Upcoming holiday
Heads up! I’ll be on a two week holiday to my girlfriend’s home country to meet the family and discover her country. Because of this, I probably won’t be posting a lot in the coming two weeks.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finalize a couple of things I was working on so It’ll probably stay quiet till I’m back from my holiday. That said, I will have at least one post about the satellites in my core-satellite strategy.
Look forward to that!
I wish you all a great weekend and see you soon!
