Make Travel Easier and More Enriching With Your Smartphone @HuaweiZA #HuaweiPsmart2021

Hi Friends, 

In this day and age, smartphones have become almost permanent extensions of our lives. The reason most people keep their phones so close is not just purely entertainment value but because of the fact that our phones are very useful, especially when on the go. From things like navigation apps, translations, photography and making reservations, our phones have radically changed the way we travel. And the HUAWEI P Smart 2021 will prove invaluable to you when planning your next trip.

Capture beautiful memories

As much as going on a holiday is about being present and limiting screen time, this doesn’t mean you have to stow your phone away for the entire trip; how else are you going to capture beautiful sunsets? Especially because the HUAWEI P Smart 2021 is equipped with a quad AI camera that includes a 48MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth camera. Together, these cameras, and their impressive resolutions, will capture even the smallest details to the widest landscapes.

Also, safari selfies are a thing on Instagram, and we all know it’s bad manners to deprive followers of an Instaworthy out-in-the wild selfie. The phone’s front-facing camera, which delivers crystal-clear selfies, and the automatically activated circular flash will ensure you look sharp and vivid even in low-light environments. So, go ahead and snap away and don’t forget to post on Instagram (because without a safari picture, were you even there?).

Stay on track

Being on vacation is mostly about rest, but exploring your new space can also be fun. The last thing you want to do is for your smartphone to run out of battery, especially if you don’t know your way around. How else are you going to find your way back to your Airbnb? With the phone’s 5000mAh, AI power-saving, eight power reduction solutions and 22.5W SuperCharge, which allows you to charge your battery in no time, you can rest assured that you won’t be needing to remember where the yellow brick road is, as your phone’s battery will still be powered up.

Yes, to plenty of storage space!

Whether you’re planning a road trip playlist, or planning Saturday movie night, you won’t need to worry about how much music and how many videos to upload, as storage on the HUAWEI P Smart 2021 is not a problem. The 4GB RAM effectively allows you to run multiple apps simultaneously and switch between them fluidly, while the 128GB ROM brings you large storage for all your favourite photos, videos, games and music.

While vacations are all about relaxation, it may be hard to put the HUAWEI P Smart 2021 down but at least you won’t feel too guilty about it because you will have amazing pictures and videos to reflect on when you’re back to working from home.

The HUAWEI P Smart 2021 is available on contract with this great deal at operators including Vodacom, MTN, Telkom and Cell C starting from R279 for post-paid contracts. You can also purchase it from the Huawei online store.

Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Dec 2015 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

December being the last month of every year, it's time to reflect on all the lessons learned during the year and make yourself aware about what not to do in the coming year. I really loved the feeling to make new dreams and tick off some of the stuff you always wanted to do as you enter into the new year.

@Airbnb Brings A Night Among The Sharks #Aquarium #Paris #France

Hi Guys, 

Airbnb, the world’s leading community-driven hospitality company, unveiled the most awe-inspiring Airbnb listing to date – a fully submerged bedroom in the shark tank at the Paris Aquarium where your closest neighbours will be 35 sharks. Hosted by the Paris Aquarium on the nights of April 11, 12th and 13th, this underwater bedroom sits within three million litres of water, in an aquarium ten meters deep and where the only thing separating the guests from the majestic sharks is a 360-degree transparent wall.

Sharks are among the most feared and misunderstood animals in the world. You are for instance, more likely to die from taking a selfie than from a shark attack. This April, people will have the chance to get up close to these stunning animals and appreciate their power and beauty.

Three lucky people and their guest will each get to spend a night in the underwater bedroom. They will be welcomed by host, Fred Buyle, a world record-breaking freediver, underwater photographer, and shark conservationist. He’ll dance alongside the sharks, the ideal introduction to your companions for the night. Once the guests are settled, Fred and one of the Aquarium’s marine biologists will guide them on a tour through the Aquarium, and provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of sharks: how they live, why they’re so misunderstood, and their importance to the ocean’s ecosystem. The winner and their guest will also enjoy an intimate meal, with gorgeous tank-side views of the sharks.

Opened in 1867 and located in front of the Eiffel Tower, the Aquarium de Paris was the first of its kind to be built anywhere in the world. Designed specifically for the Aquarium and tested in the Mediterranean sea, the submarine bedroom will live on even after guests leave, acting as a study area for biologists, whether or not they are divers. The structure will reduce the number of dives needed and therefore the emission of bubbles, allowing the biologists to observe a more natural behavior of fish. The animals are already used to the custom built structure: they are curious, approach it and swim quietly.

“We’ve seen cable cars, former airplanes and even the top of a ski jump listed on Airbnb, but this is really unlike anything we’ve ever seen before on the site,”said Olivier Grémillon, Managing Director EMEA for Airbnb. “Whether you have a passion for sharks or a shark phobia, this will not only be a once-in-a-lifetime, magical experience, it will also be a chance to change the way you think about these beautiful creatures.”

