We're pleased to share more about the inspiration behind Herb Lester, the fine folks who create our lovely illustrated travel guides. One of the founders, Ben Olins, speaks with us about their creative pulse, where you might find him should he ever tire of the UK and what keeps him going when the going gets tough as an entrepreneur.
We've been talking a lot about slow living and creating a deeper connection in the world you live within throughout social media because it hits home in the most direct sense with us. Slowing things down and appreciating the world we live within seems quite simple, but it can be harder than it sounds.
Ever found that the road you're on in life is taking a winding path that is flat out longer than you anticipated? Been there, done that and still on the journey!! So the past two years have really done a number on us - from moving back home to the US to set-up a business after a decade abroad to realizing that it was not the right long-term move for us after all and needing to come up with a Plan B pretty quickly. Our Plan B has not come without its challenges, but overall we can't complain as moving to Lisbon and focusing on setting up shop here has touched us in known and unexpected ways.
The first part of our year was filled with too much that needed to just get done and not enough time to process the big changes that were happening for us. With a bit of time and focus, we've begun digesting some of the change we've been through. It's through this meditative place that we wanted to share inspiring places that Boston unveiled to us over the past year while undertaking these big shifts in our lives.
