Still have choppy audio this week.
Yes, I noticed this as well. Figuring it out might be a challenge. Is it her setup, her link to the www, her microphone, or the host?
Thanks, I know. I have since fixed the mic. Thanks for your support and patience!
choppy audio but smooth delivery!
@@DaveG-qd6ug Ha - thanks Dave!
It’s terrible
We do food tours in every new international city we visit. It’s a great way to actually tour the city, learn history etc., and have some great food. I use TripAdvisor to find those tours. We’ve been super happy with our experiences.
I love food tours!
Yes! Food tours are the best.
Thanks for all the good information. I didn't know Google had so many features. One story about OTAs. I went to an event in Cleveland a few weeks ago. One of the participants had to cancel because while trying to check in to her flight, she found out that somehow her flight booking was cancelled, but not the hotel reservation. By then, it was too late, and she lost the first night stay at the hotel. She spent several hours on the phone with the OTA and still did not find out how her arrangements were so messed up. I think I'll stick to the carrier's or hotel's websites.
Oh dear that sounds terrible! I'm a big fan of direct booking.
LOVE the ‘Find Me Gluten Free’ app for restaurants. Even if you’re not gluten free it has found us fantastic restaurants a few blocks away from touristy places at much lower prices.
Great app suggestion!
Super channel Nora, thank you from a traveler who has on average 60 flights per year. Surprised you don't have 500000 subscribers at least. Good job, have listened to many of you videos since my discovery....
Thank you! 😃
Hola from Cuenca, Ecuador. Do visit the Cabot Trail..My hometown is Cheticamp on the west coast.
Awesome! Yes, Cabot Trail is definitely on my list!
As always, great content. I love the google maps tip! I never knew about the save feature and will be using that a lot.
Thanks Grace! It's fantastic. Glad you now know about it!
Love TripIt! I use it for local events, e.g. concerts. And I can get my tickets on TripIt without WiFi. 😊
That's a great idea!
@@NoraDunn in fact, I have electric copies of my passport, International Drivers License, and US Drivers license there. That way, I can access them from any web enabled device.
Great video again, thanks. This video has some audio glitches - not sure if it's on our end though, could be. But we could still hear everything okay despite that.
Sorry about that - yes, I had a mic problem that I have since fixed. Thanks for your patience!
Merci ,
Nice to meet you, Nora! Very useful tips from you. Regarding travel app, I recently tested Stippl, Lambus, Funliday and Wanderlog. And in my opinion the "Oscar" goes to Wanderlog!!
Thanks for sharing! Just the other day I was introduced to Wanderlog, which looks pretty cool! What do you love about it?
@@NoraDunn I like the smart way this app Wanderlog is built giving us all the tools we need to plan a trip with a great itinerary feature, where you can insert all the stops for each day and it makes the directions and optimize schedule. The app has also budget control in several currencies and IA onboard. It is a really great app to dig in from Zero and search for points of interests, etc, as well as organize the entire travel.
Nora Dunn, You're fantastic! Let's be friends and have fun!
I am so glad your channel has so many subs. You desrve it!
Aw, thanks Mia!
Fully agree. Nora is the Energizer Bunny of the entire remote work and travel niche. Big love from Palawan, Nora!
@@hobospeaks Ha ha! I like it :-)
I definitely need to look into one of these apps, I'm that guy who was relying on the search feature in gmail to locate the myriad of confirmation messages for flights, hotels, etc. 🤣
Right?? I've done that soooo many times - ha ha!
For our recent trip to Italy, I used Tripit but I also saved all of our confirmation emails in separate subfolders within my Gmail inbox, for flights, hotels, tours, train trips and other receipts, as backup.
First of all thank you for ALL your travel videos. Great talent!
Nora we would like to know from you the following please:
Will we lose our Canadian citizenship and O.H.I.P. benefits if we live outside Canada for over a year?
Could we possibly live abroad for over 6 months every year? If, yes...will our CPP, O.A.S. pension, and income taxes be affected by the same?
Is there something that you feel we should know about retiring abroad for a period of 6 months every year or over?
Thank you for your time Nora!
Hi Fernando!
You will never lose your Canadian citizenship unless you revoke it.
However in order to keep your OHIP you need to be present in Ontario for at least 153 days in any 12-month period. This means yes, you can travel for 6 months each year. Happy travels!
@@NoraDunn By having to return to Canada every 6 months I feel as if I am in an open prison because my freedom to travel only lasts 6 months out of the year. There has to be a better way. Thanks.
@@fernandomofreita79 You can travel for longer - you just lose OHIP. In that case you can get international travel health insurance. I did it for over a decade.
@@NoraDunn Thank you kindly.
@@NoraDunn Thank you once again Nora.
Just in case you are in Madeira, and see Cristiano Ronaldo on the street say "hello" to him for me.
Stay healthy, and safe always!
What Voltage Converter do you use?
I don't bring any items the require a voltage converter. Most electronics can handle 110-240V.
I have the booking app and it looks much different than your layout do you know why that is?
I'm not Nora, but I am a professional web developer and have some possible answers.
The most likely is that your device is a different size. Well designed apps have different layouts at different sizes, so the font size, buttons and images are never too big or too small. I'f you've ever looked at a web page on your phone with teeny tiny type (or a page you view on your PC has giant type), it's because the web designer didn't take this into account, and you're seeing a layout that was designed for a different device.
Another reason is that the app was updated, and the newer version has a different layout than the old. It's common to change background colors, button locations, menu names ...
Sometimes the developers need to create completely different apps for different platforms, say iOS vs Android. This can also affect the layout.
In all cases except maybe the last, the features and functions should be the same in all layouts.
Maybe it’s the phone? Also I have mine set in dark mode.
You need new audio recording device, it is constantly crackling, ugh.
Thank you for letting me know. My microphone developed a defect that I have sense fixed. Thanks for your kind patience.
