As a frequent traveller, I’ve tried many strategies for packing my luggage efficiently and staying organised on the road. Recently, I completed two different types of travel, a 2 two-month backpacking around South East Asia and a 30-day cycling trip.

This way potential business partners or customers can have a look at what we are up to and sign up for a newsletter. The outcome? I took two different approaches and both of them ended in unexpected problems. The first approach was to hire a web desinger to build a page. The design and input we got was great and beyond expectations, however, I was sceptical to put the site online since the handcrafted code seemed hard to maintain.
