Me pregunto: ¿Dónde está el límite ante la necesidad de ´ganarse la vida`, tu vocación y las exigencias de "la jungla laboral"?

The London bloggers who came up for the event had never been to Newcastle before, so we were treated to a guided tour around the city center by some people who were working for Newcastle Fashion Week. Even though I know Newcastle pretty well, it was still really interesting and we were told things I never knew, and I even saw a f... read more »
