Our Trip to Portugal: Part One
We have just come back from Portugal, and I for one had a great time - to say the least. It was the best holiday I've ever been on, full of so much than the basics.

Remote Working and Freelancing Sucks!
Most people who work a job they hate, or work a 9-5 stuck to a desk, have probably once dreamt of working remotely (away from an office). But as a new remote worker (freelancer), I'm here to say it's not all it's cracked up to be. Here's why this way of working isn't always so… Continue reading Remote Working and Freelancing Sucks!
My Feelings About the Wolf Run
