What should you do first while looking for a travel buddy?

Many people who desire to travel around the world and see breathtaking places don’t have a suitable travel companion. And not everyone can make an announcement “travel buddy wanted” via social networks.

Most likely your perfect travel buddy and even destiny are not among your old internet friends. And this is the main reason to start looking for a travel buddy on the special project. At first pick and post your best photos, decide where you want to go and what do you plan to visit, write all hobbies, interests and plans in your personal profile and start an exciting race of making new friends all around our planet.

There are several secrets that help while choosing a travel buddy

Pay attention to people’s plans and habits. For example, if a person writes in a profile that he prefers energetic lifestyle with tons of activities and you enjoy calm and quite sightseeing – probably you won’t make a good match even if other interests are similar. If you two are early birds – that’s great, if not it could do you wrong. Imagine the situation when your buddy is a night owl and doesn’t give you a chance to rest.

So try to write a list of what you prefer while traveling. Do you like organized or spontaneous trips? Riding a car or hiking miles? Dining at home or tasting foreign cuisine? And you can also mention on what side of the bed you sleep. Make a funny note - travel buddy with left bedside preference wanted. Fortunately, your perfect travel buddy will appreciate this tiny joke. And don’t forget that sense of humor is one of the most important things in any relationship.

Feb 12, 2021 • 8 min read

Through some apps, you can start arranging dates before you leave home © Vitalii Matokha / Shutterstock

Traveling is all about getting outside your comfort zone and tasting the local flavors – which don’t have to stop at food and drink – and being receptive to things you’d might not encounter at home.

Once considered taboo, dating apps have become the ultimate travel essential, especially if you’re hitting the road solo . A fast-track to plugging into the hometown crowd, they’ll help save time you might otherwise spend taking a blind chance on a nightlife scene, and open you up to a subset of people you’d otherwise never meet. 

Connecting with locals can help you experience a destination more deeply than you would if you were charting your own path. From underground dance parties and hidden watering holes to home-cooked meals and language exchange, you could make new friends, go on fun dates, have hot hook ups, and maybe even find real love – anything is possible with a sense of adventure, an open mind, and a handful of best practices. 

The different dating apps

Pick the platform that best suits you, and install it ahead of your trip so you can hit the ground running when you arrive. 

With users in more than 190 countries, Tinder is among the most popular dating platforms worldwide. It offers the ability to change your location so you can browse in any city with its “Passport” feature, available with a paid “Tinder Plus” subscription. This feature is well worth the money (nevermind the ageist pricing: US$9.99 per month for the under 30 set and $19.99 per month for those older), as it allows you to get a head start with swiping so you can start conversations with matches and tee up plans before you’ve even packed your suitcase.

For many women, being bombarded by creepster solicitations can be overwhelming, if not downright repelling from dating altogether. Women-focused Bumble puts the control in the thumbs of its female users, who must initiate contact with matches within 24 hours before the connection disappears. And the guys are hotter than on Tinder – any woman, anywhere, can corroborate. 

For some, a handful of photos and a 500-character profile doesn’t cut it when it comes to determining a suitable match. OKCupid features more robust profiles, a categorized search function – you can easily set your location to the destination that you’re headed to – and in-depth questionnaires that feed into an algorithm, which determines a percentage-based compatibility score between matches. 

LGBTQIA+-specific apps

While the above apps are all LGBTQIA+ friendly, Grindr has long been the go-to for gay men. Users who subscribe to the “XTRA” service ($29.99/mo) can use the “Explore” feature to search for matches in any location and lockdown dates in advance; just be conscious of the customs and laws surrounding homosexuality wherever you’re visiting – authorities in some countries have been known to target, track and arrest gay men by using the app.

Grindr touts itself as a space that includes all queer, trans and non-binary people and is open to women, but their presence is virtually nil. HER was created for lesbian, bi and queer women, and to ensure that the platform is safe for its intended demographic, users can report profiles of straight men or couples on the prowl for threesomes.

Couples in search of a guest star while on holiday should try Feeld – which appeals to anybody with an open mind, partnered and single alike. From swinging and polyamory to kink and radically transparent one night stands, it’s a sex-positive platform where anything goes. Feeld also allows you to change your location to one of their “Cores” – major cities across the world with a high number of users, such as New York , São Paulo , Melbourne , Paris and Singapore .

Getting it right

There are a few things to think about to ensure the best experience when using dating apps on your travels.

Perfect your profile

To optimize your profile, list where you’re from, the dates you’ll be on the ground, and a few things you’re into, like a type of food or activity; you can even make a call for recommendations. And if you aren’t down to hook up, do state so – people are presumptuous no matter where you are in the world.

Keep the text brief, punchy and digestible. Post up-to-date photos that show you and your interests clearly, so matches can use them as a conversation starter – a handstand photo in front of Machu Picchu will have more people sliding into your DMs than a pixelated group shot in a bar where you’re barely discernible amongst your friends.

Be intentional

It’s important to go into this experience knowing exactly what you want. A tour guide? A dinner companion? A language teacher? A cross-cultural romance ? Many locals are happy and proud to show off their hometowns, so be up-front about what you’re looking for when communicating.

