Best kept travel Beauty tips revealed

Best kept travel Beauty tips revealed | South Africa | One of the things that I enjoy the most while travelling around the world, more than the experiences is the global learning process over multiple subjects. Learning and educating myself over this matters, right from the source, it is priceless. Beauty, health and skin-care, are not an exception at all, and I am an addict of new tips and treatments, especially since I have become inmune to Botox, ha ha ha sad right, and age is setting over me. The othe day an Editor for a very well know LGBT publication asked me … Carlos have you found the fountain of youth… Of course he was miles away chatting on his laptop without seeing me face to face, addressing to some of the photos on the article that DNA Magazine recently ran on me. I replied to him, the key is to have a great relationship withthe Editor and Art Director of the Magazines, so they make sure that the photoshop looks amazing and all your body part are back in place.

FREE WiFi for everyone a lesson to be learnt by Hotels Worldwide

FREE WiFi for everyone a lesson to be learnt by Hotels worldwide | New York, United States | More and more hotels across the world are becoming more savvy and proficient in the use of Social Media and Social Applications. The big question that always raises to this still brand new technology, which many pretend to master, but only a few truly understand, is how to measure the ROI – return on investment. As I travel the world, staying at all types of hotels, I have had multiple experiences with the internet service, which most of the time can be very annoying, where hotels yet don’t understand that internet is one of the top features guests will take into consideration, at the moment of booking their stay. The worst examples during last year travels, were hotels in London, UK and Jaipur, India, where I was shocked with my bill upon check out with charges over USD 40 x day for a lousy crappy connection that would take me over 10 minutes to upload a single photo. On top of that, most hotels do not offer the Multi Device Connection platforms, and travelers like me, we need to at least to connect three devices, such as Laptop, iPhone and iPad, meaning three times the charges. The recently open cutting edge and modern Yotel in New York City, has grasped this concept and finally proved that what I have been telling hotels for the last two years, was indeed a great idea, first and for most to please customers, and second, to self promote their properties and services making use of the different techniques on online advertising and viral effects.

GPS Carlos Melia at Yotel New York City

GPS Carlos Melia at Yotel New York City | New York, United States | Just Checked IN at my Premium Cabin at Yotel New York. I am fully fascinated by the concept and style of this hotel. Luxury cabins with full five-star services, avant-garde design and technology, a great location for a very affordable price. Where Mission Control is their version of a Concierge Desk, fully automated Check IN, a robot that stores your luggage and a real Dohyo is the restaurant and bar. I will be posting more upon departure, but I wanted to share this with you all, since I found it to be the coolest affordable hotel option in New York City. where you won’t jeopardize quality and service for price.

If there is a way to describe it is… full class, welcoming, happening, fashionable and chic. 1927 landmark building at the corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue. Designed by Jacques Grange and with impeccable service under the perfectionist eye of luxury hotel manager Olivier Lordonnois, The Mark combines old-world comfort, avant-garde design, the latest technologies and an unprecedented level of personal service to create the finest five-star hotel of the 21st-century. I have been in New York for over seven years, and I must say that I always stick to the same hotel preferences, although The Mark is not just a hotel, it is a whole experience of great taste and class.

Travel Agent Central quotes Carlos Melia about Thailand

Travel Agent Central quotes Carlos Melia about Thailand | Travel Agent Central | On their recent travel update about Bangkok, Thailand, by Meagan Drillinger, they published the article “Bangkok is Back” including a few quotes on my own travel experiences during my two month of travel in Thailand, just at the same time that the floods were affecting some areas of the country. “I left Bangkok a few days ago, and I am happy to say that the city has gone back to the normal mode. Travelers are back, hotels and restaurants are looking crowded again, and the streets of Bangkok don’t show the sand bags that we have seen over the last few weeks. Bangkok is DRY and SAFE.” shared Carlos Melia
