I often get my best results when I follow my gut feelings rather than plan for something. This story is a good testament to that. Since I returned from beautiful Georgia (more on that in a future post), the weather in London has been pretty grim and depressing. It rained almost every day, and it was generally cold and grey most of the time. This day was no exception. And frankly, there...
Read MoreThe 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.

Read MoreI 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.

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...
Read More… 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.

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...

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).