You’ll likely find that people are intrigued by you, a mysterious foreigner with an interesting accent, and aren’t put off by the prospect of a short-term connection.

Swipe strategically

If you’re staying in a big city, keep your location setting within a five-mile radius. You may also opt to adjust the age range to narrow it down to people who more closely fit your ideal. Time is of the essence, so don’t be surprised if your match wants to go from zero to 100 – if they swiped knowing that you’re only around for a short time, odds are they’re down to skip the small talk and get straight to the point.

If that's what you want too, then keep the conversation snappy and don’t let it linger without some move to action for too long – ideally, you should exchange numbers within a couple of scrolls down your screen. 

Take it to text

WhatsApp is the most commonly used texting app across the world and works across operating systems and on wi-fi, so be sure to download it if you don’t already use it. When communicating with a match, be upbeat and candid – but also direct and politely firm.

Ask for last names, more photos, or links to social media profiles, and internet stalk away if you want a better sense of who they are. Anybody who refuses most likely has something to hide. If it eases your mind to have a phone call or video chat before meeting, don’t hesitate to initiate it. 

Respect customs

When it comes to dating, cultural norms vary around the world. Be sensitive to customs around courting and remain aware of what’s socially acceptable when it comes to public displays of affection. This especially applies to the LGBTQIA+ community, as some 70 countries criminalize homosexuality. Know the laws of country you’re planning to visit ( this map is a good place to start ).

Tinder users will find that a travel alert pops up when the app is opened in a country where LGBTQIA+ status equates to a crime, and they must opt in to be shown in these locations. Grindr issues warnings to users as well, and the app is completely banned in Turkey, Indonesia, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Swipe safely 

Common sense, clear boundaries and direct communication are critical when swiping. You can always unmatch the moment you feel uncomfortable or change your mind. Remember that these are perfect strangers and you don’t owe anyone an explanation – ever. Never share exactly where you’re staying and avoid letting on that you don’t know your way around.

The first date

For a first date, meet in a busy, public place during the daytime, no further than a mile from your accommodation. If you drink or use substances, know your limits and never take your eyes off your drink. Carry enough money to pay your own way and get back to your accommodation. Trust your instincts and don’t feel pressured to do anything you don’t want to do; if a date starts to take a strange turn, bow out immediately. 

Always make sure someone knows where you are. If you’re traveling solo, leave a hand-written note in your room, stating where you’re headed and who you’re with, or tell the receptionist. If that feels awkward, shoot a text with your date’s contact details, profile and message screenshots, or your live geolocation to a friend back home. 

If you find yourself in a seedy nightlife scenario where your date knows every single person working there, stay conscious of shifty motives or a ruse. In some countries, it’s not uncommon to swipe on matches who turn out to be sex workers in pursuit of clients.

When going the route of hooking up, enthusiastic, informed, and ongoing consent is imperative. Be direct about your expectations and intentions, moreso if there’s a language barrier – don’t be timid about using a translator on your phone to communicate clearly. 

Temper your expectations

Cast the net wide and don’t get too hung up on one person or experience. When deciding on activities, it’s cool to mention some things your list, but go with the flow and let your date make suggestions, too.

Splitting the bill can help keep any expectations in check for both people, but if someone goes the distance to show you around, picking up a meal or a round of drinks is a nice gesture. 

While true love can certainly come from this experience, if you keep your focus on making meaningful human connections, having lighthearted fun, and experiencing the destination in an alternative way, you’ll go home with fond memories of new friends, steamy stories for your homegirls or lads, and maybe even a new long-distance love to lure you right back.

The 5 Best Dating Apps for Travelers

Daniel Kim Photography/Stocksy

As the popularity of dating apps continues to rise, the stigma surrounding them has declined dramatically—so much so that dating apps are being used for more than just the traditional date. Solo travelers are swiping left and right to connect with like-minded adventurers or in-the-know locals who can show them a good time off the beaten path in their hometown. The best dating apps for travelers are like having your very own tour guide who knows where all the hip bars, hot spots, and must-see tourist attractions are. For those who wish to keep things platonic and avoid romantic expectations, just be straightforward and honest from the beginning about your intentions. The same safety rules that you follow at home apply overseas.

Always meet in a public place and never do anything you don't feel comfortable doing.

Bumble BFF  is a great app for solo travelers who really want to share their experiences with someone else. You can download the app and start connecting with people at your final destination. The app allows you to chat with fellow adventurers in the same place as you or befriend some of the locals who can show you around their hometown and host a unique tour. 

You never know who you'll meet while traveling, but you will with  TourBar on your phone. The digital matchmaking app lets you make friends (or find dates) ahead of time by connecting you with other travelers or locals before your trip. Say you were planning a trip to Glastonbury Festival but your friend canceled on you—well, TourBar can help you find out who's going and help you meet up with them when you're there.

This app takes the solitude out of travel and is specifically targeted to travelers looking for friends or a personal local guide to explore together. Simply download the app and start finding others who will be there too. Who you match up with or not is entirely up to you. Once you accept, you can chat within the app and start making plans.

There is something so liberating about traveling solo, but there may be moments you wished there was someone beside you to share in the sights and sounds or partake in a delicious local meal. Thankfully, apps like Airtripp allow you to find someone who's also a solo traveler in the same city or a local. 

