Weddings, Wine and Work
As I was extremely busy in the last couple of weeks with work, visiting weddings and drinking wine, I unfortunately didn’t manage to update this website as much as I wanted.
Updates
Normally, I try to post a new article on Paliparan once every two or three days – work and social life permitting.
However, the start of the summer holidays did not only mean an uptick in travel, but also a lot of extra work.
Travel life
Loyal readers of this website will by now probably know that I’m not a professional travel blogger, as I run Paliparan as a hobby.
As a freelancer who combines several jobs, I need to work hard to make an income and to be able to travel.
My spare time is almost exclusively spent travelling and working on this website, trying to write some quality articles which hopefully prove to be useful to readers.
Hungary to the UK
Although I’m typing this from Hungary, travels in the last couple of weeks have brought me in many more countries in Europe.
Among others, I went to a wedding in my native Netherlands, visited Switzerland, and had a great trip to England despite the fact I had to deal with some last-minute flight cancellations and railway strikes.
In between travels, I was extremely busy with work (and the odd wine-fuelled evenings at home), leaving little time to actually write new reviews, destination guides or other articles.
Backlog
The basic reality is that life in the last couple of weeks has been extremely busy – something which is unlikely to change for the rest of the summer.
There is much more work I have to deal with and there are two more trips planned this summer.
Besides all of this, there is also the time-consuming challenge of integrating a new kitten into my household.
Travels
I love my work and I’m fortunate that I can travel this much, whether it’s on work-related business or purely for leisure.
The text on a pillow cover on a recent flight in Qatar Airways’ excellent Qsuites business class summed it up perfectly: “Love, work, travel, repeat!”
None of the above is therefore meant as a complaint, only as a summary of how busy life has become recently.
September
Only by mid-September, things are likely to calm down.
Although I absolutely do hope that I can find some time in the next weeks to finish some trip reports on this website, chances are that only in September I can focus more on Paliparan.
As for now, stay safe and enjoy the summer!
