The next few months should see a return to the spirit of “Where’s Matthew”, because it looks like I will be travelling constantly (and all over the world) with my next project. I just got back from an overnight trip to Bratislava (where I saw nothing more than the inside of the airport, hotel, and office due to a seriously-delayed flight). Next week I am headed to Budapest for a few days, then off to New York the following week. I am not sure what’s next after that, but the project spans 60 countries and we have committed to visiting the 20 biggest countries at the very least.

As project lead, I have some say in who goes where. It may come as no surprise that I am happy to put my hand up when the opportunity comes to travel to warm, sunny countries for a few days – even more so if I can manage to squeeze in a long weekend break. Now that I have my team onboard, we will hopefully have enough man-power than I can limit my trips to Eastern Europe in the middle of winter…
