Yesterday I published a post about the credit cards in my wallet at the start of 2021 and already that post is dated. It’s dated because after writing that post, another new credit card arrived in the mail. This one though, is quite different than any other card in my wallet. In fact, I doubt…
The Apple Watch is one of those things I’ve never really understood. Don’t get me wrong, I see why people would love it, but I just didn’t think it was for me. I don’t use a fitness tracker, I don’t want to be more connected, and I already wear an analog watch. For those reasons,…
Several years ago, when I was in college, I setup a gmail account to use on the top of my resume for hiring mangers to contact me. I created that account on a whim and never really expected to use it. At the time I still had an AOL account and a .edu account that…
One of the most frustrating things about traveling is trying to stay connected. For years I’ve had T-Mobile One phone service which offers free international cell data. However, there have been a few times where I’ve arrived in a new country only to find out that T-Mobile doesn’t offer free data there. The other alternative…
If you’ve read this blog with any regularly you might already know that I’m a fan of year-end reviews. I personally like when airlines, hotels, or credit card companies provide year-end summaries. I like these summaries because they serve as a welcomed reminder of the prior year. They also provide insights into travel or spending…
A few years ago, my parents made the unfortunate decision to finally kick me off of the family plan. No, it’s not because I was no longer “part of the family,” but rather because it was time for me to “grow up” (their words, not mine). The timing of that decision couldn’t have been better…
It’s been a while since I’ve written about “travel tech” and frankly, that’s because I haven’t been using anything new for quite a while. Well, since my last installment of Travel Tech I did buy an Anker power bank, but more on that to come. Today, I wanted to briefly discuss DJI’s new Mavic Mini…
In a recent post about Electric Vehicle Charging at Hotels I mentioned that earlier this year I bought a Tesla Model 3. So far ownership has been perfect. I’ve put just over 6,000 miles on the car and haven’t had any issues with the car. What’s also incredible is that the car is quite different…
I haven’t written about this yet, but a few months ago I decided to buy a new car. When moving to New York from Chicago the last thing I ever expected to do was to buy a car. After all, I didn’t have a car in Chicago so why would I need one in New…
In the past I’ve raved about Mobile Passport. In fact, it’s one of the travel apps that I value most on my phone today. Since I first started using Mobile Passport I’ve saved countless hours waiting in line at customs when arriving home from international trips. Given all of the wonderful things I’ve said about…
