When you’re at the airport on the way to two of the most photogenic cities in the world, and realise that in the whirlwind of leaving home you forgot to pack your camera 😭😭😭 I guess it’s time to get extra creative with my phone camera over the next few days!

I was born in communism. I grew up in confusing times, when my home country transitioned from communism to democracy. What I'm seeing now in the US, is the exact opposite. It looks like the States are fast going head on into a communism regime, with an insane dictator holding its reigns.

A beautiful mural I noticed on my last trip to Lisbon (January 2022). It's called "Desassossego" (meaning "restlessness") by the artist AkaCorleone. Will be interested to see if it's still there when I'm back next week, and what other street art we can find 🧡

Last week we took a #workation in Mousehole, a gorgeous little fishing village in Cornwall, UK 🧡 (My grandfather was born in this village!) Check out the beautiful sea-view cottage where we stayed and converted into our remote office for a few days 👇 careergappers.com/vrbo-mouseho...

The discussion about travel #sabbaticals and #miniretirements is too often framed in terms of financial impacts & sacrifices. This ignores the long-term career (and financial!) benefits that can be gained from taking time out to reflect, develop and explore. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

Young Canadians taking ‘mini-retirements’ for travel and hobbies – no matter the cost

Some Canadians in their 20s and 30s are taking sabbaticals or quitting their jobs to enjoy life instead of following a traditional career playbook

Random #travel question! What's the coolest lighthouse you have seen before? I think Les Eclaireurs in Ushuaia is my fave ⛯

Hi! 👋 I'm Alex, one half of the couple behind Career Gappers, a blog about blending work and travel. I thought it fitting to begin here with this pic of me and Lisa with a suitably blue-sky background! (And one of the 7 New Wonders of the World for good measure.) A little bit about our story 🧵
