Her place is bubbling with creative energy and also provided a safe haven after I auditioning without success this week for MasterChef Australia.

It is not the first time that I have taken my business on the road this year. Sure, I can’t take my beads on the road (I’m working towards relaunching my jewellery label) but with the freedom of wifi, a laptop, car and airbnb – taking my consulting business on the road became my reality this year.
