Until we meet again… - 19 Jan 2015

It is with a sad heart that I write my last ed's column today as I bid this fabulous company, Bizcommunity.com, and all our readers farewell.

I have always had the dratted travel bug (which cannot be cured with any vaccination unfortunately), and so, when the opportunity arrived to leave on a jet-plane to Northern Italy for a few months, I simply couldn't decline. As the Arab proverb goes: "He who lives sees much. He who travels sees more." And I really do want to see more...

It has been such a privilege to work here, learn here and play here and I am going to miss you all tons!
