Currently Out of the Office

At the ripe old age of 25 I don't have much advice to offer most people. I don't currently have children and am pretty lousy with a toolbox. My yard is anything but beautiful and I am in no kind shape to be dishing out fitness advice. There is however one subject that I have been blessed to learn a lot about in a short span of time. A subject that due to my immersion in it have become somewhat of an expert. 

I am a professional business traveler. 

Every year thousands of business men and women travel all around the world to close deals, recruit new clients, spread their company brand and sell their products. There are many different fields and concentrations and each company is a little different in what they allow or will cover in expenses for their "road warriors". But there are some common tips and tricks that everyone who travels for work should know.

I started working for a small private college as a recruiter and within a few weeks was out on the road on my first official business trip. That first trip began with me picking up my first speeding ticket, eating lunch at a gas station while lost in the middle of rural Iowa. All in the first 8 hours. Many lessons were learned the hard way, which I plan to share so that others may not be destined to repeat them. 

I am now blessed to work for a larger institution, traveling all over the country, racking up thousands of airline miles. And so far I have had the opportunity to go to dozens of cities that I never had the chance to visit before.  

For a young business traveler there are many perks as well as pitfalls that come along the way. Hopefully, those of you who travel a lot might pick up a few tips that will help you from getting lost and being overly sleep deprived. With a little time and practice you might really enjoy working away from the office. 

If you don't travel for work but do want to know how to make your next vacation to Disney go a little smoother, follow along.  There is something here for everybody.

If you have any tips or travel advice, please leave a comment below or shoot me an email. The more we collaborate, the easier the traveling gets.

Until next time I am...
