    Importance of Moving On Flights

    / Comments Off on Importance of Moving On Flights

    On this week’s Travel Tip Tuesday, we talk about a recent story of a Canadian traveller who almost died from a blood clot while flying and we were reminded of the importance of this. Getting up while flying to walk or go to the washroom can seem like a hassle, and often you don’t want to disturb the person next to you, but moving around is so important and could save your life. We dive into the signs to watch out for to help keep you safe while flying! We all want to see the world, but we also want to return home safely!

    Join us on this cathartic episode inspired by a Buzzfeed article, where we talk about all things plane travel etiquette – the quintessential dos and don’ts of spending time cramped in a small space with strangers. We reached out to our listeners and had them weigh in, and in this episode, we dive into their most irritating pet peeves and what you can do to be a better plane traveller. No one is perfect, and most of us have done at least one of these either on purpose or by accident, but in a world where people seem more concerned with themselves than the collective, have a listen and see…

    Finding Comfort Food While Traveling Abroad

    / Comments Off on Finding Comfort Food While Traveling Abroad

    Traveling is about exploring our world and trying new things, and that is why most people do it! One thing about traveling is that there is always a lot to consider while out on the road, such as what you want to see, where you need to go, and what you are going to eat next. Trying new foods can be so fun, and we highly recommend it, but sometimes you are just on the go and want something you know and are familiar with to fill the void! That can mean trying a chain restaurant or coffee shop you know well from your home country, and sometimes, you know…

    Does your work have a discount program, and if it does, do you know what it offers!?  Perkopolis is one used by many bigger corporations here in Canada, as an example. Many people have these types of work programs but don’t think to use them and are likely missing out on saving money!   Of course, being a travel podcast, we are most interested in the travel perks, and both of our workplaces offer some discounts on airlines and hotel stays. Even your credit card, especially a travel points credit card, often has discounts, and we should be taking full advantage – it is part of the annual fee you likely…
