Working with the all-female Digital Action team over the last few months has been a delight.

And my eyes have been opened to a) all the bad stuff Big Ad Tech influences and b) the amazing women around the world holding them accountable. Hence the thread below. Enjoy! #IWD2023

It’s #TimeToTalk Day on 2 February. It’s a chance for all of us to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives.

We want everyone to make space in their day for a conversation about mental health on #TimeToTalk Day. How will you have your conversation?

Dramatic landscapes of the Troodos mountains VisitCyprus

The beautiful village of Pano Lefkara is the start of my #heartlandoflegends roadtrip.

This Cypriot village near Larnaca is known for its lace and silver jewellery made by locals, and recognised by UNESCO.

Going to Cyprus next week 🤩 - PRs, any new restaurant or interesting experiences I should know about?

I'll be roadtripping from Lanarca to Pano Lefkara, then onto Platres via the hills, and then to the coast before looping back to Lanarca 🌿

Turns out Bordeaux is a gem of a city with loads going for it! My latest article for Insider 👇
