My life at Automattic
It’s become an on-going joke with my work colleagues that I have issues with security at airports. And no one airport has been as bad as Manchester.
I’m just back from a family holiday in Germany and we flew out from Manchester and, let’s say, they really excelled themselves this time.

I skipped WordCamp Europe last year but didn’t want to miss this one, as it’s coming from Berlin.
And, as in Paris back in 2017, I’m here as a volunteer.

Back in 2017, I revealed, after just a few months working and travelling for Automattic, what I carried with me in my backpack. 2 years on, and many more trips, and that content has changed. I don’t carry everything with me at all times and will modify the bag contents based on where I’m travelling (travel light, you know!).
What has massively changed is the amount of tech I now carry, as I was always lacking a cable or adapter. A much bigger cable organiser bag has allowed me to put all of this in one place but I’ve also taken the opportunity to review what I have and why.

When travelling, I do so with a Clairefontaine pencil case. It’s not too big but enough for to carry a selection of useful stationary items. You see, I like my stationary. Nothing ostentatious but just good quality.
So, what do I carry?

No sooner have I got back from Belgrade, I’m on a train to London. I noted the irony of flying over my hotel as my plane came into land yesterday but a day at home between trips was appreciated.
For the third year running, I’m back for WordCamp London, an annual conference for all things WordPress, the biggest held in the UK.
But, unlike previous years, I’m not volunteering.
