19 Disciplines of Working and Running Your Business from The Road

by

Working from New Zealand

Self-discipline can seriously surprise you when you put it to the test. You may believe you have a really good grasp on it because, well, you stick to your routine and schedule and produce remarkable results on a day-to-day basis, but how robust a discipline is it if that only happens in the controlled environment that you have created?

You may have the utmost self-discipline and devotion to your projects and pursuits at home and within a comfort zone but will you maintain it if you leave that space and travel for a while? [Read more…] about 19 Disciplines of Working and Running Your Business from The Road

Indispensable Pro Travel Planning Tools

by

London Bus - City Sights and Sounds

Despite my travel record, what with 100,000 flying miles last year again to get executive platinum and my love affair with setting foot on foreign soil, you might find it ironic that I am mainly a novice when it comes to travel tools, hacks, and systems!

I love planning the sight-seeing, the shopping, the photography, and the social meet-ups with my international friends and family but I confess I would not be all over the map ever so smoothly without my brilliantly travel-tech savvy agent, who also plays the role of husband when not researching and planning our wonderful travels.

The Art of Deciding Your Next Travel Destination

by

Hakone_Japan_2008
In a poor attempt to test my spontaneity yesterday, my clever husband asks me if I am up for going to Japan in 7 days. No plans, no preparation, no idea where we would stay except that this time, we must go to Hakone to climb Mount Fuji – be not impressed; it’s no Everest, everyone can climb it – and that we would have confirmed seats in business class; the fares are extremely reasonable due to significantly slower travels to Japan.

Ah Japan! One of my biggest loves, even if I rarely talk about it around here. [Read more…] about The Art of Deciding Your Next Travel Destination

You, Your Travel Fears and The Fear-Crushing Travel Guide

by

Sweet-Istanbul-Turkey

What many have said to me over the years:
“I wish I could travel like you.”
“You are so lucky to travel so much.”
“There is no way I can travel with my children.”
“Go on all your travels before you have babies.”
“Traveling is risky; it’s just not safe, not these days.”
“I love to travel, but I hate to leave home behind.”
And my least favorite:
“Oh yes, of course I am going to travel someday. You should see my dream list of countries to visit  …. someday. Someday soon!”

Traveling is so widely accessible to us human beings today that I wonder why those who dream and desire it so much are not out there doing it all the time! Some of us want to go to Europe; some dream of Africa. Some people want to travel to the far east. In fact, when I lived in Iran, taking a holiday in Cyprus was one of the most popular destinations. One day, I will need to make a trip just to Cyprus for that. Can you think of a place where you want to take a holiday and yet have not made any plans to go?

And yet real travel fears and anxieties stand in the way of even the best of our intentions, the type of fears that cripple the most steady dreams of travel in the most willing hearts and confident souls. [Read more…] about You, Your Travel Fears and The Fear-Crushing Travel Guide
