The view of Table Mountain from my hotel window.
I’m writing this post from Cape Town, South Africa, one of the most beautifully situated cities in the world. I arrived yesterday, after a 34-hour home-to-hotel journey from my home outside Toronto, Canada.
I’m in town to attend AfricaCom 2015.
But this post is not about telecommunications or tradeshows.
The trip, and subsequent conversations over dinner and breakfast with colleagues, got me thinking about the little things that non-travelers (dubbed “HQ people” in the title) need to appreciate. A few immediately came to mind (and I’m sure there are more – feel free to comment, below, on your own):
- Demos must work
- Hauling heavy stuff around the world is a pain
- It’s hard to focus when you’re exhausted
