Is the possibility of a recession giving you sleepless nights? Do you
feel like taking some time off and chilling out? How does a visit to a
beach sound? Or would you like to involve yourself in some serious
quizzing? What if you were offered the chance of doing both at the
same time? Sounds interesting???
