco. Or how the second largest and busiest airport in the UK couldn't handle a drone alert and ruined the Christmas plans of 150.000 people. Including me. I'm sure you all heard what happened a few days ago. Alerts of drones flying near the airport runway caused a shutdown of all operations . Every flight on Wednesday got cancelled. Then, on Thursday, it happened again when I arrived at the...

I know, natural disasters don't sound like the most appealing title. But I felt the need to write down this post… September can be a rough month to travel anywhere near the Pacific. But honestly, it looked like my plan was set up by some weird travel agency with an odd sense of humour. Asia The day before my departure, the deadly storm Jebi hit Japan pretty badly, leaving the airport of...

Travel Diaries: South Korea, Part 3. South Korea is obviously not just Seoul, and it's always worth visiting other locations. To see all that the country has to offer and boost local economies.One of the many recommended spots is Jeju Island, but this time I didn't manage to go. Also, from what I could see from the aeroplane and the train, the countryside is very beautiful too. Instead, I visited Suwon for...

Travel Diaries: South Korea. Part 2: Seoul Highlights. Welcome to my Seoul highlights! Here I'm going to list my personal recommendations based on the short time I spent wandering around the city. And I'll add a few tips as well. See the bottom of this page for links to Part 1 and Part 3. The first thing to mention is the DiscoverSeoul pass. It's a very convenient way to visit most of...

… and off I went to South Korea. For the first leg of my month-long trip, I decided to start from a place far away. Geographically and culturally. I had in mind to visit Seoul already while I was working at Endava. I thought I could easily work remotely from there, thanks to lightning-fast (and affordable) wi-fi connections throughout the country. Most of what I knew about South Korea before was food-related....

There may be a genetic reason for my fascination with the Digital Nomad life. Allow me to elaborate here… And it all begins with the research on our genealogy, started by my aunt in recent times. Thanks to this research, I finally connected the dots. I realised why I’m never at ease settling in and always thrive on travel. Even just to quickly move from one place to another, whatever the term...

And so I'm packing for my month-long travel (longer, actually), and as always, the question is, “What do I bring with me?”. It wasn't always the case, but now I'm used to travelling light—sometimes super light. But that's for a week maximum, while this time, I'll be away for at least a month. I think I've been smart in choosing to travel between countries that will have consistent weather all along; only...

As I mentioned in my introduction, I'm now packing to go travelling around the world. A long trip that will take me to a few countries in East Asia, North America and Europe (and more on my gear in the next post). It's certainly for pleasure and because it's just what I'm programmed to do. But I also want to connect with as many people as possible while travelling: creatives, digital artists,...
