After 103 days, 34 cities, and 9 countries... I'm finally back home 🥳.
Last week, I came back from a 3 months sabbatical traveling around Asia (and New Zealand!). This may sound great on paper (and it was), but for the last couple of months I couldn't wait to be back 😅.
If this trip has taught me something, it is how much I enjoy my usual routine and how much I appreciate my "normal" life.
Don't get me wrong, I like to travel and have new experiences. But you can have too much of a good thing, and for me that was 3 months of "holidays".
Still, I also managed to get some "work" done. I tinkered with a couple proofs of concept, and I started exploring some new tools and libraries.
Lately I had forgotten that it's also important to play, instead of working on "big projects" all the time.
Anyhow, if you want to learn more about my trip, both about the "life stuff" and the "tech stuff", you can get a full recount in my website. Also including some pictures!
