š Your Friday travel dispatch is here! This week we have:
1. A conference cruise from Canada to Japan
2. A reason to download the app for a travel industry giant
Anyone who has seen āThe Proposalā should know what Sitka, Alaska looks likeā¦
Counterclockwise at sea
What: The Transpacific Nomad Cruise, gathers more than 300 digital nomads and remote workers for a unique nomad summit at sea.
Why: Combining conference learning and networking with a cruise holiday featuring stops on the Pacific coast sounds pretty compelling.
Where: Canada - Alaska - Japan
Duration: 13 days
When: September 29 - October 13, 2024
Price: Starting at ā¬2000
What catches our eye:
Unique route with departure from Vancouver and stops in Sitka and Kodiak in Alaska, and Kushiro and Yokohama in Japan.
A jam-packed schedule with workshops, talks, entertainment nd networking.
A milestone you can claim in āfunny facts about meā battles (I crossed the Pacific Ocean!)
Bonus: did you like the movie āThe Proposalā? Go and experience parts of it for yourself.
Dear app, please give me lower prices
What: Booking.com, requires no introduction, but did you know on their app (and sometimes on mobile browsers) you can get lower prices?
Why: Because we need to learn to game the system to keep our costs low.
Price: Free; simply sign in if you have an account (which we recommend, especially with the Genius program offering significant discounts).
What catches our eye: Offers (freebies, not just prices) might differ between web and mobile, so itās wise to check both carefully. Prices can sometimes be significantly lower on the app, and the experience of managing your bookings is much better as well.
Question for you: Does anyone have recommendations for Madeira, Portugal? Any hidden gems are welcome!
See you next week,
