June was an especially inspiring and exciting month for Connected Women’s meetups as they held the biggest edition of this event last June 27 in 15 cities across four countries (Philippines, Singapore, Pakistan, and the UK). These cities were Baguio, Bohol, Cavite, Cagayan De Oro, Cebu, Iloilo, Lahore, Makati, Pampanga, Pagadian, Pasig, Quezon City, Singapore, and London. An estimated more than 350 women were able to form new communities, share stories, and learn more about entrepreneurship and freelancing that night.

Most of us wish we had more than 24 hours in a day. It could be that you have way too much on your plate. Yet, more often than not, it's a matter of "unconscious planning" in order to do proper time management.

Instead of the usual traveling light tips and ideas, here are a few tips upon landing in a new location.

When I was very young, about three years old, my Mom was sent to attend training sessions in other countries and all over the Philippines. Basically, it was my Dad who took care care of me then. I can also recall spending time with my Lolo and Lola in San Pablo City whenever my Dad needed to work and someone had to take care of me.
