I don't take vacations Jun 28

I work straight through the year. I used to take vacations when my children were still at home, but they are long gone and we haven’t spent vacations together for some time (trying to get 14 people agreeing on the same date and place is an almost impossible task…).

I always take true vacations Jun 28

I can fully unplug from my freelance business.
Life is way too short to put off what really matters.

True vacation? Jun 29

Yes Jun 29

Yes, I can.

Doesn’t even have to be luxury to make it possible to unplug. Just a great environment and great company.

True vacation Jun 29

To me, a true vacation is one where I find myself in a different, interesting place -- not one in which I have induced a certain kind of boredom. I have no difficulty working 5 hours a day while on a true vacation.
