Ms. Biz Top Ten Travel Tips
making life easier for the female exec...

6Ms. Biz snack packs...
Crackers and biscuits can be popped into a ziplock bag and packed alongside those files you’re working on. Each of the snacks listed below are worth no more than 50 calories and can be a great help during the night when you get the munchies in your hotel room.

2 Triscuits
2 Arrowroot
2 Graham Crackers
3 Ritz Crackers
5 animal crackers
1 fig bar or....
1 Oreo for that “chocolate or nothing” craving.

 

7Culturally Correct Ms. Biz...
Research your destination. Many times business etiquette that works at home, doesn’t when you’re away. Did you know that in Korea, the highest ranked businessperson, whether female or male, is expected to enter and exit a meeting-room first?

 

8Pregnant Ms. Biz...
Make sure you have adequate health insurance coverage even if you plan to be out of the country only for a few hours. Working “moms-to-be” would be wise to check their policies very, very carefully. For example, did you know that many companies don't automatically cover pregnancy-related conditions or nursery care for premature infants? P.S. Did you know that now you can buy travel coverage directly from the internet. Check Liberty Health’s Per Trip travel plan and choose the coverage you need based on the length of your particular trip.

 

9Working Abroad...
The International Jobs Directory is a book that is absolutely stuffed with information for any woman interested in short-term or long-term employment abroad. From teaching to working in the fields of publishing, media and travel industries, this 324 page research tool has it all.
P.S. It also lists 100’s of web sites to explore. Definitely worth a look at your library or local bookstore. Impact Publications. ISBN 1-57023-086-2

 

10Biz-friendly hotel in Canada...
Extra points for smart thinking go to the Executive Plaza in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Females who check into this hotel can now enjoy a woman-only fitness club right on the premises. Ms. Biz is very impressed! For further information call: Toll-free 1-888-388- EXEC