And don't worry about your language skills either. This app also sends translated messages, and you can even send gifts.

As one of the world's largest apps for meeting new people, Skout can join you with millions of people around the world. You can connect with anyone anywhere using this app. This is especially handy when you're on the other side of the world and you want to explore the neighborhood but can't speak the language. Skout brings people together, whether it's a concert in New York, a hike in Hawaii, or a local bar in Barcelona.

As you're meeting people on your travels IRL, you'll need a way to keep in touch without using tons of data. Enter WhatsApp , a free messaging and calling service that's used all over the world. All you need is an internet connection—you'll then be able to chat with your international pal and even drop pins on Google maps so it's easy to meet up at the local café.

Dating Website for Business Travelers

“There are many professionals, especially those driven to succeed, who have a difficult time establishing and maintaining relationships due to heavy business travel schedules,” says AK Brennan, President of Eros Partners, LLC. “Spending the majority of each week on the road for business is a professional requirement that hampers a personal life.” Preach on AK, I feel ya’.

TravelingEncounters.com allows business travelers to create a profile in their home city and then calendar up to four planned trips at a time. Each time a trip is planned, a new view of the member’s profile is shown in the destination city. Locals, as well as other travelers to that city, are able to view and communicate with each other to create social contacts. For some reason, it brings Cathy from East of Eden to mind.

From now until December 2009, you can join TravelingEncounters for free by creating a profile and posting at least one photo of yourself.

The Eros Partners, LLC series of sites cater to the progressive-thinking adult, but respect individual privacy with intimate topics. After all, just because you are progressive-thinking doesn’t mean you want to broadcast intimate details about yourself to the world. To accomplish this goal of balancing access to public and private information, Eros Partners’ members have public and private profiles.

Public Profile : The public profile contains basic information that you’d share with pretty much anyone.

Private Profile: Your private profile, provides more intimate details like health, grooming and your views on adult subjects. Much more saucy. For another member to see this portion of your profile, you have to give him or her permission.

To make searches productive, members can control who is able to view their profile. You can show information on gender preference, age, race, height and distance. Once your preferences are set, only members who fit those criteria are able to view your public profile.

I still refuse to try online dating, so I’d love your feedback if you give the site a shot.

The Alex Hotel

Tips For Having A Fling While Traveling On Business

Here at The Alex Hotel , we cater to all types of travelers and their needs. Many businessmen and women travel throughout the United States annually. In 2017, 466 million people traveled for business reasons alone ( based on this study ). This is forecasted to increase by 10 million trips alone by the year 2020.

One thing you need to realize is that lots of people traveling are single, divorced, or perhaps in a relationship yet lonely. When that’s the case, people need a place to meet potential casual partners. Thankfully, some hotels are open to this type of activity. Given that we run a hotel, it only makes sense that we’d be well informed of how patrons meet others to hook up. Here are some tips and tricks for those that might want to hook up and have a fling while traveling.

How To Have A Quick Fling During Business Travel

If you’re anything like most men traveling alone, you get lonely and want to meet someone for a no strings attached fling. Trust me, there are specific steps that one needs to take in order to make this happen. The good news is that it’s not that difficult. I’ll lay things out for you right here, right now…

Hang In Hotel Bars

The first thing I can tell you to do is to hang out in a nice hotel bar. If you’re staying nearby a W Hotel, then I’d consider booking a hotel room there if I were you. They have some hot local women that always hang around this hotel chain, regardless of the location. There are other hotels as well. You’ll want to go ahead and book a high-end hotel and not your typical Holiday Inn. Trust me, the “upscale” bars are better for this type of thing.

Join Fling Dating Sites

The next thing you’ll want to do if you haven’t already if join a fling dating website network. These are networks that have been specifically designed to connect you with local women and men who are looking to have some fun. If you’re completely unaware of which networks to try, then my suggestion would be to head on over to http://www.bestflingdatingsites.com/ and just try one of those top ranked sites.

Log Into The App

Once you’ve identified a site that looks appealing to you, then join, upgrade and log into the app. My favorite thing about these dating apps is that you can go ahead connect with tons of people in an intimate, yet very casual manner. One thing you do not want to do is use the traditional app like Tinder . It’s not quick enough in terms of results.

Message Locals

Once you’re connected with these women or men, you’ll want to message the locals and try to connect with them on a relatable level. Try to build a commonality between you and the local using the app. Oh, I should mention that it’s important you only message people within a mile radius.

Don’t be afraid to make plans with someone that you see online on the network. The reason that they are a part of the network is to connect for fun. It’s an environment that you can plan on being open and free in, talking about intimacy and other things.

Meet For Fun

Once you connect with these locals. Ask them to meet you at the upscale hotel bar, preferably the hotel that you are staying at now. This makes it much easier to hook up. I can’t stress the importance of this step. If you do it any other way, you’ll end up fumbling things and not hooking up with anyone at all!

Those are all the tips that I’ve got for you and everything you need to know about having a fling while traveling on business.

For starters, there was an orgy with a pro sports team.

In a world full of adventures, it can be empowering to travel alone — and on your own terms. Whether you dream of soaking up the sun on some far-flung beach or want to try a croissant from every cute sidewalk cafe in Paris, chasing your wanderlust can be majorly satisfying. But there’s a difference between traveling alone and being alone.

