I work straight through the year.

I always take true vacations Jun 28

I can fully unplug from my freelance business.
Life is way too short to put off what really matters.
La vita è bella!

Yes Jun 29

True vacation Jun 29

To me, a true vacation is one where I find myself in a different, interesting place -- not one in which I have induced a certain kind of boredom. I have no difficulty working 5 hours a day while on a true vacation.
