    Scary travel movies inspired by true events PART II

    When we think about scary travel movies, Eli Roth’s incredibly bloody horror movie Hostel is probably the first thing that pops into your head. But there are many more travel movies that are scarier simply because they are based on real stories. These aren’t the kind of stories about people getting slaughtered, these are the kind of stories that freak you out because you know someone lived it and has survived to tell the story. They’re about people surviving terrible accidents or situations. They’re freaked out by mother nature instead of zombies or murderers. Must watch for travelers, because who knows, you might pick up some survival skills! Somehow, after I watched the Shallows recently, I’m SO into this kind of thrillers, so I decided to collect a few recent ones I saw inspired by true events. And yes, I must admit, they do fuel my wanderlust, often they start in the most beautiful places like Mexico, Hawaii or Australia. Enjoy!

    Holiday gift guide: the perfect gifts to make every type of traveler happy

    We all have the adventurous traveler in the family or as a friend, and in my case, it’s often me. Sure, you can buy awesome travel-related gifts to them, but most of the time, they want to travel light. So what should you buy? Everyone with a serious case of wanderlust can’t think about anything else, so do get them a travel related gift!

    If they just moved, you can get something cute with a map design for their house. Or if they have a luxurious holiday coming up, get that towel harness (this one is awesome!) because they probably have space for it in their suitcase. But if you’re looking for a gift for a long-term traveler, give them something they can use on the road and that doesn’t take up space in their backpack. For every traveler there is something, and I have made a selection of my favorite items just for you.   (more…)

    7 compelling reasons why you need a tablet with you on the road

    They’re not as compact as a phone, but they don’t have the processing power of a computer. Why has the world gone crazy for tablets?

    These strange hybrid inventions have taken over the world. Children are using them. Businessmen are using them. With many models to choose from, it’s a competitive market. But what’s so special about them? If you’ve been watching the trend grow curiously and are still unsure of what the hype’s about, this guide ought to explain everything and will have you scanning the internet to buy one. I thought about getting a tablet again for traveling, after I sold my iPad because I didn’t use it much at home. Now I’m almost full time on the road, I think I need one, and these are a few reasons why:  (more…)

    Why I moved my backups and photos from Google Drive and Mega to OneDrive

    Ever heard of OneDrive? Chances are, if you use Hotmail, you have. OneDrive is Microsoft’s Cloud Storage solution and after I made the move a few months ago, I’m now officially a fan. If you signup you receive a mere 5GB for free, that used to be 15GB, and compared to Google’s 15GB you ask me why should I move? Well, there are a few ways to up your GB’s game with OneDrive. I actually received a 200GB free code with my external hard drive purchase recently, so that was nice. You can invite people to join, and you’ll receive 0,5GB both for free, but that’s only up to 10GB (sign-up here with my code and receive your first extra 0,5 GB).  (more…)

    Why vacation real estate can be great for both business and pleasure

    For most of us, having seasonal property is a bit of a pipe dream. We would all love to have a ‘holiday home’, but the expenses often mean that it stays just that: a pipe dream. However, have you ever thought of buying a vacation property and using it as a business venture?

    If you live the digital nomad lifestyle, it probably means you’re never in the same place for long.

    So if you could do with a little extra cash (who couldn’t, really!), investing in holiday property could provide you with a significant return. Then, when you are not renting it out, you have somewhere home-like to visit that enables you to spend time in a certain part of the world.

    Whether you choose to keep it just for yourself and family or whether you choose to make it into a rental, here are the top things you should look for in new real estate.

    The complete guide to running your business from your computer

    If you run your own business and somehow haven’t dragged yourself into the digital age yet, then I commend you for somehow keeping up. Computers have made everything a lot easier and more efficient, and as a result faster. Communications that might have taken a week back in the 1970s, can now be relayed in a matter of minutes through a series of emails and attachments. Everyone is online now. And that’s because computers can handle pretty much all aspects of your business.
