So….I’ve recently been offered to work with a new start up online travel magazine. It’s a pretty exciting opportunity because it’s talking about something I actually enjoy, to explore, to find something new, an experience unique from anyone else…to escape the monotony of a daily grind, whilst trying to find a memory or place that remains paradise… physically and mentally. “travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer”.
