Eight Professional Travel Tips to Get the Most Out Of Your Work



This adage is used too often to get just a little more work out of an already stressed workforce. However, what if you could truly live a life where work and play are indistinguishable.

“I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to travel light. Dragging an enormous pack full of junk from place to place is the surest way to hamstring your flexibility and turn your travels into a ridiculous, grunting charade.” — Rolf Potts


Here are some suggestions for your next big vacation:


1. Get internet everywhere.


In 2013, Loren traveled to Paris. One of her dearest mobile offices worked on her iPad under the Eiffel Tower. Since her schedule had to be adjusted to work in California, she had to meet deadlines and handle business calls. This made her realize that business never ends and that the internet is not always available in airports and hotels. Sea Tours

Loren recommends bringing a mobile hotspot that allows you to connect to multiple devices at once. You can get it by bringing an unlocked phone and buying a local SIM card or renting a hotspot in another country.

2. Use virtual guides.

She ditches those heavy travel books and tries travel apps like Gogobot for iPhone, Android, or on the web. Loren has used Gogobot to create, organize and share her itineraries with friends and even locals who would become friends. There's one less thing to worry about on your travels because the content you see is personalized to the type of traveler you are. Adventure Tours

3. Be local.

Loren uses platforms like HomeAway and Couchsurfing. She's docked (on real beds!) in St. Petersburg with a musical family, in Zurich with an American professor living abroad, and in Saigon with a reformed stress-addicted investment banker. She has made lifelong friends all over the world who have given the experiences she will never forget. Camping Tours

4. Bring spare electronics.

When you're abroad, you're probably out all day: hopping from cafe to cafe, typing in front of crowded Saigon streets filled with bikers, or blasting emails on a Bali beach. Not all places you travel have easily accessible power outlets for recharging your gadgets. Extra batteries for your phone and replacement earphones will save you in the darkest hours. Popular Excursions

5. Book and travel after hours.

Nobody likes having a thousand tourists as extras in their shot of the Louvre. The beauty of being an entrepreneur with a mobile office is that you can travel all year round. Loren recommends traveling between September and November and January and March to save on flights, hotels, and experiences.

6. Stop waiting in line at the airport.

For under $100 and a ride to the airport, you can get a TSA Pre-check/Global Entry card. American Express Platinum cardholders can even get these costs reimbursed. About Oman

7. Consider moving.

No seriously. Nomad List is a great place to start as the site helps you find the best places to work and live remotely. Nomad List can help you find co-working spaces around the world, calculate the cost of living no matter where you're traveling from, and even give you city safety and quality of life ratings. This is especially important for Loren, as she is a woman who normally travels alone. Trending Tours


8. Take a vacation.

Moving around can be tiring, so sometimes you need a break while on vacation. Loren hasn't had a traditional job in over 5 years, nor has she worked from an office. This also means that she has forgotten the luxury of how a 40-hour workweek feels like since she generally has to work in California time. On a typical trip to Asia, you'll find Loren on conference calls after 2 a.m. Work never stops, so she needs to schedule some 'me' time outside of work to make sure she enjoys herself abroad too.
