Even though I love to travel, the reality is, with kids (and the never-ending saga that is covid), travelling is not so easy at the moment. Yes, we have managed a few places this year, but I haven’t travelled half as much as I would’ve liked to. That being said, I HAVE travelled a lotContinue reading “Around the World in 50 Books”

My Top 5 Books of 2020
What a year 2020 has been! This is the first year in my entire life where I’ve pretty much picked up reading as a full-time hobby.

A Day in the Life of a Real Estate Agent in Cyprus
A guest post from a close friend of mine and real estate agent in Limassol. Some people think being a real estate agent in Cyprus is easy.

Yes I am worried;Continue reading “Weathering the Coronavirus Storm…”
Valentine’s Day Isn’t Only for Lovers
Valentine’s Day is here and I haven’t posted in months, so I thought I would take this opportunity to create a quick post about… you guessed it: Love!

I Doubt I’ll Make Millions from Freelancing, and that’s Okay
Since making the transition from full time employee to freelancer, a lot of changes have gone on in the world. When I first started freelancing, it was less common and less heard of to work from home. Particularly in Cyprus, it was hardly heard of to work part time let alone to work from home,Continue reading “I Doubt I’ll Make Millions from Freelancing, and that’s Okay”
The Pros and Cons of Working from Home
Working as a freelancer is both liberating and frustrating. You get to work from the comfort of home – but also with only yourself for company.
