Review: Sony SmartWatch 3 [2017]

Is it worth it to purchase Sony Smartwatch 3? We should ask first if any smart wear is worth it? All of the smart wear functionalities are limited, the answer is relative to what you need. For the past 3 days, my only smart wear was the Fitbit Charge HR (author’s note: yes, FitBit is…

Living and Working Remotely from Italy: When You are Both in Heaven and Hell

We’ve been finding excuses to come to Italy pretty often since 2012. I am a sucker for the warm weather and good food. And Italy, particularly Puglia, has them both.

Fees That Can Quickly Increase Your Vacation’s Price

We love to go on trips and take vacation time to explore the world. We usually rejoice once we are done with booking the flight and accommodation. Those are the biggest expenses, which suck up most of the budget. But have you stopped to think (and calculate) how much the other fees add up to…

Every single article about saving money on travel says something about “using a hub city” or “flying into a hub city”. But what exactly are these travel hubs and how can they help us save money on travel?

Best Wines to Try in Central-Eastern Europe

I don’t consider myself to be a foodie or a wine connoisseur, but when I find myself planning a trip to one of the well-known wine regions of Central-Eastern Europe you bet I’m going to sample the local varieties. Personally, I like medium-bodied whites, while Alex is a fan of full-bodied reds. Together, we make…
