Yet, many organizations find themselves stuck in the rut of conventional travel and expense (T&E) programs, oblivious to the untapped potential to streamline and optimize their T&E systems and processes.In this episode of the SAP Concur Conversations podcast, Meysam Foroughi, Senior Travel & Expense specialist at Roku, shares how he simplified and optimized Roku's T&E program by harnessing a growth mindset, and why he believes “we've always done it this way” is the single most dangerous phrase for organizations.

In this episode, Ken and Gisele share their experience traveling to Ibiza, Spain. There are fixed taxi rates to the airport, so uber and lyft weren't as present for port transportion after they got off the Viking Jupiter.  They enjoyed the priority pass lounge at the airport before flying to Ibiza. They went to the hippy market which had great people watching. They met Maggie Steffens, an olympic water polo player and she recommended a family-owned restuarant that was fantastic: https://en.welcometoibiza.com/restaurants/Bar-anita-ca-nanneta/ More restaurants we loved! https://www.bambuddha.com/ https://www.restauranteesventall.com/index_en.html https://restaurantcanrafalet.com/en/home https://nakedground.coffee/ Viking Jupiter  Tip of the day: Do your research on airbnb hosts to make sure it is not a shared space if you don't want to share a bathroom.

In this episode, Ken and Gisele share their experience in Barcelona, Spain. They had a complementary coach tour through the city, which they like to call a drive by tour. They've been to Barcelona a lot, so this tour was good to see a lot in a short amount of time. The Viking stop in Barcelona was a little odd because they landed there and THEN departed the next day. They visited restaurants that were open and discussed some great must-see spots such as the Sagrada Familia (get tickets obvioulsy!). Think about when you go as there are cool things to consider in terms of sunlight coming in through the windows at different times of the day. Viking Jupiter  Tip of the day: Ken's tip is that since 70% of flights are booked for summer 2023, you ought to book flights sooner rather than later - prices are not likely to come down folks!

In this episode, Ken and Gisele share their experience at sea on the Viking Jupiter as they sail from Recife, Brazil to Africa. They took a 5-hour Viking walking tour in Recife, Bazil which included an island, vistas of the city, 1-2 miles of walking.

They crossed the equator and made a big deal about pollywags (those that have not yet crossed the equator).  Viking Jupiter  Tip of the day: Rainjackets and water pants are a must.

“A healthy habit is a great habit in general, but it’s even better when you can use it in your work.”—Tracey Minkin Great Escape Radio Host, Jody Maberry brings Tracey Minkin, the Senior Travel and Features Editor for Coastal Living back to the podcast broadcasting live from the Ultimate Travel Writer’s Workshop in Austin, Texas. You can listen to the previous episode with her here. This week, Jody and Tracy are talking about some of the daily practices for travel writing. Jody asks Tracy to share some of the things new writers can do to change their mindset and begin thinking like a travel writer. “The thing I need to do the most hour after hour…place after place…morning, noon and night is harvest really good details. I need to be on constant prowl for specifics… about landscapes… people… how things sound… the smells… the color of the sea—a really big deal for us at Coastal Living!” The key to bringing those details to your writing is to note them while you’re in the moment. Days… even hours later, you won’t easily recall specific details of a place or experience. Tracy shares with us five easy mental exercises to employ in our daily lives. Following these exercises will help us build habits that will be effective in making our notes…and subsequently, our articles really strong.

“It’s very hard to get the essence of a place just by looking at it… you have to talk to people.”—Tracy Minkin Great Escape Radio Host, Jody Maberry talks with Tracy Minkin, the Senior Travel and Features Editor of Coastal Living, live from the Ultimate Travel Writer’s Workshop in Austin, Texas. Tracy’s a great conversationalist, which was proven when she won a conversation competition in high school—a title that came with a $1,000 prize! Her inherent conversation skills have served her well… “Loving to chit chat, hangout with locals and hear their stories is what makes travel writing better…and it makes it super fun!” By nature, most journalists are curious and anxious to talk to people. As Tracy says, “We’re nosey!” But what if you’re shy about opening up a conversation with a stranger? Tracy suggests hiring a local guide. “When you hire a local guide, you not only gain unique insights into a place, you also support the local economy.” Listen in as Tracy and Jody discuss some of the interesting stories they’ve gathered from starting conversations with strangers. You’ll also get more tips on how to use these conversations in your writing.