Let’s say you hit it off with a local on a crowded dance floor in Amsterdam. Or perhaps you connect with a hostelmate while hiking a national park in Bangkok. Regardless of how casual hookups happen, they can still make your travel experience more insightful. “Like everything when we travel, hookup experiences are ways we explore new cultures and new people,” Beth Santos, founder and CEO of Wanderful , tells Elite Daily.

If you’re planning to scope out someone cute on your next vacation, you’re far from alone. A 2021 survey by the blog Solo Female Travelers found that 85% of Gen Z women travel alone to meet people .

While a travel hookup can be exciting, it’s important to consider safety. Kimberly Koehler, a dating and relationship coach and co-founder of Nomad Soulmates , a dating site for digital nomads, says part of making the experience enjoyable is thinking even before you begin your trip. She suggests you should ask yourself: “What do I need to feel secure? How will my friends know where I am? How do I ensure that I can get out of a situation if needed?”

So, as you pack your fifth (OK, maybe sixth) swimsuit for a steamy week in Cabo or your winter gear for a cozy ski trip in Banff, remember to bring what you need for a potential hookup. Santos encourages packing protection. In travel situations, you don’t have the knowledge of birth control options, she explains. “Take care of ‘future you’ now.”

Once you’re on your trip, you can both be safe — and have fun. Lily Heise , a romantic travel expert, says she looks for the liveliest bar to mingle. Just keep an eye on your drink, she recommends. For connections online, try to learn about the person before meeting. Ask for a link to one of their social channels, says Kelsey , a travel blogger who runs an Instagram called @sightsbetterseen. In scenarios where you change your mind, Heise suggests having a readymade excuse. Koehler adds that it’s crucial to be confident in knowing that you have the strength to say no. And listen to your gut. “If something feels off, it probably is,” Kelsey says.

Traveling solo allows you to create an experience that’s entirely yours. Maybe your goal is to backpack the Grand Canyon or visit museums in Cairo. If you happen to make a connection along the way, it’s key to be prepared. By keeping safety in mind, there’s a better chance that you’ll have a hookup that you enjoy — and remember long after the trip is over.

Ready to spice up your next trip? Take inspiration from these 10 solo travelers who stumbled into all sorts of frisky adventures, from a fling in a luxurious honeymoon suite to an orgy with pro athletes.

An Orgy In Belgium

“I was out in a club in Brussels, Belgium, and started dancing with this guy. His friend was dancing with another girl. Next thing I know, they were switching places.

They asked me and this girl if we wanted to go home with them, and we said yes. In the cab over, they kept telling us they’re part of the Georgia rugby team, but we didn’t believe them. We got back to their hotel and realized two of their friends were there, also with girls, all in the same suite. This turned into the first ever orgy I attended. In the morning, I Googled them and found they were, in fact, members of the team.”

— Meg*, 25, Illinois

A Honeymoon Suite In Bali

“I was traveling in Ubud when I got dinner with a Tinder match. It came up that he was supposed to propose to his girlfriend on the trip, but they broke up a few weeks before, and he came as a distraction.

The next day, he texted me that I should come to his fancy hotel. So, I went over, and his room had ‘congratulations’ messages and flowers everywhere, since the hotel thought they were hosting an engaged couple. We started hooking up, but I pumped the brakes because the rose petals and Champagne glasses reminded me I’m an absolute rebound.

We went to eat, and he started asking for advice on how to win his ex back. We said goodbye and never spoke again.”

— Audrey*, 28, Illinois

Couch-Surfing In Denmark

“I was traveling in Copenhagen and needed a place to crash for the night. There’s an app for couch-surfing, and the person I connected with was a college dude. I got off the flight and went to the guy’s place, and his sister was visiting from Spain. She was staying in another room and ended up inviting me to hers that night.”

— Min*, 27, Virginia

Three Friends In Mexico

“I was traveling in Isla Mujeres and met my local friend, his girlfriend, and his girlfriend’s best friends. I hooked up with the group of best friends on separate days. All three knew — I expected one of the hookups but the other two were a surprise.

Friday started with Tate*, which was random because we were going to order food in my hotel room and before you know it, we’re having sex. The next day, I had sex with the second friend, Avery*, for hours. On the last night, I hooked up with the third friend, Mia*. It was a great experience and I wish they would’ve been down to do it all together.”

— Camila*, 28, Texas

Stargazing In The Sahara Desert

“I was traveling throughout Morocco and spent a few nights in the Sahara desert. It was my first time seeing the Milky Way, and I was mesmerized by the view. A local guide journeyed away from the group and we laid on the dunes for hours. Although we didn't go all the way, it stands out as one of my most vivid memories because it was so romantic with the views.”

— Zuri*, 24, Arkansas

A Bar Restroom Encounter In Miami

“I was out in Miami and knocked on the restroom door at a bar. A girl opened it and pulled me in. I was surprised since I had never seen her before. Without a word, we made out. We then left and proceeded to hook up in the bushes before going our separate ways.”

