It's been a year now since I decided to quit my regular job to become a freelancer. When thinking about the past year I have to admit that it's most probably been the best one so far. One of my very first (and maybe naive) thoughts after leaving my regular job was: yay, now I'll have waaaay more time for sideprojects. Well the truth is, that reality looked a bit different :) Anyway.
Last spring/summer my best friend confronted me with a blink of an idea. I immediately liked it and we started to put our heart and soul into it, with the goal to turn this spark into a great project. Lets Travel Somewhere was born - at least on paper :) As time went by, I fell more and more in love with the idea and concept. And here we are today - I'm really happy to release it and I hope that you'll like it too :)
PS.: Stay tuned for some more sideprojects to come.
WOW this icons look awesome. Spot on. And you leaving your regular job is really encouraging to me because for a few months now I've been in deep thought if I should leave my day job and continue my freelance because I know that I've gotten so many opportunities in the past from through freelancing. I've decided to quite my regular job already now and start this year by freelancing and continueing to build my own business. Keep up the good work @Ines Gamler
That contact form! Beautiful all around. The only issue I am having is that loading on most pages is a little slow, could just be my connection though.
Very much appreciate your attitude for life and design . You are a very courageous and designer of the idea . Can see your work your pursuit for design .
Going through something similar but starting from scratch, very inspiring indeed. Lovely side project with great design. 2013 will be a bright one indeed.
Hey everybody,
Thanks for your awesome feedback! you guys rock!
@Andres Jasso You should definitely go for it!!
@Helena Jaramillo Thanks for pointing that out. Since the main content of the site consists of photos (which I want to present in the best quality possible) this was an issue that gave me lots of headaches and I'm still working on improving the loading situation :)
@Renato Pequito Sounds great, good luck with your project!
