July 31, 2017

Peeps, we need to talk about phones! Iâ€™ve done it on numerous occasions: leaving my mobile switched off on travels that werenâ€™t work related. And you know what? I didnâ€™t have aÂ problem with it at all; I didnâ€™t miss refreshing my Gmail inbox every five minutes or responding to WhatsApp messages on the go.

I'm no expert, but I would assume to about 7 out of 10 people the answer would be simple:Â No. It's heavy, it's bulky, it reminds youÂ too much of work and might even give youÂ pangs of guilt for not catching up on all those to-do'sÂ you were hoping to ignore until youÂ get back home and back to reality. I once asked a series of people whether they bring [...]

Hands up, who has ever been in a situation, when you needed to make last-minute travel arrangements on the road, but comparing prices and making a booking on your phone was too inconvenient (damn you, tiny screen); or when the only available internet connection was way too slow to load those travel websites and apps - making yourÂ research equally frustratin[...]

Let me ask you, which phone do you use? Why that one? What do you like about it? What do you need it for? The question for the perfect phone is on my mind often, I think it has actually become the most important item to bring with me on a trip, more than a laptop, a camera or even a credit card. My ideal smart phone needs to be intuitive to use, take a[...]

Let's be honest: Traveling alone surely has its benefits, but sometimes it would be nice to have someone to talk to, to share travel tales with, to ask for advice on good coffeeshops at the destination you're flying to or even to hold your hand during flight turbulences.
