It’s going to be a short blog this month as I’m currently travelling across Mexico on a much needed break to recharge and rest. Think raccoons in our camp, a 3 hour boat trip to swim in a magical fresh water pool made by a meteorite, driving cross country and snorkelling in turquoise waters.

My highlights of 2021
I distinctly remember sitting at my desk to write 2020’s ‘last article of the year’ with all the optimism of naivety and full of the ‘bring on 2021’ spirit.