— Emily*, 26, Louisiana

A Harbor Hookup In Croatia

“I was traveling in Croatia and staying with a local friend. One night, we went to a bar and a guy came up to me. My friend had also met someone, so we decided to meet up later since she had the only key to our place. I continued the night, and the guy ended up booking a hotel for us.

When we went to check in, we were told the hotel was closed. We decided to go down the street and hooked up at the harbor, out in the open. I went home afterward, but my friend was still out, so I had to wait outside our place for hours.”

— Anastasia*, 31, Michigan

Bite Marks In Chicago

“I was traveling to Chicago for a musical festival. On my last night, I met a Tinder match at a bar. We began making out, but she started biting my lips aggressively — I was even bleeding a bit.

We ended up having sex at her place, but I had bite marks throughout my arms, legs, and other places. She also wanted to cuddle after, but I had a plane to catch, so I told her I had to get home.”

— Aniyah*, 23, Oregon

A Threesome In Senegal

“I was traveling to Dakar and met my main squeeze at a party. When I asked him if he would engage in a threesome with his friend, whom I had met at a bar, he expressed that he would ask him. When I got into the back of his car, he drove us to the bench across from a mosque, and I had a wonderful time with both of them.”

— Joy*, 31, Texas

Multiple Connections In Colombia

“I was traveling in Medellín and pay for Bumble Premium, so I can start swiping in a city before I get there. Usually when I land, I already have dates set up. Two of my hookups happened in a private hostel room, and one was her apartment. The main thing is that we stay in touch via Instagram. It’s happened that I end up in a similar city as some of these girls and we hook up again.”

— Anam*, 27, New York

• Platforms supported: iOS 
• Pricing: Free to use, booking lounge incurs lounge fees (location specific) 

3. TripAdvisor  

Your ultimate travel companion 

TripAdvisor is a household name when it comes to personal ventures. But did you know it also offers valuable tips and insights tailored to the needs of professionals on the go? 

With authentic first-hand reviews, valuable suggestions, and transparent star ratings, business travelers can effortlessly uncover local hotspots and make informed decisions about where to dine, relax, or explore during downtime.

Putting the leisure in bleisure

5. CityMapper

• Languages supported: Over 30 languages, including English, Arabic, Catalan, French, Spanish, Turkish, German, Hebrew, Hindi, and Simplified Chinese (just to name a few!) 

8. Ride-sharing 

The modern way to travel 

Let’s be real – cabs are as good as obsolete and public transport isn’t always a feasible (or favorable) option. In 2023 and beyond, a reliable ride-sharing service is a must-have in any selection of business travel software. 

However, there’s no obvious winner here. The “best app” varies by city and/or country. For example, Uber and Lyft have international notoriety that promises reliable, efficient transportation just about anywhere. The issue is they’re not legal everywhere.  

Jetting overseas to an event in Geneva or Brno? You’ll have better luck sticking with FreeNow, a leader in many European cities, including those where other apps, such as Uber, are not available. 

9. SpotHero  

Park like a pro 

Finding a parking spot in unfamiliar terrain is not for the faint of heart – especially in bustling metropolises like New York (shudder).  

Luckily, SpotHero allows you to secure your parking space before you even set foot in the city.  

No more circling around in search of a vacant spot – now you can browse and book parking options conveniently in advance and easily compare rates for parking lots, garages, and nearby public facilities. Although not your traditional business travel management software, SpotHero still empowers you to take control of your parking needs, transforming what used to be a source of frustration into an effortless part of your business travel experience. 

It’s safe to say SpotHero has earned the last half of their name. 

• Pricing: Free to use, pay per parking session

Where to Meet Clients When You’re on a Business Trip

Part of the fun of a business trip is getting to work from a new place, but when it’s time to entertain or host clients, you don’t have your usual conference rooms or staple coffee shops to turn to. On the road you want to pick a spot that is relaxed, but also professional, has (preferably free!) wifi, isn’t too dark, and is available when you need it. Here are the best places for entertaining clients on a work trip.

The Coffee Shop Meet Up

Coffee shops are a great choice when you are meeting a client for a casual chat. You can treat them to a cup of coffee and touch base in a space that’s convenient for both parties. The main considerations are going to be whether the coffee shop has wifi, noise levels and space.

What is your favorite place to work on a Friday afternoon? . ?: @appleandcoffee #WithCroissant A post shared by Croissant (@getcroissant) on Sep 29, 2017 at 11:10am PDT

Temporary Co-Working Spaces

Sometimes you just need a quiet space filled with people working just as hard as you. A place that offers fewer distractions, fewer hiccups, and won’t make you feel guilty for not buying a cup of coffee or a pastry every few hours. Croissant is a great resource for finding co-working spaces when you’re traveling. Just look for spaces that allow guests.

A Dedicated Conference Room

If you are hosting a group of people for a dedicated meeting, a dedicated conference room will afford you all the amenities you need to conduct your meeting without a hitch. Book a meeting room in advance through a service like Croissant or Breather , and add some buffer time before hand so you can make sure the room is prepared before your clients arrive so you don’t keep them waiting. It’s always a nice touch to have coffee or a local snack on hand to offer attendees.

