Time to chill

I wrapped up the week working out of Amsterdam office. The office is lively again and we’re quickly outgrowing the space. I met so many new members of the team over the last couple of days that I lost count. It was a sight to behold but it was awesome seeing new team members from all over the world.

I landed in Sevilla, Spain last night for my week long solo vacation. My trip was fueled by two reasons.

First, I had realized that I didn’t take advantage of my previous visits to the Amsterdam office. Despite going to Amsterdam 7+ times in 2019, I never actually took the opportunity to travel before or after which was a mistake. The pandemic hit and I vowed to never take things for granted.

Secondly, I had been feeling like I needed a break for awhile. Unfortunately Sophia wasn’t able to join me this time as she has a busy week of work and personal things to get to. Regardless, burn out doesn’t wait for the perfect opportunity to hit and I really needed to take some time off.

My goal for the week is to relax and enjoy life. I’ll read a lot. I’ll eat a lot. I’ll keep work to a minimum. I’ve got a list of amazing sightseeing and books I want to read. From what I’ve seen so far, Spain is a great place to do both those things.
