Hi Out Of Office Crew! 🩷
Thank you for reading again! As always, a brief personal update before continuing with travel deals, updates, and remote job opportunities! The past few days have been very focused on work, and then I got sick yesterday, which wasn’t ideal. Still recovering today, but already doing much better.
And it’s my last couple of days in Italy! At the end of the week, I fly back to the Netherlands, which I’m really looking forward to. Going to be fun to see my friends and family again. I somehow also already have a super packed 2 weeks with a trip to Amsterdam for a fun new project.. but more on that next week 😁
Let’s get into the good stuff!

Email doesn’t have to cost your privacy.
🎙️ This weeks podcast
Stop Over-Planning Your Trips: Why Letting Go of Control Makes Travel Better | 28
Episode 28 is live! This episode was inspired by a DM I got from someone who asked me about how I travel without planning so much and not feel guilty about not seeing everything. It got me thinking about overplanning and feeling guilty when travelling and not “seeing enough”. Listen to the latest episode now! (Youtube is still being uploaded..)
