  • Business Trips

    Here, I tell you about the business trips .. those trips have really a unique nature ..

    It's the one day trips to other countries  that sometimes 5 hours away and you still do it in the same day as if you just going to another city for a meeting - you wake up, fly, land, meet meet meet, take off, land and sleep :)

    It's the tripsthat we can have three of them in the same exact week .. 

    It's the tripsthat give you an outstanding moment with your employer as you get recognized ..

    It's the tripsthat give you a joyful moment with your employer as they reward their own people with new experiences, relaxing moments and trips to charge them up ..

    It's the tripsin which we enjoy the most meeting new people whether we are meeting an end customer and/or business partners, honestly just being in front an organization speaking and talking technology it's a real joy for me, sometimes because we are doing and executing the most important part of the business, sometimes because the discussions are really fruitful and enjoyable with informative exchange, sometimes because just being in front of an organization talking, speaking, discussing about the work you love and have passion for can take you away the most depressing moments that you might have at different stages of your life .. and SOMETIMES IT'S ALL OF THAT .. 

    AND,that's what you gonna find here .. :) all the different types of business trips with various employers. HERE, you will read about the trips, the destination, the experience, the people, -- that's really a big number of business trips, so here's the list that I have added and hopefully I keep adding the rest soon and as I go in life ..

  • Road Trips

    This type of the trips, it's the most favorite one for me and my family and friends and we have to do it at least a couple of times every year .. 

    I just land somewhere by myself or with my partner in crimes, rent a car and go on a road trip for 10+ days where I discover hidden gems, really see the country/place with a different eye till I reach a destination I use to take off and go back home!

    Sometimes, it's really well planned and organized - we know exactly which countries, which cities, which hotels and which activities we do .. 

    and MOST OF THE TIME, iIT's PLAN AS YOU GO .. :) we just land decide on the landing and departing countries with specific dates and every thing in the middle as we go .. on every single day, we decide the next city, the next hotel booking, the next activity, and THAT"s AMAZING .. that really makes us discover a lot of interesting stuff that no one usually see, have different experience and adapt to many situations that can be really nice or can be disastrous and you have to deal with it :) 

    As most of the trips are really intense, have minimal levels of rest and sleep, the usually feeling we have that OK now we finish, now we need to have an actual vacation .. :) and with experience we learnt to make it exactly that way .. we start with the intense adventurous road trip across countries for 10-15 days, then we have the relaxing trip for 3-5 days to recover :)

    Here, in this part I document the trips, the route, the experience, the people, the joy, the pressure, the nice moments and the CRAZY ONES, I have really big number of road trips, so here's the list that I have added and hopefully I keep adding the rest .. 

  • Seychelles Trip

    WHERE RELAXATION AND CHILLING OUT IS THE NORM

  • South Africa Trip

  • Travel

    I travel almost 70% of my time or more ..

    Yes more than 70% I am onboard an airplane going somewhere for business, pleasure, amazing adventure or just for a meditation and relaxation.

    More than 70% that represents a big portion of my time and definitely I have to try to make the best use of it, understanding cultures, discovering new things, meeting people and do my best to enjoy every business meeting I am doing .. 

    My travel usually is one of three things, first is my favorite thing to do ever, - Road Trips, I just land somewhere by myself or with my partner in crimes, rent a car and go on a road trip for 10+ days where I discover hidden gems, really see the country/place with a different eye till I reach a destination I use to take off and go back home!

    Second type of travel I do is Touristic Personal Trips, usually that's the relaxing or touristic type of travel for myself and my family, not that intense and adventure-driven type like Road trips but in this type we do what simply people do .. chilling out, enjoying sights, have nice local meals ..etc

    Third type you have to guess of course!! YES IT's THE BUSINESS TRIPS, and despite of the fact I manage a wide and diverse region like Middle East and Africa that sometimes you have to be on airplane for 14 hours to reach your destination in Africa, still 80% of the trips are 1-3 days, it's that type of quick trips .. land, meet meet meet, run to catch your airplane and jump into your bed before your wife wakes up and gave you that lovely look :) 

    Here, in this part I document the trips, the experience, the people, the joy, the pressure, the crazy time flying, but I promise you will find very interesting stuff that you can get use of.. 

  • Trips

    Do you remember when I told you in the Road Trips category that after the crazy adventurous road trips, we had by time to plan the relaxing trip directly after the intense road trip :) .. 

    OK,that's what you gonna find here .. :) the nice relaxing trips, the touristic ones that planned on its own or directly after an intense road trip for having some relaxing time and nice touristic normal stuff so we recover before going back home .. 

    Usually doing touristic trips are exhausting in nature .. but for us it's not really the case! after all the crazy and intense times of road trips, when we have that touristic trips it's just like OK WE ARE SO SLOW .. and it becomes the relaxing time for us :) 

    Those Touristic Trips, sometimes, it's really well planned and organized especially if it's associated with a well organized and planned road trip or it's a standalone trip for few days but MOST OF THE TIME, IT's PLAN AS YOU GO .. :) we just pick a country or a place and directly after we finish the road trip, we simply travel to that destination and we take it from there step by step day by day .. 

    Here, in this part I document the trips, the destination, the experience, the people, the joy, the pressure, the nice moments and the CRAZY ONES, I have really big number of touristic trips, so here's the list that I have added and hopefully I keep adding the rest ..
