As a favour to my friends in the Team Delete crowd i’ve cut a video from their headcam footage from last year’s trip to the alps. I’m just sorry you’ve had to wait over a year for the results guys! (what a year it’s been though!)

Before I’ve even got started with the “Tides Are Turning” posts, an inspirational couple of sentences I found whilst searching around this subject from internet personality Gary Vaynerchuck

The tides are indeed definitely turning. In an unscheduled departure from the usual swearing at life and assorted internet ‘stuff’ I’m going to take some time to consider some my more publishable thoughts during a time of change. So, enough of the metaphors, what am i babbling on about? Well for the first time since I last applied for a bar job I’m now actively looking for work.

Over the course of a series of posts I will be writing in the coming weeks I will be maintaining the serious tone to look at how I got here (the good and the bad from my educational years) and documenting the excitement, chaos and uncertainty of going freelance for the first time.

I hope I can make it interesting and entertaining as well as an insightful resource for others who may be, or about to be, taking the same leap.
