I’m on my way to the US for the first time in 2025. The last time I was there was in November 2024. This business trip is short and packed with work meetings back-to-back. One advantage of this packed agenda is that I’m returning home again before the weekend. While I love traveling for work nothing beats being home.

Nobody will notice but it was satisfying for me to work on in my search for consistency. 🤓
🛫 Amsterdam – Zürich 🛬
I will never get used to leaving home for business on a Sunday morning. I don’t like leaving my family behind after breakfast on what is supposed to be a lazy Sunday.
I will be in Zürich the rest of this week for a large international client event we are hosting. Last year, this event was my first introduction to our clients, as I had just landed my new job. This year, I will be on stage to present to these clients about ‘future-ready product design and engineering.’
