What most of us forget however, is to eat healthy while on the plane ride to our destination!

Bringing an assortment of healthy snacks will help you feel good while you are soaring at 39,000 feet above the ground!

Here are my favorite Snacks to bring on the plane.Some type of fresh Cut up VegetablesYES, you can bring veggies on the plane.

Follow these three main rules and you will be fine:Do not include a core, or seeds.

They are the perfect Plane ride snack.

They take awhile to chew on, which is nice for long haul flights, as it helps pass time and keeps your mouth and tastebuds entertained.

If you fail, keep on truckin’.If only I got a dollar for every time I heard about numerous fails before success this weekend!

I listened to so many stories, and they all seemed to have a similar important lesson to learn; if you fall ten times-get back up eleven!

A lot of people also seemed to have switched from one Digital Nomad career to another, because they found something else that suited them better.

Do not follow a crowd and repeat the same story.

What are your passions and skills?

Spend heaps of time with a salesperson, and learn to love the process of selling.

We all have times in our lives where we lose our motivation, and fall off the “health and fitness wagon”.

Personal matters and genuine issues get in the way and we let that kill our motivation.

You are human, this is life.

The real problem here is the ENDLESS excuses used to prolong this period before getting back on.

The fitness industry has become so “Rah rah” and intense, which can be great when you are in the zone… but sometimes that doesn’t allow moments for us to sit in stillness, reflect and feel what it is that was causing us to stop our motivation in the first place.Whatever is bothering you, just know that working out will make you feel happier.When you are exercising, your brain releases feel good chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine, and an endorphin rush.

Personally, I feel this is a selfish thought pattern.

Working with clients in the technology training and IT fields often leads to some interesting conversations regarding technology trends and where they are headed over the next few years.

They are labor intensive, and need constant monitoring to balance overhead expenses as upgrades are rolled out.Effectively managing overhead costs is one of the most important processes that company needs to embrace if they want to remain competitive in an ever changing economic climate.

Any system that has less moving parts requires less maintenance and that means that IT staff sizes will reduce.

The need for IT desktop support will also diminish as the implementation of new software becomes seamless through cloud interfaces.

There are also the additional costs of continued help desk and desk-side support calls that will come from the end-users of the system regarding software issues or just general questions.

Mainly how it can be integrated into an existing infrastructure while maintaining security and deceasing maintenance costs.Additional cost savings could have been passed on to the Municipality by moving to a subscription based cloud model rather than the traditional licensing model.

Sometimes it is the smallest tip that makes the biggest difference to a brand new computer user who is just starting to use Microsoft Office for the first time.One feature that I notice is very confusing (and honestly, borderline annoying) is the way the Mini Toolbar pops up whenever text is selected.It is designed to be helpful, providing quick access to your formatting tools so you don’t have to move your cursor up to the Home Ribbon to change basic formatting settings like the font size or font colour.However, the Mini Toolbar tends to get in the way more than anything.As we work with students and show them how a right-click on selected text opens up both the Mini Toolbar and the More Options menu, they start to say: “I wish I could just turn off the Mini Toolbar when selecting text.”Well you can!In Microsoft Word 2016, click on File > Options.

In the General section, look in the User Interface options.

You will find a checkbox for “Show Mini Toolbar on selection.”Remove the check mark from the checkbox so the box is empty.You will now only see the Mini Toolbar when you right click on selected text!I hope you find that tip helpful.– Kelly Marshall, Senior Microsoft Instructor, Q College and Q AcademyTo learn more tips and tricks for Microsoft Word, consider taking a Microsoft Word course with Q Academy.

Where did you get it?”Compliments go so far with everyone.

That positive feeling stays with you for a long time.

If you see people congregated around the hostel lobby, ask them what they are planning on doing that day.

Most of the time those places will be coffee shops, a cute cafe, awesome co-working spaces, and funky cafes that you discover along your journey!There is one café that, in all of my travels, stands out from ALL the cafes I’ve ever been to (trust me, that is a LOT of Cafes!).

You get more than just delicious (actually its amazing- smooth Brazilian beans) coffee and great food when you go to “Imagine Studio Café”.

You can almost feel the good vibes and energy when you step inside as the lovely staff greets your arrival.

The decor is very charming and gives you a sense of warmth and zen.

The seats are comfortable, and of course, the Wi-Fi is top notch!The storyWhen I met the owner of this lovely cafe, Dorothy Morrison, and asked her a few questions about Imagine, I was completely “wowed” and in AWE by her love and passion for the community.

With a background in Community Development and Intercultural Communications, as well as a passion to help others, her face absolutely lit up as she shared her love for people and helping them recognize their abilities.

To help prepare you for your own adventures when you, yourself, set sail and discover!Get a Data Plan, right in the airport!This saved me BIG TIME.

Even though I was only in London, England for a few days, I decided to get a good data plan.

I am ever so grateful to have the opportunity to stay with them, but now thinking from a digital nomad’s perspective-I either had to bring my computer on the tube on odd hours to find a wifi cafe- or hotspot from my phone!

Getting the data plan enabled me to use the hotspot from my phone to my laptop, so I could work from the comfort of where I was staying, thus, enabling me for more time to explore London!

A Win-Win!Have all your electronics- Especially your computer charged up!This saved my life, seriously.

I realized that the adapter I had for the UK was not for a 3 pin grounded power cord, which was what my Mac Air needs!

I’m Julie, The Fit Gypsy.

I am a passionate health enthusiast who is now living the Digital Nomad lifestyle!That means that I work remotely from my computer while traveling this beautiful world that we live in!How it all came to be:I have worked various exciting jobs and careers up until now, including running my own fitness business for nearly 13 years.

I loved working with people and transforming their lives to be healthier and happier.

As much as I am grateful for that experience, every single client and job had me needing to be there in person, which was not allowing me to do the thing I absolutely love-Travel!I would save up my money, then travel for long periods of time with a specific budget, limiting me to certain activities and having to live the “hostel life” to save money.

Every single time!The last adventure I went on, (New Zealand, Australia, Bali, Vietnam) got me really thinking… How do I continue traveling WHILE making money.

Where I do not have to take on little traveling jobs such as picking fruit near deadly spiders, or bartending for peanuts in South East Asian countries.I noticed people working from their computers in every single coffee shop I would stop in (trust me, that’s a LOT of coffee shops!)

We all know the feeling, we plan to start our day with more productivity.. then something happens and we lose focus.

It is true that using a smartphone or laptop does help you write lists down quicker.

In fact, taking notes on your computer may be detrimental to learning!Go buy yourself a nice notepad and pen, and make it your official note taking device.

Knock it out of your way so that it is not breathing down your neck for the rest of the day.

So while thinking you are getting more done, you are actually slowing yourself down.Having 5 unfinished tasks is not as productive as one well-completed task, so slow down and concentrate on one thing at a time!Work Smarter, Not HarderKnow when to take a break.
