Sorry, I got sidetracked. So I started a blog to capture the trains of thought that criss-cross my mind on the daily.
I’m Essi and in this blog I write about work life, its highs and lows, and hope to bring clarity to myself, and why not for you, too. Take these train rides with me and drop a comment if I piqued your interest. I would love to connect and hear your thoughts on these themes, so don’t be shy to drop me a message and connect with me on LinkedIn. Happy reading and travelling!
