Two Days in Vegas: Where Every Hour Counts

October 31, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Las Vegas is one of those cities that has always appealed to me in an intriguing sort of way. It’s not a 'conventional' city by any definition; its wink is seductive, filled with opportunity, excitement and flash - where money is always on full display. The city can be overwhelming, especially for first time visitors. My first trip was in college. Stepping out of the plane into one of the terminals at Harry Reid International Airport, I remember … [Read more...]

Ekas, Lombok: Life in the Slow Lane

October 25, 2025 by JessieLeave a Comment

There are places in the world that demand nothing of you but your presence. No sightseeing checklists. No need to rush. Just space to slow down, breathe deeply, and let life roll by at the pace of a coconut drifting on the tide. Ekas, a tiny surf village tucked away on the east coast of Lombok, Indonesia, is one of those rare places. I stumbled into Ekas after a week in the chaos of Kuta’s surf scene, craving quiet. What I found was a village … [Read more...]

East Coast Escapade: A Whirlwind Adventure

October 1, 2025 by Dave2 Comments

I caught a red eye from California to JFK in New York but before I left, our flight was delayed 90 minutes due to crew who had not yet arrived at the airport. This and other delays have plagued nearly most of my flights this year - although this wasn't as bad as sitting on the tarmac in Germany earlier in the year for nearly 6 hours for maintenance issues and then having to go back to the gate because the flight was ultimately canceled. And … [Read more...]

Travel Expert: 10 Europe Money Tips Worth Remembering

September 20, 2025 by Dave1 Comment

Summer is at its end in Europe, and the heat can make it harder to think clearly, especially when you’re juggling train schedules, restaurant menus and payment options in a new country.

Penang Hill or Bust & the Lights of Kek Lok Si Temple

August 1, 2025 by Dave3 Comments

My friend dropped me off at the base of Penang Hill. He had strongly recommended I climb this in the early morning, but the night before we were out until nearly midnight enjoying the Chinese New Year festivities. Borrowing his umbrella, a lifesaver from the hot tropical sunshine, I set out on the Heritage Trail. This path, founded in 1890, led nearly straight up the mountain, climbing some nearly 800 meters to the top. It followed the funicular … [Read more...]

Amsterdam Short Stay Rental Market – Why Expats Never Leave

July 16, 2025 by Sarah WilliamsLeave a Comment

Introduction Amsterdam was not meant to change everything. For most business travellers and expats, it is just another European city on the itinerary—a convenient spot for meetings, conferences, or short-term projects. The plan is always simple: arrive, work, explore a little, and leave with some nice memories and a few photos. But Amsterdam has different ideas. Beneath the picture-perfect canals and tourist-friendly surface lies something … [Read more...]

Traveling light means leaving out what you don’t need. Not out of discipline, but because carrying less feels better. You move easier. You waste less time digging through gear that never gets used. If you’re always on the move, you know how the right tool can save your day—and how the wrong one just takes up space.
