You’re stuck working in a Sydney office, a London pizza outlet, or a Chicago auto parts store. The most exotic thing in world to you, is the idea of getting paid to jet all over the world with a brief case, staying in good hotels and living high on the hog. That’s the myth of business travel.
Business travel is a case of ‘the grass is always greener’. Now I’m not saying making pizza in London beats it, its just that business travel ain’t all its cracked up to be. I’ve had the merest touch of what business travel an be, having flown around in the US, and around the world with BootsnAll.com. When I’m going to something like the World Cup it doesn’t seem like work, but imagine those guys and girls who have to get off at the other end, rush to a hotel, do a presentation and then back on the ‘red-eye’. Travelling to me means letting my hair down, dressing casual, readjusting my mental state and being open to wacky stuff. Pleasing ‘Mr. Smith’ just ain’t part of the deal.
There is good new though, for business travellers. There exists a website that brings together all kinds of superhuman wisdom, about business travel. So pack up your laptops boys, you’re not alone. Whether its Bangkok, Baltimore or Bali you call home, here’s home base online!
