5 Things I Noticed In Venice, Italy
At the end of every trip to a new city or country, I always reflect on what is different about that place from all the others I’ve visited. Sometimes it’s a cultural variation, sometimes it’s the physical geography. Other times it’s something I was expecting that turned out not to be the case. Here’s what I noticed on our recent trip to Venice in January. […]
What to do in Venice in January
There’s something decadent about travelling to an iconic destination in the off season. Unburdened by hordes of other tourists, moving about to popular sights is relatively painless. There are no line-ups and no obstructed views. When Steve had work travel to the Netherlands for a few days in January, we decided to tack on a side trip. The beauty of Europe’s geographically close composition is that the possible destinations for such a getaway are numerous. We chose Venice. […]
Tag Along Travel Year in Review: 2016
It’s time to say so-long to 2016, but as I head into what’s shaping up to be another eventful year in tag-along business travel, it’s worth reviewing this past year’s destinations. As usual, I didn’t plan to go to many of these destinations. One of the things I like about the kind of business travel Steve does is that it’s a bit unpredictable. That means opportunities to visit places I’d never think of on my own. […]
What to do on a business trip tag-along to Stuttgart, Germany
Stuttgart may be best known as the home to the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums, but this German capital city is also about stately architecture, soaring vineyards, and one of the best town squares for whiling away a Saturday afternoon. If you’re heading to Stuttgart on business or tagging along as I did recently, you will have many options for what to do. […]
Five Things I Noticed In Sofia, Bulgaria
For good or bad, when we travel, we notice all the differences from our own hometowns and cultures. Reactions range from “Why doesn’t everyone do this?” to “This is the stupidest thing ever!” We view everything through our own cultural lens. The more that the culture and surroundings are different from our own, the more they stand out. This is the big bonus of travel for me. It widens one’s perspective. In that spirit, here are five things I noticed when visiting Sofia, Bulgaria. […]
What to Do on a Tag-Along Business Trip to Sofia, Bulgaria
In a previous job, Steve was part of a software development team working in Bulgaria’s capital city Sofia. He travelled to work with the team for a couple of weeks at a time every six weeks or so. A variety of circumstances prevented me from ever tagging along back then. When Steve had an opportunity to return recently, the stars aligned and I was able to tag along. I had heard so much about Sofia and was excited to experience the city myself. […]
