For a lot of women, fixing their hair is the most time-consuming grooming task of their day. Between washing, blow drying, and styling, it’s easy to spend a good 30 minutes each morning just on hair. My curly hair dries out if washed every day, so at least that saves me a little time. Even…
Occasionally I look back fondly at my first couple of years as a business traveler (over a decade ago, hard to believe). Upgrades were plentiful, you could easily hop on an earlier flight, and there was plenty of room for carry-ons. Alas, things have changed. These days flying standby is almost unheard of and getting…

There’s not much more frustrating on a business trip than rushing through airport security to make a conference call, sitting down to dial in, and realizing your phone is about to die. Whatever the reason—a low performing battery, lack of plug availability, or missing a plug converter in a foreign country—device charging is something business…
A lot goes into choosing a hotel for business travel, and safety is frequently a top concern. You may think once you’re in your room you can let down your guard, but unfortunately that’s not always the case. Some reports have come out of the Black Hat and Def Con conferences that attendees staying at…
What suitcases do I have the most experience with, and out of those which are my favorite? Reader B asks…. Hi RW! You talk a lot about suitcases and how choosing the right one is so important. I need a new suitcase soon so I wanted to ask you which suitcases you have used, and…
