asking 4 money instead of presents
★
Started planning
Friday 1 April 2011

Good internet makes a hell of a difference, although,
not having it all the time makes you more productive
Friday 1 April 2011

48. WE TRAVELLED DIGITAL
TOO...
Friday 1 April 2011

49. Tools we loved
★
AirBNB.com, local craigslist & google: holy cow!
★
The combo wifi/3g + Booking.com rocks! We once
arrived in Thailand from Belgium, booked a flight on
low cost carrier, and immediately booked a hotel via
booking.com. All in the airport...
★
Facebook & twitter: travel recommendations
Friday 1 April 2011

50. Tools We Didn’t
★
KAYAK.com: although a very nice site + app.. We love
the convenience of a travel agency, and the fact you
can call them. And eventually, if not on low cost
carriers, they always have similar prices.
★
Lonely Planet Guides on iPad/iPhone SUCK. Better
think WallPaper Guides.
Friday 1 April 2011

AFTER THOUGHTS

You just can’t do it all. You’re not a tourist, you have a
working life and are not on vacation. Although many
people think you are.
★
Tourist stuff is expensive. Very expensive.

Starting over and over again is tiring.

a little more)
