Work From Home Tips From An Introvert During COVID-19
I'm not and have never been an extrovert; I'd quite happily not go out for a few days. Some weeks, the only place I go is the supermarket and the gym now that I work from home. I'm not a complete hermit though. Unlike a lot of introverts, I like going outside - to the [...]

My 2019 Maltese Adventure – Part 2
I wanted to break these posts down because the last two days of my holiday were arguably the busiest. Realising we were running out of time to see the things we wanted to see on the islands, we decided to make a plan. But the plan never went, um, according to plan. Day 5 - [...]
