Join us for a chat about the benefits, the struggles and our very different approaches to holidaying in general.We'd love to hear from you on your experiences and whether anything from this episode resonated with you - our DMs are always open so please do get in touch!Thanks for listening xShout out to all our Patreons, thanks so much for the support!