“We’re thrilled to be the first Aquarium in the World to offer this chance for people to be more than simply visitors, but to get such an ‘immersive’ experience,”said Alexis L. POWILEWICZ, CEO of Aquarium de Paris. “Sharks are essential for the health of marine ecosystem. If they were to disappear, it would be a major threat to the ocean’s ecosystem. It is therefore crucial to be able to observe them in order to better protect them. Aquariums provide a place to observe their behavior and reproduction patterns and we look forward to continuing to use this observation structure for that purpose. This event is important for us. It’s a chance to work with scientists to observe sharks closer than ever.”

Visit the listing page to win the chance to spend one night in the Aquarium.Entrants are asked to tell a little about themselves, where they live and why they belong with the sharks for a night, by 11:59 p.m. CET on 4/3/2016.

Not local? No worries. We’ll fly the winners in from anywhere in the world.The winner and their guest should be over 18 years old, medically fit and able to climb into and out of the bedroom. Note that for safety reasons, the winner and their guest must not exceed 190 kilograms. Submissions should be between 50-550 characters or less in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese and 50-300 character or less in Chinese, Japanese or Korean.

House rules

● No selfies after dark. Remember, sharks are sensitive to light.

● Avoid seeing Jaws before your sleepover. They’re kinder than you think!

● No sleepwalking or night swimming.

● Don’t eat the chum.

● No diving. 

● Keep your heads and feet in the bedroom at all times. 

● Sheep can’t swim, so count sharks instead. 

● Don’t take the bait. 

● The guests will have access to the biologists’ bathroom

Cheers!!!

Checklist To Give Your Guests A #Knockout #Experience As An #Airbnb host

Hi Guys,

Every day, from Amanzimtoti to Zeerust and every destination in between, hosts around South Africa are creating unforgettable experiences for thousands of Airbnb travellers. Nicola D’Elia, General Manager for Middle East & Africa (MEA) offers some tips for hosts who want to get the most from their Airbnb experience. You could think of these nine Airbnb standards as a personal checklist for helping you attain and maintain the coveted five-star rating from your guests:

Accuracy

Be sure everything in your listing—photos, details, house rules, pricing—accurately reflects what guests will experience. And don’t skimp on photos. Listings with better photos get more bookings. Airbnb actually offers free professional photography, and you can check here to see if your location is covered.

Communication

Get to know your guest’s travel plans so you can personalise their experience. Download the Airbnb app to respond to guests from wherever you are in the world. And aim to respond to all enquiries and reservation requests within 24 hours. We have found that hosts who respond in less than 12 hours get twice as many bookings per month.

Availability

Manage your calendar meticulously. Find the right match for your space by setting criteria and using Instant Book. Hosts who keep their availability calendars up to date receive five times more bookings than those who don’t.

Commitment

If you can’t keep a reservation, contact your would-be guest as soon as possible. Apologize profusely and bend over backwards to find back-up accommodations. Don’t forget to officially cancel online, too. Hosts can use Groups to help find another available host.

Cleanliness

Clean as if royalty were on their way for a slumber party. The cleaner your space, the more glowing your review. Our research shows that listings with 5-star cleanliness ratings receive 20% more bookings.

Amenities

Fresh bedding, towels, soap, and toilet paper are a must. Always have them available upon arrival. Plus feel free to add your own little luxuries, too, like maps, local wine, coffee beans, aromatherapy diffusers or even a vase of fresh-cut flowers.

Welcome

Show world-class hospitality with a prompt check-in time, transportation tips, and a tour of your space. Airbnb guests live for outside-the-box travel activities. Teach them how to eat, dance, and bungee-jump like a local.

Support

Check in on guests, be easily accessible, and go way out of your way to offer alternatives if things don’t go according to plan. Our world isn’t perfect. Pipes burst and ankles twist, but you have the power to help remedy these situations.

Reviews

Write a review (compliment or constructive feedback) for guests within 14 days of checkout. Approach this as if you were writing a thank-you note or a friendly letter encouraging one how to be a better guest. This will also help encourage your guests to write a review as guests are 70% more likely to review their host after their host reviews them.

And remember: 

From pricing to easing the arrival of a guest, Airbnb offers a range of personalized tools that let you spend more time building lasting connections with guests instead of managing your listings. The newly revamped Host Dashboard on Airbnb is more personalized to your needs. You can see everything that is important in one view: pending requests, upcoming guests, alerts, and reviews. This makes it easy to you keep track of your reservations and stay on top of your interactions with your guests. So clearly, this is going to be the right way to travel and look out for accommodations if you are on the other side of being a traveler.

Cheers!!!
