Hey guys, this is my very first VLOG!
I thought whilst I was travelling through the U.S. I’d document my trip and share some insights via video.
This relates somewhat to my previous posts here.
In this video I comment on some business travel tips that I’ve personally found useful and I comment on them as they are relevant to this trip.
This trip has seen me travel from New Zealand to Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Chicago, Boston, Burlington, back to Boston, San Francisco then Los Angeles again and finally back home to New Zealand. However, this video just covers the Boston part of the trip as that was when I found the most spare time!
I hope you find this VLOG interesting and useful and, as always, I’d appreciate your feedback.
Take Care,
Alan

You have received a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else send money to buy votes on your post from an irresponsible non-GrumpyCompliant service.
Some bots like @sneaky-ninja (by @michaeldavid) are acting irresponsibly by selling votes on posts very close to final payout. These votes are sneaky, not promotion and are most of the time placed on low value content.
Sending money to these bots is also financially supporting for-profit only posters (spammers).
To know what voting bot to use, refer to https://steembottracker.com/ and use those that have 3.5 day or less in the "Max Age" column.
Important warning, since @sneaky-ninja has made no effort to improve in more than 4 months, it's vote will still be countered even should they improve his Max Age setting.
Learn more, learn even more...
Nice! Excellent tips and very original video. Congrats... I hope to see some others...

Nice!😃🤣
Awesome, looks like you're already off to a good start
i love the way you made this video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks @choiboo, it was a bit of an experiment so I'm glad you liked it!
Nice video I learnt from it ! But I can't keep me from noticing a few thing. You should handle more your security when you're travelling, you're a business man, people can be interested in you or your data. I wrote a few ways to keep your privacy when you're travelling if you want to have a look. We can share our travel tips after !
https://steemit.com/travel/@laazarus/7-steps-ways-to-travel-like-jason-bourne
Thanks @laazarus , some pretty good tips there. Especially the SD card under your watch!
Yes, i experience this one frow a long time, save my butt more than once !
Alan, I've lived in the Boston area for nearly 50 years but I've never experienced it from the perspective of a Kiwi business traveler. Your video is excellent both for the tips you shared on business travel, and on Boston in particular. Resteemed, upvoted, and followed.
I'm amazed that you found time in your busy schedule to experience so much of Boston (and some of Cambridge as well, since MIT is across the river) in such a short time. The Celtics are going strong, having progressed to the next round of the playoffs. It's great that you got to enjoy the TD Garden. I saw that you were close to Fenway Park. Maybe next visit you can take in a Red Sox game, although I don't know how popular baseball is in New Zealand.
The Liberty Hotel is a wonderful boutique hotel in the Back Bay / Beacon Hill section. You correctly sensed that Boston is the ideal walking city, something like San Francisco. The Common and the Charles river bank are ideal spots for your walks and meditation.
I used to travel extensively and understand the need for "chilling out" and to maximize downtime, to recharge your batteries. I'm sure your meetings were successful, largely because of your upbeat attitude.
Come back soon!
Ira
Thanks Ira, Boston is an amazing city. Unfortunately there were no Red Sox home games when I was there. Otherwise I would have gone to a baseball game as well. I did explore Fenway Park though.
My dream would be to run the Boston marathon one day so I'll aim for that!
Where in New Zealand are you from? I've traveled to many countries but never had the chance. Met many Kiwis, especially on cruises. My impression is that it's something like Switzerland, except in the southern hemisphere, and that they are very international minded. Once they get off the islands, they tend to just keep traveling.
My wife and I did an Oceania cruise from Papeete to Lima, stopping in the Pitcairn Islands. They claim to be the remotest spot of land on earth, although there is some competition, such as South Georgia. The population is less than 50, and the entire island came aboard to sell genuine Pitcairn products such as "Welcome to Pitcairn" T shirts made in Nicaragua, as well as wood carvings and honey. Somehow, New Zealand administers the island. This was in 2013. There was one NZ policeman who constituted the entire police force. He came onto the ship. There was some nasty business a few years ago relating to sexual abuse. Somehow I think New Zealand was dragged into it. I don't know all the details.
Running the Boston Marathon is indeed the dream of every runner (from wannabe to world class). This year, the US runners won the men's and women's race, after a drought of nearly 30 years. Kenya and Ethiopia have had the most success recently.
Thank you for sharing a very well structured and complete visual anecdote of your business trip; although, as you say, it's your first such presentation, it looks almost professional. At least, to me. It's enjoyable that you allow those of us who, like me, have never set foot in Boston, a look at its sights, sounds, and people. Your tips, that you manage to blend in with those sights, are a good bonus; the most interesting for me was the first one - where you mention exercise and meditation as a means to get a good start into your day. What I don't have a clue about is, who the heck is holding the camera when you're outdoors? Thanks for the share.
Thanks @jorgemartin for the positive feedback. Running and meditating in public parks etc are my favourite ways to explore a new place (along with visiting food markets). In my view it's much better than travelling around by taxi or taking guided tours etc.
By the way, I use a portable tripod for the camera which I carry in a backpack while running.
Greetings, nalabra! Best wish to you for make many new friends here on Steemit! All the Best
