When I think about my favourite trips, it’s never just about the hotel or the weather. It’s about how the place felt .

It was a week where I was unemployed between leaving policing and starting a new chapter in the world of IT, where, in hindsight, maybe was a terrible choice considering my IT skills consist of fixing my grandparents internet.
