Tired of the Long Distance Romance? Find a Great Apartment with These Tips

Posted by David Brownley in Relationships

Long distance relationships can seem quite interesting in the beginning of the romance. However, as time goes on and the distance takes its toll, the idea of moving closer to the one you love becomes apparent. When searching for an apartment that is in an unfamiliar location it is very important that you conduct the necessary research to make sure that the new rental property is up to code. Looking into factors such as the building's epc commercial certification and included luxuries is all a part of the process to moving into your new place. Before beginning your search, you and your significant other should sit down and consider what's important, what is preferred, and what is off limits.

Sell Your House and Start Traveling

Posted by David Brownley in Travel

So your life's dream is to travel the world?

What's stopping you?

I once had a friend say, " So what, I should just sell my house for cash and travel the world?" Nice idea, but in practice that would be crazy.

Here's Why!

There is no reason to think that you can't just get up and go. Sure you have responsibilities and people who love you and jobs and everything else that comes as an excuse for not living your dreams. The ability to live your dream is something that is eventually crushed out of us as we grow older. We keep telling ourselves that we will eventually get enough money so we can do whatever we want.

The problem with this assumption? It almost never happens. And even if you do reach the ripe old age of retirement, many people have physical, monetary or family situations that make it impossible. So… Read More

Posted by David Brownley in Sports

Buying a house to raise and nurture a family takes hard work and dedication.

Activities are required to keep you and your family happy and maintain a quality environment for your children. When house buying or selling there is a point where memories will be created, and in order to create these memories you must have things to do.

Nothing is more fulfilling than playing sports with your family. Let's explore some of the easiest sports to play that promote quality family values.

Badminton

This is a sport that requires a small investment and only a handful of people.

Keep in shape with your kids and play a safe game that allows for teambuilding and camaraderie.

Volleyball

Volleyball is similar to badminton, as it… Read More

Two Places US Citizens Wish We Could Visit, and Two US Alternatives

Posted by David Brownley in Travel

For most of us, travel is a time when we get to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of another town, city, or country. But for those of us with US citizenships there are some places in the world that are off limits. The United States makes it extremely difficult to acquire visas for some countries. Other places make it extremely difficult for people from the USA to visit. Unless you're willing to pack up everything, sell your home on QuickBuyers, and leave – you'll find it difficult to travel to these two places. Don't worry though, I've listed two US alternatives for the travel-happy.

1. Havana, Cuba

Ever since 1960, the US has imposed an embargo on Cuba. For five decades, the US government has forbidden Americans to travel to Cuba citing many reasons for the embargo. But Havana is a place where Cuban culture is most vibrant. Set on a… Read More

5 Things to Do for Your Business Before You Travel

Posted by David Brownley in Travel

It's nearly time to take a vacation and you just want to relax. But before you can enjoy your days off from work, you have to prepare your business life for your time away. There are a lot of things you have to do to keep the business running while you're away. And, if you do these things you'll be able to enjoy your holiday with a clear head. Here are five things you should never forget to do before you travel.

1. Make sure someone is handling the mail.

When you're gone you won't be able to sift through the mail for important documents, and you also won't be able to send out any forms to clients or other business acquaintances. If you use a document collection company for important documents, this transition will be easier. Otherwise, just make sure someone you trust is taking care of your mail. That… Read More

Spend Christmas in Cusco during a Peru Tour

Posted by Maureen Santucci in Travel

Although Christmas is not the most important holiday or even religious festival that’s celebrated in Peru's ancient capital city of Cusco, it’s still a great place to be on the 25th of December.

Actually, it’s the 24th that’s more important, so you’ll want to make sure you get into town before. Plan your tour of Peru so that you are in Cusco itself at least for Christmas Eve.

Each year on the 24th, the Plaza de Armas or main square gets turned into an arts and crafts fair. Called Santurantikuy (Sale of Saints), it features works from artisans all over the country who travel to Cusco just for this event.

In fact, the streets are actually lined with poor country folk sleeping with their families on the night of the 23rd. If you’re interested in Peruvian crafts, you can find all sorts of things that aren’t normally available in the city. A specialty… Read More
