The fascinating part of crossing borders, of a country or a county, to go and work is to learn the little details a client, or a country, looks at first. In the UK, Health and Safety seems to have taken one of the first ranks…
Preparing the Olympics, or any other massive event, sometimes feels like being an Olympian myself. I certainly manage to avoid injuries during its planning, yet, as I have been selected and honoured to be part of it, I cannot let down the ones who rely…
