If you happen to find yourself planning a business trip or a much needed vacation, now or sometime into the future, there are a few tips and tricks that I can share with all of you to ensure your hotel room and hotel experience overall meets your expectations and if you’re lucky maybe even surpasses them.

The home of four years was home no more and the feeling of bitterness as a result has felt quite overwhelming with the moving process being deeply traumatizing. A shockingly steep increase in rent paired with painfully slow pandemic recovery, increased cost of living courtesy of record high inflation and a few unfortunate events has severely limited the number of options available to me and my best friend.
