Being inspired by place
Ideas from Malta
After several pandemic years, I now find myself in a different country. Leaving the UK after such a long period felt not a little intimidating, as well as freeing. After negotiating the (sensible-but-tricksy) bureaucratic complexities of international travel, I made it to Malta with the family.
Going on a holiday for me is about all the usual stuff - relaxing, exploring, getting a break from work, reconnecting with the world, discovering new cultures - and it’s also a chance to recharge creative batteries and find new inspiration.
