Last year, somewhere along the way, the joy slipped out of my work travel.

I went from exploring new places to doing the plane-hotel-plane routine on autopilot.

Miami was the wake-up... two days in a venue, not one step outside.

I realised I wasn’t choosing joy anymore… I was choosing “get through it.”

So 2026 is different: more space, more presence, more moments that actually matter.

If the joy’s gone, what’s the point?

Because success without joy isn’t success.
