I'm alive and so is this newsletter 📰
It's been a month and a long time away
Hi all,
We’re finally in 2023, and apologies as I have been away for a while. I’m sure many of you can relate, but I’ve usually been someone who continues working overseas even on holidays so this time, I wanted to entirely switch off and commit to a no-work policy to relax and flip my switch off.
I enjoyed a great few weeks in Korea and Japan. If you’re interested, here’s part 1 of a series of videos I’ll be making for the trip below.
Otherwise, let’s swing back into the first edition of 2023 of tech reads!