Work remotely – open to guests and locals, the Drawing Room offers coffee-shop bites, full meals, cocktails and more in a library atmosphere. ?: @javiercanophotography A post shared by Chicago Athletic Assoc. Hotel (@chicagoathletichotel) on Aug 22, 2017 at 6:43am PDT

A Conversation Over Drinks at the Hotel Bar

When you know your clients well, it’s always nice to meet for a conversation over drinks, and usually the hotel bar is not only convenient for you, but a well-known landmark. The happy hour meeting is also a great way to squeeze in extra client time when traveling to a conference and juggling a jam-packed schedule. It’s just important to make sure the venue isn’t too loud.

Dinner and Discussion

For the clients you are trying to woo, dinner is always a fun option. Plus, you can exclude these dinners from your budget as client entertainment, freeing up your trip budget for other things like extra legroom on your flight back.

We’ve compiled a list of 10 excellent travel apps to help professionals travel seamlessly while conducting business and meeting deadlines.

What is a business travel app?

A business travel app is a smartphone application that can ease the challenges of business travel by tracking your expenses and finding you a hotel room, among other features. The best combination of business travel apps can take the stress out of business travel by streamlining work and travel plans.

Travel is just one factor in a job’s stress level , along with deadlines, competitiveness and physical demands.

We’ve included apps that can help with varied business travel needs, and each app is available for both iOS and Android.

Jetzy is a marriage between a social media platform and a travel app. It uses location-based services and a social ecosystem to match travelers with experiences that suit their preferences.

Expense trackers often integrate with the best accounting software to execute real-time financial reporting

Best for electronic signatures: DocuSign

DocuSign allows you to carry contracts and other important documents that need to be signed while on the go.

Complete the process electronically by forwarding the signed document to personnel to review and approve.

40+ Expert Business Travel Tips for a Smooth Business Trip

This article was originally published on our site Nomad Paradise. As part of a rebrand, we are publishing all our travel packing and tips content in one place for you to enjoy - The Travel Method. For world cuisine and recipes, you can keep visiting Nomad Paradise.

Business travel is a necessity. Whether you’re an intern or a CEO, the world of work is global. But where those traveling for leisure can afford the luxury of slipping into bed after a long flight, business travelers simply cannot. Important meetings will not be rescheduled because you made it in at 2 a.m. Conferences still expect you to speak, no matter how tired you are.

But in today’s age, business travel does not have to derail you. As travel has evolved, so have our methods of dealing with it. With the input of seventeen professionals who frequently travel for work, we’ve compiled a must-read list of over forty essential tips to help make your next work trip run smoothly.

Booking Tips

1. Dress for upgrades.  

Katherine Rothman, CEO of  KMR Communications , says it’s much easier to get upgrades when you board a plane or arrive at a hotel if you’re dressed smartly and look the part.

2. Always make sure you have an assigned seat. 

Katherine also says it is much harder for an airline to ‘bump’ you with an assigned seat, which could potentially be disastrous for your business trip.

3. Scan your accommodation’s Twitter posts. 

Nick Gray, founder of  Museum Hack , says it’s wise to scan your hotel’s Twitter posts before arriving. Many hotels run social media promotions that allow you to feel like a VIP without spending like one.

For example, sometimes, Kimpton Hotels post a social password on their Twitter account. When you say the social password at check-in, you’ll get a surprise, which could include a free bottle of wine, parking, a coffee mug, drinks at the bar, a room upgrade, dining vouchers, a hot chocolate kit, or an in-room movie.

4. Book your flight in incognito mode on your browser. 

Founder of  Talk Travel , Saurabh Jindal, always books flights through a new incognito window. Incognito mode does not store cookies (served by the website) on your system. Thus, it cannot track you.

Therefore, the website you are booking through cannot raise the price, which could be triggered when a user searches for the same thing more than once.

5. Check fares with Skiplagged.  

David Pike, founder of the  New York Trolley Company and advisor for startups at Founder Institute, always checks the Skiplagged app before booking. It shows you hidden fares to cities by missing the second leg of a flight.

For example, if you want to fly from New York to Nashville, Skipplagged might find a cheaper flight from New York to Chicago with a layover in Nashville. You wouldn’t board the second flight, hence saving money. You won’t, however, be able to check a bag.

Packing Tips

6. Pack as light as possible. 

Everything In Its Place  founder Eileen Roth packs skirts and dresses, as they are thinner than slacks. Blouses are also a good choice, as they are thinner than sweaters. Less weight means you can pack more.

If it’s cooler in conference rooms, add a sweater and suit jacket in a basic black to top off the outfit and change that every other day.

7. Wear the only pairs of shoes you bring. 

Frequent traveler Carmella says if you do, your shoes should be waterproof, airport-sensible, and business-appropriate everywhere from Canada down to Texas. Short black leather boots with the lowest heel are a sensible choice.

8. Even with TSA precheck, liquids are a gamble.  

Between reusable water bottles, mouth rinse bites, and solid shampoo bars, there is no need to carry liquids. Pare down the toiletries and replace them with dry products.

9. Leave your designer luggage at home.  

If you are traveling abroad, as much as you might treasure your designer luggage, leave it at home, says Katherine Rothman. Why advertise to thieves that you have money or make yourself more noticeable? This is not a time you want to stand out.

