They say a change is as good as a rest, I am lucky enough to have both at the moment. Since leaving my job I have time back on my side, giving me the opportunity to evaluate different aspects of life with a fresh perspective. More than anything it has reminded me that time really is our most precious resource.

I’ve been spending my time doing more of the things that I used to say “I wish I had time to _____”. I’m sure you can fill in the blank quite easily, for me it was things like to travel more, meditate, take up a new hobby, but overall it’s being able to put my time and energy into things that matter to me.

Back in 2016 I launched AND TRAVEL WELL as an Instagram account followed by a website. Even though it was something I was so passionate about, I found it difficult to give it the time it deserved. Now, while time is somewhat more on my side I’ve been delighted to have the chance to re-focus and re-evaluate.

My first step was reviewing the visual side of the site, the layout, logo, and photography. I love taking photos, I always have, so it was important to me that this was at the forefront of the site. The logo came next, I was in a fortunate position to work with my favorite designer, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

The content has been the most challenging and rewarding part. There were posts and experiences I still wanted to share on the updated version of the site, however acknowledging that time has past I decided to rewrite the content and put the fresh perspective I have now into it (not being funny but going from your 20’s to your 30’s definitely changes the way you think about things).

It feels great to have the site live, and I am really enjoying having the time to focus on it again. I hope you enjoy!
