I'm off to Portugal tomorrow for 12 days and have decided to go completely off the grid which means no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, 4sq, Swarm, Whatsapp, FB messenger and not even email. 

Now, you need to understand, this is quite a radical move for me and I openly admit that it's going to be difficult! I'm fully expecting some withdrawl symptoms. Constantly checking for updates in my news feed, obsessing over how many likes my posts got and (probably) over-sharing has become the norm for me as I suspect it has for our generation of tech-savvy, social bunnies. 

This is a personal challenge to prove to myself that I can still function and enjoy life without my iPhone as an extra limb and without the burning desire to share everything and yes...it's ironic in itself that I have chosen to announce this challenge via my blog and ultimately via Twitter and Facebook :) 

It's time to live in the moment, to dig out my dslr and take photos (even selfies) without posting them immediately, to see and savour things just for myself, to create the memories in my brain, to stimulate all my senses and remember how I experienced a place by its scent, its touch, its vistas and its sounds. 

When I come back, I'll have stories to tell, that you haven't already seen and heard.
