Last Updated: 10/30/2023 | October 30th, 2023 The pandemic has made working from home a permanent fixture of our lives. What once just techies and bloggers did, now accountants and all kinds of office workers do. Not only is it cheaper for businesses but it means more flexibility, time with family, and less commuting. I…
Last Updated: 10/30/23 | October 30th, 2023 What do you take on your trip? What do you need? As long-time readers know, I’m a fan of packing light. I don’t think you really need much when you travel. As a backpacker, I want to make sure everything I own fits into one bag. I often…
Last Updated: 10/30/23 | October 30th, 2023 Travelers can be a fickle group of people to buy gifts for. We’re constantly coming and going, we usually don’t carry a lot of stuff with us, and no two travelers are alike. Finding the perfect gift for the traveler in your life can be tricky. While a…
Posted: 11/13/23 | November 13th, 2023 I love walking tours. The first thing I do when I arrive somewhere is take a walking tour. It’s a great way to get the feel of a new place, see the main sights, and adjust to the local culture. You also get to meet a local expert guide…
Posted: 11/21/23 | November 21st, 2023 Happy Black Friday/Cyber Monday….week! While Black Friday isn’t technically for another few days, I like to launch our sale on Tuesdays so it lines up with our weekly newsletter (if you’re not a subscriber, sign up here for weekly tips, deals, and stories). This year, we’re once again doing…
Posted: 8/21/2023 | August 21st, 2023 I love Dublin. As a writer, how could I not? This is a city once home to iconic Nobel laureates like George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats, and Samuel Beckett. It’s the perfect place for cozy cafes and writing. Dublin is home to the rambunctious Temple Bar, Trinity College…
Last Updated: 8/28/23 | August 28th, 2023 Let’s talk about cheap flights. We all know airlines are out to screw us over — and no one wants to be the person who gets stuck paying the highest fare. That’s why we spend hours upon hours researching articles on airfare, trying to game the system like…
Posted: 8/31/23 | August 31st, 2023 Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people were transitioning to remote work. Digital nomads were becoming increasingly common as people quit the cubicle to work from wherever they felt like. Today, as the pandemic recedes, an even greater number people are working remotely. Studies show that remote…
Posted: 9/15/23 | September 15, 2023 The Bilt Mastercard® is one of my favorite travel credit cards. While I have a handful of others in my wallet, Bilt is my go-to for most of my day-to-day spending. Plus, it’s still the only credit card that allows you to earn points on rent (up to 100,000…
Posted: 8/31/23 | August 31st, 2023 Kuala Lumpur is one of my favorite cities in Southeast Asia. It’s a melting pot of influences and cultures (Indian, Chinese, Malay, Western), there’s a ton of activities to do, and it’s a foodie heaven that I think rivals nearby Bangkok. So “KL” is a must for anyone backpacking…