10. Keep a pre-packed travel bag at home. 

Emily Mandagie, photographer and one half of travel blog  The Mandagies , has a dedicated business travel bag on hand, pre-packed with travel essentials before any trip. Although you’ll need to pack certain things on-demand, like clothes and shoes, some items like toiletries, cosmetics, and other travel products will generally stay the same. This way, you can unpack quickly after a trip and repack, knowing you have exactly what you need for the next trip cycle.

These pre-packed items include a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, lotion, and even a small container of shampoo and conditioner. When it comes to tech, Emily will also stow away a phone charger, extra batteries, and headphones.

Time-Saving Tips

11. Book non-stop flights.

Katherine Rothman recommends that you try booking non-stop flights whenever possible, even if it costs more.

If you are on a business trip where you may be meeting with prospective clients or partners, saving yourself the stress of potentially missing your layover if the flight is delayed pays off in the long run.

12. Sign up for TSA pre-check .

If you’re a United cardmember, you can have global reentry and TSA precheck reimbursed, Carmella says. Skip lines and rack up miles!

13. Utilize ‘priority luggage.’ 

This means your luggage will be the first to come off the plane. When you check your bags outside, you can usually tip $5.00 and say, “will you ticket me for priority baggage” and 99% of the time it works – people just don’t know it can be done. Katherine Rothman has used this time-saving technique many times.

14. Save all appointments (including addresses, names, and phone numbers) on your agenda. 

Local Insiders  founder, Silke Wolf, says this will save you time and make your trip so much more worry-free. The same applies to the information you need to prepare for your appointments.

To travel light and paper-free, save all documents to a specific folder on your Google Drive. (Don’t forget to make it available offline). This way, you’ll stay organized, and you can access all the information you need on the go.

Pre-Flight Tips

15. Before leaving, download important maps offline. 

Make sure directions, itineraries, and maps are downloaded to your phone offline, along with some music and podcasts for potentially bad service areas and the plane ride.

16. Take photos of receipts with an app. 

Alternatively, save the photos of receipts to Google Drive. Being prepared pays off when you least expect, as you never know when you’ll need to show proof of purchase.

17. Keep a Xerox copy of your passport.  

Katherine recommends keeping a copy of your passport in a separate place from your actual passport. If you lose your passport, this makes things much easier.

18. Never board a plane without two bottles of water and snacks.

Katherine also recommends buying two bottles of water and snacks before boarding the plane. You never know when your plane can be held on the ground for hours or diverted to another airport, and the airline crew may run out of food and drinks or not be allowed to serve.

19. Get organized with a list. 

Monica Kang, founder of  Innovators Box,  says that when you travel for work, you have to think about your dress code, what you bring, and, in her case, also a lot of materials she uses for workshops. It’s not fun when you bring the wrong outfit or not enough materials.

Monica recommends piling a list of things you want to bring in a room at home over a few days. That way, when you pack things last minute, you already have the core things you need to take with you readily available and won’t have a chance of forgetting them.

20. Don’t plan too much.

Silke points out that planning too many activities is one of the biggest mistakes business travelers make. Always consider travel times. And add some extra time in between meetings to accommodate factors beyond your control (traffic jams, late arrivals, etc.).

This will make your business travels so much more relaxed as you won’t have to rush around to be on time. This will give you peace of mind.

Essential Gear

21. Buy a lightweight suitcase.

Carmella says to find a lightweight, durable suitcase. Keep it extra small to fit in an overhead compartment on the express planes. If you have to check luggage, you can’t change flights to get home faster or to avoid bad weather.

Many flight attendants seem to use TravelPro, but there are also other quality brands on the market.

22. Use a 4-wheel carry-on case.

Management consultant Layton Cox says he lives and dies with three travel bags. The first is a simple four-wheel hard-case carry-on. In a perfect world, don’t get black. Everyone has black.

It also doesn’t have to be a huge brand name. Ninety percent of your clients will never see your luggage. He also suggests you find a bag with cloth or leather around the zippers, as the plastic and rubber tend to break after a while.

23. Use a briefcase with a slide.

Layton says the second bag every business traveler needs is a simple briefcase that fits over the handles of your carry-on. If you get a normal briefcase that does not fit over the handles of your carry-on, it becomes nearly impossible to operate your cell phone as you walk through the airport since both your hands are busy.

Make sure it has a laptop pocket. Your client will see this briefcase, so get black or brown leather. Nothing else.

24. Buy an anti-theft backpack.

If you’re worried about expensive and essential items being stolen, such as your trusted laptop, an anti-theft backpack is definitely worth looking into.

25. Travel with an electronics holder.

Layton’s third and final bag he always travels with is a simple electronics holder. It can be a packing cube filled with electronics and cords or a simple wallet-esque item that can hold a cellphone charger, headphones, and various other cords.

By having just one item with all of your electronics in it, you don’t have to worry if you packed your charger or that HDMI converter, as it’s always in the bag.

26. Use a rolling computer bag.

Eileen suggests that if you carry a laptop, you should use a rolling computer bag to carry papers, files, conference info/workbook, a pad of paper, and even snacks.

You probably will have extra room to add your makeup, hairbrush, and maybe a third pair of shoes or an extra purse.

27. Pack a travel adapter.

Victoria Thompson, Social Media Manager at Haystack Digital, says to always plan ahead and have a spare adaptor depending on which country you are visiting.

