[A three minute read] Travel is a part of our job description as event managers and I still remember my first business trip (escorting Ronald McDonald on a road show but that’s another story…) I felt so glamorous, confident, grown up and ready for adventure.

[A three minute read] I am yet to try it myself but from what I hear, having a baby is a pretty traumatic experience. It is a huge investment of time, money and resources, not to mention pain. Those who can afford it hire an army of helpers to make the experience as smooth as possible. […]
