Good Morning Thursday morning, 13 February 2003, roundabout… 8am. My mother has this tendency of telling me things I need to do that day, while I’m sleeping and, of course, the chances of me remembering these are very slim.

Marvin’s Room April Edition (Pictures)

I put a post-up on social media the other day talking about how much I miss the airport. It was not much the airport itself that I missed, it was just a case of the travel bug seeping in. Since January this year, I have had the privilege of work related travel opportunities and they...
