I have spoken to many travellers passing through this Read More …
2015 – The Year of the ‘Yes (wo)man’
FROM A ‘YES MAN YEAR‘ TO A ‘YES MAN LIFE‘ As mentioned in before (on my about page) I am a strong believer in the power of saying ‘yes’ and due to my continuous use of the word, I had so much to be grateful for in 2015. It was an amazing year, but before I sum Read More …
