am a strong believer in the power of the “Hive Mind”. Working together makes big issues way more chewable and helps us look at things through a different prism.
The current unprecedented times we are living through, require us to reinvent, rebuild and reimagine travel altogether. We have to join forces and experience to revive our area of expertise and grow stronger and better for the future of travel.
