Some unconventional ways I travel: DO: - I use an SOP (standard operating procedure) document, which includes my airline/seat preferences, what time I prefer to fly/land, when to economize and when to splurge, and more - I add 50% to any hotel sticker price — that's the real cost. $500/night = $750 after taxes, tips, meals, treatment. If that number is too high, shorten the trip or stay somewhere cheaper - Every ~10 days of travel, we have one completely unscheduled day - I send a pre-arrival letter to hotels. My wife and I don't really drink so we'd prefer berries instead of a welcome gift of wine DON'T: - We don't book many high-end food reservations. It's just not for us - Eat food on plane (even business class). True luxury is bringing your own food and walking off a plane feeling great - We never book a trip and show up to "see the sights." Each trip has a theme, how we want to feel, and we focus the travel around that. We pin items ahead of time, then we can be spontaneous while we're there, knowing we'll see a few magical things we've already set an intention for - Treat trips as "once in a lifetime." We know if we love it, we can come back I have more specific ways I travel (next tweet)

HOW WE MAKE OUR TRIPS MAGICAL - Cooking classes. In Mexico City, our guide took us to the market, then we all made extra-spicy salsa together. This is a beautiful way to visit places you wouldn't know about and get involved in a tactile activity. Perfect for families and older parents and very inexpensive. - The $325 underwear. We'd been traveling for weeks and needed to do our laundry. Our hotel, Aman Kyoto, would have charged $325 for a small bag of laundry (standard price for all ultra-luxury hotels). I said "NO WAY!!!" and we decided to go into town and find a laundromat. It turned into an adventure (as we stumbled into place after place that wasn't quite right -- one lady translated for us and said, "Are you trying to wash your clothes? This isn't the right place. This place restores kimonos"). We finally found a local laundromat, took our best guess if it would work, and went to lunch. Now this is a fun ritual for us every time we travel. Sometimes cheaper is way more fun - We hire a local photographer. We love our memories of our trips and local photographers know the best spots/time to take photos. Find the best ones on Instagram. In Tokyo, we use the same photographer every year - On complex trips, I work with a travel advisor. I used a larger firm for a 6-week trip across multiple continents, which was invaluable: They helped us navigate different transportation, recommended which safari lodges to visit (and in what order), and even suggested where to economize & where to splurge. Sometimes I know exactly where I want to go so I call a more surgical travel advisor. In the video, he got our NYC hotel triple-upgraded. Or sometimes I just do it myself. TAs are especially helpful for Disney trips, honeymoons, and multi-generational trips. (They also cost you nothing, but you should look into how they work. I find them very valuable) - 1 major activity every two days. The ultimate luxury is time, so we have a rule: 4+ days in any location. We also book 1 major thing (food tour, museum, etc). The rest of the time, we've pinned a bunch of stuff and we wander where we feel like that day - We know exactly what we DON'T want to see. When I'm attending a private tour, I tell them what I want to experience and what I'm not interested in. Most tour guides will take you to the usual hotspots because it's safe and people can say they saw X or ate Y. I know exactly what I want to see. For example, on a coffee tour, I told them the exact kind of beans I wanted to try and what I was not into. People in hospitality love someone who knows what they want!! This level of intentionality means you get to experience magic (it's not rude) I travel several months per year and I want my travel to be incredibly meaningful for my loved ones and me. These are some of the ways I do it If you want to know more, let me know in the comments More details on the next post

Rich people actually don't move when taxes go up You were just fed that propaganda by the ultra wealthy and you actually believed it

When a wealthy man asks his fiancée to sign a prenup, one common response is for her to call it "unromantic" and label him an "asshole" But when a wealthy *woman* asks her fiancé to sign a prenup, HE OFTEN SAYS THE SAME THING! Many gender issues are actually power issues

Stunning to watch cognitive dissonance in front of your eyes. These farmers refuse to blame the Trump tariffs ruining their lives. They blame “acts of God,” they blame his cabinet, they ramble about how difficult they have it… …but they will not blame the 1 person responsible
