Time to read: 7 minutes One of the biggest perks of freelancing is that I get compulsory free time in between projects. One of the biggest downsides of freelancing is that I get compulsory free time in between projects. I used to have my anxiety shoot through the roof at that time… “will I find something else?” “When?” “Who will […] continue reading »
Time to read: 5 minutes I’ve been on FOUR BA flights since 27th December 2016. This only matters because the last one was a VERY different experience from the first three. The first two were First Class (we used avios, sit back down), and awesome. On my last and fourth one, however, I discovered BA’s new policy of not serving […] continue reading »

Time to read: 6 minutes I did not read. I took photos instead. A lot of photos. Last month, I went to Venice (for the third time). I went with The Man, who finally said that Venice “exceeded [his] expectations”. This isn’t something I’ll hear often, especially not about holidays.

Yes, this applies to sit-on-it-daily young men too. No guarantees on the cards contained though! […] continue reading »
Time to read: 4 minutes I’ve lived in many places, slept in many beds. The first I can truly call my own was purchased 5 months ago. In my flat, I still do not feel at home. What is it that can make a home for a nomad like me? […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes A series of small houses, without kitchenette, in a field near the coastal road running on the back of the island. This is a quiet road. Clean and economical, especially if you need to fit a car into your budget for getting to beaches, other towns or archaeological sites. Also, Hostelbay and its unique ferry […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes Room was clean, although the floor seemed a bit dusty. We were disappointed to not have bathrobes in the room by default (and this is an expensive Hilton), and didn’t bother asking for them. An iron and ironing board are in the closet. Dry cleaning facilities are provided, but at €14 for a pair of […] continue reading »
