After a whirlwind tour of Europe in September and October 2006, Christine returned to Cape Town to a back-to-back schedule of pre-pods, castings, recces and shoots.

"I thought I'd take advantage of our low-season to visit some of our clients, get a feel for their markets, and generally get inspired by the zeitgeist in Europe," says Christine.

Season started earlier than usual for Freelink, so she hit the ground running. "It was great to get back to a busy schedule. I was so enthused from my trip; I couldn't wait to roll up my sleeves again."
