This issue is brought to you by Authory.

Hey there, wildly successful travelpreneurs!

I’m (partially) back to work after giving birth to my daughter on 7 February 2025.

Both baby girl and I are healthy and doing well so far. Although I have to take it slow for a few more weeks to fully recover from surgery, and we’re all adjusting still to being a family of 4.

Now, let’s get into the opportunities!
