A New Year – Stocktake your Career

As the champagne bubbles fade and a new year is born, it is time to reassess what our goals will be for the year ahead.  The new year is a good time for re-assessing your career is on the right path.  A time to make sure that what you do makes you happy and drives you to achieve every day. Imagine your career is like a Christmas present. When you unwrap it does it give you a sense of purpose, drive your passion and give you a nice life?

Changing Perceptions

As we grow older our perceptions of people, places, things and the world change. You start to see that things are not as they were taught.

A beginners guide to ……..

In this new monthly series, I will be preparing a beginners guide to visiting popular destinations to allow you to fully enjoy your travel experience around the world. When I first started travelling I found it hard to locate authentic, real life accounts of what the country I wanted to visit was really like.

Since then I have created my own formula for researching a destination to ensure I am as prepared as much as possible. Of course, there will always be a few surprises and unexpected encounters along the way. But if you are armed with as much information as possible, you will be able to handle many challenges thrown at you along the way.

The most important skills to have when travelling are flexibility, an open mind and understanding to expect the unexpected.

This will allow you to experience something truly wonderful on your journey.
