Want to Buy a Hotel in Portugal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of travelers and remote workers dream of owning their own B&B or boutique hotel. Just finding the listings can be daunting though, so it\u2019s nice to see this site for Portugal simply called Buythathotel.com<\/a>. It finds, curates and summarizes listings, in English, with prices listed from 625,000 euros to a few million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher Costs for Airline Reward Travel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you feel like you need a lot more points these days to book that flight on Delta or United, it\u2019s not your imagination. This <\/a>Travel Weekly<\/a><\/em> article<\/a> highlights a new study showing that costs in points have gone up 28% since 2019. I just booked a one-way ticket from the USA to Mexico on American Airlines for 8,000 points though and it turns out their points are the most valuable. Southwest\u2019s are next and the value is higher if you are checking a bag. Get a huge bank of points with the credit cards from Southwest<\/a> (50K) or American<\/a> (70K).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, the city just handed lots of business to New Jersey towns across the river<\/a>. \u201cJersey City has seen demand rise 77 percent year-over-year as of mid-February, according to AirDNA, while in Weehawken and Hoboken demand has increased 45 and 32 percent, respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winning and Losing Cities in the War for Talent<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that so many remote workers can live anywhere they want\u2014and pick up and leave if a place disappoints them\u2014how well are international big cities competing? This fascinating Fast Company<\/a><\/em> article<\/a> breaks down stats to reveal which cities are luring knowledge workers, which are losing them, and which are stagnant. (Good retention in Toronto and Melbourne, quick goodbyes in Dublin and Dubai.) It also looks at factors these residents value the most. Cleanliness, safety, and housing beat out medical care and quality of government services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