This will save you time and money in the long run, as adaptors at the airport always cost a fortune.

28. Bring a travel pillow.

Victoria also says packing items that are going to help you sleep is a must. Invest in a travel pillow that will help you sleep either in the hotel or on the airplane.

29. Use packing envelopes.

Nifty garment folders can help keep blouses, shirts, skirts, and slacks more wrinkle-free than trying to roll things or pack them in packing bags. Instead, use packing bags only for underwear and sleepwear.

30. Travel with a micro-router.

Team Building CEO, Michael Alexis, says the most useful item he travels with is a micro-router. You can connect a router to a wifi connection, for example, at a hotel or on a flight or cruise, and then connect all of your other devices to the router.

This setup has two major benefits. First, in cases where you pay for a connection, you only need one connection to service several devices. Secondly, you save time. Once set up, your devices connect to the router automatically, so you are entering login information only once.

Programs & Loyalty Schemes

31. Get a Rewards Credit Card.

Nicole Sutherland, travel photographer and writer at  Eat Live Travel Drink,  recommends the American Express Platinum. This gives her access to a bevy of perks that include airport lounges around the world, including their own private Centurion ones, Priority Pass, and Delta lounges.

32. Companion Pass Hack on Southwest Airlines. 

Nicole also recommends applying for both the Southwest Airlines personal and business cards if you run a small business. Each card gives you bonus miles when you spend a certain amount of money.

And, if you earn a certain number of miles in a year, you earn the companion pass, allowing a companion to fly free with you every time.

33. Get TSA Pre-Check, Clear, and Global Entry. 

Dave Pike says TSA Pre-Check, Clear, and Global Entry can save you hours every time you fly. The $85-$110 investment is well worth it and is deductible if your employer requires it.

34. Score free upgrades using airline loyalty programs. 

Torben Lonne, diving enthusiast and founder of  Dive In,  says one of his favorite travel hacks is getting a free upgrade to business class. Your chances are lower than scoring a last-minute seat change in the same class, but it’s still possible.

If you have air miles or loyalty points with your preferred airline, this increases your chances of getting upgraded to business class in the event of an overbooking. The passenger with the highest loyalty points gets automatically upgraded when this happens.

If there are more overbookings on the same flight, they will choose the passenger with the second most loyalty points and move down the list accordingly.

35. Get a co-working space membership.  

Upflex  CEO and co-founder, Christophe Garnier, says the last thing you want to think about is being confined to a coffee shop or hotel room for work.

When it comes to business travel hacks, the ability to easily find and book a good co-working space is paramount. It will help you save time and money while making local connections and making you more productive.

This is why co-working booking platforms are becoming business travelers’ new best friend – they aggregate available workspaces from around the world and let professionals book them on an as-needed basis.

In-Flight and Transport Tips

36. Make your final seat selection at the last moment.  

Torben recommends waiting until the last moment before making your final seat selection. You can do this through your smartphone via the web or the airline’s app and guarantee a window seat with a little patience.

Every flight has cancellations and last-minute seat changes, so all you need to do is wait until 30 minutes before boarding to book your final seat.

This is perfect when you’re stuck with a bad seat from when you booked the flight initially as a zero-cost ‘upgrade.’

37. Book your parking beforehand.

Head of Digital Marketing at YourParkingSpace , Gregory Golinski, says one of the worst challenges faced by business travelers is finding a parking space. You don’t want to be late for a meeting with a client because you’ve been circling around for an hour looking for a parking space.

He suggests pre-booking a parking space via online parking marketplaces such as Spothero in the US, YourParkingSpace in the UK, or Parkhound in Australia.

These platforms can help you book a private driveway or garage in advance so that you don’t have to look for a parking space for hours and can be on time. This can help you save time, money, and your sanity while on a business trip.

Safety Tips

38. If you are a woman traveling alone, ask for a room closer to the elevator in your hotel.

A safety tip for solo female travelers from Katherine is that you book a hotel room closer to the elevator. This way, you are not walking through long hallway mazes at night.

39. Make sure you get enough sleep and downtime.

Monica is extra mindful of where she spends her time, how much she sleeps, and what she eats. If she’s booking her time to meet other people and socialize, she will be too tired to deliver her work.

She also recommends downloading a few shows to binge-watch to decompress and rest. At the end of the day, if you show up feeling tired to do your work, why would they want to invite you back?

40. Be careful with the hotel wifi.

Ben Sadeghipour of Hackerone says it’s so easy to make fake wifi networks to track everything you’re doing online. At a hotel, you might see “Hotel Wifi” and “Hotel Free Wifi” and not know which one to pick.

Pick wrong, and a criminal will be able to track when you’re on their network or out of your hotel room. Also, never trust something that requires software to be installed. This is a sure sign of malicious activity.

41. Don’t post your boarding pass on social media.

Even if you cross out the numbers, you’re still at risk. There’s information hidden in QR codes that can be used to steal your personal data.

42. Be wary of public charging stations.

Public charging stations are a godsend when you are constantly on the go or your flight is canceled. However, anyone can steal information from your phone via USB. Always make sure you bring your own charger to plug into outlets or use a USB data blocker.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
