KnowRoaming makes scouting wifi & phone service abroad seamless

So far in my WTT travels, I’ve only done one trek out of the US, to Canada (Toronto. is. amazing.). But when I did, roaming didn’t seem to work for me and my wifi options were dismal at the hotel. For someone whose work is almost all online, it was…

Cinderella's castle at Walt Disney World

Solo Disney World & Universal Studios: Even a nomad needs a respite (part 1)

How does a trip to Orlando and a couple theme parks fit in to WorkTravelTech? There is the travel aspect, undeniably, but then… well, let’s just say opportunities present themselves and stress needs to take a vacation. So did this girl. I tacked on Orlando to a conference trip in Florida.…

Fort Lauderdale

The Everglades by airboat

I knew that my Florida trip would not end without a visit to the Everglades. As part of the national parks, it is protected and plays host to an array of gorgeous wildlife: Herons, turtles and of course, alligators! Everglades Holiday Park shares this unique preserve via Everglades airboat tours, a rescue “gator…

Latinicity: Pan-Latin in the heart of the Loop

Our new Latinicity is bound to draw comparisons to the already mega-successful Eataly — but this new pan-Latin food hall is only similar in that you’ll also, certainly, have a great meal. Richard Sandoval’s first foray into the Chicago dining scene has been working out the kinks — and growing pains…

NGIN Workplace: Boston coworking

Add another Boston-area coworking spot to the mix (you’ll recall I reviewed a couple others previously): I’m happy to share NGIN Workplace, located in Cambridge. The focus here is definitely on community, with breakfasts, yoga and cross fit sessions and happy hours, plus an internal platform to share skillsets. I love the healthy…

Tourist in my own city: Humboldt Park, Chicago

Humboldt Park (1400 N Sacramento Ave, Chicago, IL 60622) is one of those spots I never truly attempted to see, and now that I have, I want to share this oasis with the world. It’s a gorgeous spot that belies the fact that just outside its bounds, a bustling city awaits.…

Chicago Staycation: Loews Chicago

Living in Chicago, it’s easy to get used to all the tall buildings, amazing restaurants and endless list of things to do. To be bored of it, even. After a weekend at Loews Chicago it’s much simpler to revise this opinion. Loews is located between Navy Pier and Michigan Avenue, so it’s a…

Tour Chicago’s Michigan Avenue like a local

I used to live near Michigan Avenue, or the Magnificent Mile, and saw it as my mall away from home — endless stores, some good restaurants and countless tourists. Tourists who stop in the middle of the sidewalk (or a busy street) to look at tall buildings, proclaim TGI Friday’s fine dining…

A walk on Devon, Chicago’s Little India

Chicago is a fascinating city, a true melting pot. And it’s always a shame to me if someone doesn’t experience the diversity of its neighborhoods and local hangouts. I used to conduct neighborhood tours all over the city, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t share some of the true…
