As in person travel is starting up again, I wanted to share my best travel advice- get a room with two queen beds so you can eat in one bed and sleep in the other.

Anyone else have good travel advice?

The tip is more so about making sure you’re going out and visiting the city you’re traveling to. I have eaten many meals in a hotel room while watching tv when I should have been sitting at a restaurant bar and making the most of it

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
