Introduction

Hello my name is Andre Silvino Figueroa.The feature that interests me the most is the lifestyles section.  My blog is The Gentleman's Guide to Traveling. The title speaks for itself, and will give tips and pointers for a great traveling experience. I would like to become a photojournalist and I plan on traveling quite a bit later in the years to come. I feel like it would be great to have a guide from a someone like me who enjoys traveling, and adventure. I have some experience traveling and have picked up some tips and pointers during my travels and would like to share them.  

The link below talks about a few trends from 2014 and I'd like to expand a little more on them.

Number two on the list talks about improved airline cabins. A good example of this would be Virgin America airlines; the airline cabins are roomy, have comfortable seats and the staff is very friendly. I tend to fly with them because of the great experience, and also because the flights aren't so expensive (#14). Number eight which says that "taxis will no longer be a form for transportation for travelers". There are private taxi companies like Uber, which are private drivers. Uber is like the taxi 5.0, you don't have to deal with a gross smelly cab or the rude driver. With Uber you ride in style in a black town car, or black SUV. When I first heard about Uber, I was immediately interested because a taxi service that only uses black cars sounds cool on its own. In November while I was in Seattle with my girlfriend, I requested an Uber from the airport and she was really surprised when we were picked up by a black town car. Uber is now international and can be found in most major cities around the world, which is really convenient to any traveler.
