On of my favorite alternatives to the hotel gym when I’m on a business trip is renting a bicycle. I’ve ridden along the lakefront in Chicago, through the busy streets of Amsterdam and Munich and, most recently, across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco to Sausalito. I shot the photo...

I was in San Francisco on business earlier this week. It is truly one of my favorite destinations and I’m always happy whether in the city for business or pleasure. I was facilitating the BeDo Intra 09 conference held at the Fort Mason Center so I found myself staying in the Fisherman’s...

There’s no time to be in Washington, DC like August — hot, humid, and, well, hot and humid. But business calls when it does and so I was off to the nation’s capital earlier this week. I was sorry to see that several restaurants where I’d enjoyed fine meals — Butterfield...

“Trains and Vans May Beat Taxis to the Airport” proclaims the New York Times. Executive Nomad fans have long known that the savvy traveler knows the most trouble-free way to get to their flight. In London, there is nothing quite as wonderful as the Heathrow Express. In Washington, you can...

On the way home, I settled into a window seat in the quiet car (by accident, truth be told) with a sumptuous, yet economical, picnic of sorts from Pret a Manger.  New York City was far behind us as dusk settled in an a...

It’s easy to put on a few pounds when you travel a lot. Those big hotel breakfasts, a lunch meeting, another meeting over dinner — even if you are dedicated in using the hotel gym, the calories add up. The New York Times‘ Mark Bittman has a plan in his new book, Food Matters: A Guide...

A great way to discover local culinary treats when you travel is to check out  local chapters of Slow Food when you make your plans. There are lots of events and one just might be scheduled when you are in town. If you are traveling alone, it will make for an interesting evening and you can meet some...
