Digital Nomads and GlocalMe

Digital nomad is a relatively new term that describes an individual that earns money online and can travel anywhere in the world as long as they have access to the Internet. They are established professionals and it takes only limited resources and effort for them to start earning money. In other words, being a digital nomad allows you to make a great combination of traveling the world and working. Even though many people associate this word with people who do low-income jobs and stay in cheap motels, the truth is that there are people who are able to pursue big money careers and travel the world.

If you are interested in practicing this lifestyle or you are already a digital nomad, you need to take one thing into consideration – the amount of money you spend for the Internet connection. It can be quite costly to use roaming in every country you visit. However, with the help of GlocalMe, a company that has developed special cloud SIM technology, these costs can be cut. GlocalMe, is a device used as a Wi-Fi hotspot that allows users to find the best operator network. Compared to standard prices paid for roaming, GlocalMe, is 20 or even more times cheaper. This is definitely something useful if you are a digital nomad. Cutting these expenses means that you will get a chance to enjoy more in the places where you are planning to stay for a while.

The usefulness of this technology was recently confirmed by Coboat. This project has a unique concept which allows a small group of people to get involved in co-working on a beautiful catamaran sailing around the globe. Now, thanks to GlocalMe, the participants in this project will have fast and reliable internet connection on board!

Why Macau should be on your Bucket List

Many people overlook Macau when looking for exciting places to visit in Asia. They normally visit the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong and discount the beautiful little city of Macau, only a one-hour ferry ride across the harbor away. Macau is a city of a wonderfully unique blend of both Chinese and Portuguese culture, providing a mix of cathedrals and paved streets similar to those found in Southern Europe, amongst the odd ancient Chinese Temple. The city is probably most well-known for his lavish and decadent Casinos and hotels (such as the Hotel Royal Macau) which line the Cotai Strip (rivaling even Las Vegas in extravagance). So, the next time you are planning to visit Asia, make sure you visit Macau first, as you will not be disappointed.

Hotel Royal Macau is the place to stay in Macau

Hotel Royal Macau is located near the centre of Macau, just at the base of the Colina da Guia, a 174-metre-high legendary landmark in the city, and at the base of the Guia Fortress, which was the first lighthouse on the Chinese coast. Hotel Royal Macau is perfect for both business and personal travelers, providing brilliance and decadence in the centre of one of Asia's most amazing cities. The comfort and serenity that you will experience will rival those experiences of some of the most highly-regarded hotels in the world.

Hotel Royal Macau has everything that you need

The Hotel Royal Macau is situated across 19 floors, with 380 rooms and suites to choose from. Each room and suite is equipped with the finest furniture to ensure the highest standard of contemporary luxury.  The hotel also has a fitness centre, swimming pool, and first-class dining to ensure that its guests are always well-catered for. From Portuguese to authentic Shanghai cuisine, food is delivered by award-winning chefs. If you are a business traveler, Hotel Royal Macau is able to host up to 200 people for business meetings and functions. The level of service that you and your guests will receive whilst hosting these business functions, set amongst the opulence and graceful furnishings, will always be first-class. Every detail and need will be catered for.

Whether it is to visit the extravagance of a Casino strip bigger than Las Vegas, to catch a wave on the rooftop of the Galaxy Macau resort, visit one of twenty-five World Heritage-listed sites, celebrate the Chinese New Year in style, jump from the highest bungy-jump in the world (233 meters above ground), or to simply take in the historical sites and treat yourself to authentic Chinese and Portuguese cuisine, Macau has everything that you could ever need and should be on the top of your Bucket List. Consider staying at the Hotel Royal Macau where all of your dreams will come true.

HIV Advocates Founder Talks about LGBTI Issues

Laurindo Garcia has always been promoting the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex community. He founded the HIV Advocates as a global initiative that will bolster the human rights movements in fighting HIV/AIDS. While LGBT health is not limited to HIV, addressing the discrimination and stigma that the LGBT community is facing is important in order to improve HIV prevention, treatment, and overall health of the members of the community.

The HIV Advocates founder shared that being diagnosed HIV positive in 2004 was a vital moment in his life. He has experienced the discrimination and stigma that HIV positive patients had to endure, especially those who are part of the LGBT community. Because of what he has experienced, his perspective in life changed. He felt that there’s a need for someone within the community to stand up and take action against the inequalities. He didn’t want to be a bystander anymore, and that’s why he created the HIV Advocates.

Aside from HIV Advocates, Laurindo also created the B-Change. It is an international social enterprise organization that promotes change through social media and the Internet. He said that young members of the LGBTI community are more active online. That’s why social, health, and legal services must try to become more technology-savvy to engage with the younger demographic.

At present, most of the reproductive health and sexual services are delivered through the public health system. The problem is that young members of the LGBTI community would face discrimination or stigma when they seek help. This is usually the case in emerging and developing countries.

By the year 2018, Laurindo is confident that his organization will be able to identify several methods to connect the youth with support and care that they need through the Internet and social media. These methods will help improve LGBTI health as a whole, and not just those suffering from HIV/AIDS.

As for HIV Advocates, Laurindo wants health providers to do their job without any discrimination or prejudice. This is the top priority of HIV Advocates. The AIDS epidemic has been around for more than 30 years, and yet a lot of people are still losing their lives to HIV because they can’t receive proper treatment. Aside from the young members of the LGBTI, other groups that face discrimination and prejudice include sex workers, drug users, migrants, and prisoners.

The goal of HIV Advocates is to unite everyone in the fight against HIV/AIDS. People should open their minds and realize that the AIDS epidemic is not just a LGBTI problem. It is a human problem, and people should consider that everything’s possible if everyone is working together. There is no us and them in the fight, but only we.
