Having to go back to the first page of the thread every morning to read the day's update, this always gives me a chuckle.

In light of the debate above about post breakfast rituals, a Google search for CWS reveals:

CWS Paradise.com 'an interactive website demonstrating CWS ParadiseLine collection of hygiene solutions'


On a more serious note, the contributions of CWS to FT have vastly improved my travel knowledge and experiences. Keep them flowing.

So a lunchtime update, and my logistics are holding up, a bit too well reallly. I'll respond to feedback later today, but thank you for all the comments in the meantime! I'm now in the Iberia lounge, working away.....

C-W-S epic, fascinating stuff. Though I have to admit to being a little disheartened that you have to suffer through the 'elf n safety and powerpoint presentations. I just sort of assumed you were travelling the world to all sorts of random places on a whim randomly doing business with donkey farmers in morocco one day and fishermen in Fiji the next. Either that or that you're Jason Bourne, and if we overlaid your travel plans with local new media they'd always be a couple of suspicious heart attacks or mysterious car crashes in the cities you've visited...
I imagined C-W-S traveling the world doing exactly that.

Great idea for a thread, it's a cracking read.

Not sure I'd classify c-w-s's working week as a "trip" myself. I'm totally enthralled by it though.

Good idea.


Maybe CWS doesn't actually have a job at all? Maybe he's just a billionaire with a bizarre hobby?

I had also assumed this was the case.

Or else his job is just to travel the globe and attend workshops in various hotels...
