[22/05/2024 – 29/05/2024[ Intro 52 weeks in a year, 26 weeks traveled. Even though after 6 months of travelling we have established a certain routine, this undertaking feels as enormous, ballsy and to some insane as when we jumped on the plane on 29th of November.

[24/04/2024 – 01/05/2024[ Intro So I was looking for an ebook, and I was unable to find that particular book without a DRM component.
