Meet Grumpy Dad
Welcome To Grumpy Dad
the place where we take the grumbles
out of business travel
and weave them into unforgettable stories! I’m your host, the Grumpy Dad (Bulat) himself, with over a decade of navigating the stormy seas of international business travel under my belt.
My favorite part of these ventures? Getting to learn about the vibrant tapestry of cultures and individuals encountered during my visits. The pieces I loathe? Airport registration, the long lines at TSA, and the seemingly endless wait for flights. Oh, and don’t get me started on the long delays, overbooked flights, and jam-packed lounges!
Through my blog posts and self-published books, I’m here to help you weather the storms of business travel. You’ll get to laugh at my blunders – like the time I muddled up my flight booking during an internship in Russia and had to scramble for a last-minute ticket. That was a pricey, hair-pulling lesson in paying close attention during the booking process!
Working as an International Marketing and Business Development Consultant for Chicken Soup for the Soul Pet Food and managing several online retail ventures has taken me to many corners of the globe. Some of my favorite destinations include France, Vietnam, and Chile. I can’t wait to share stories from these places and more!
At The End Of The Day,
despite my grumbling,
I usually find myself wishing the trip was just a tad longer. I may be a grumpy dad, but the thrill of new experiences never fails to draw me in.
Join me as we navigate the winding paths of international business travel, learn from my experiences (and mistakes), and transform every business trip into an engaging tale. Because when it comes to business travel, it’s not just about the destination but the journey and the stories we tell along the way.
So, grab your documents, double-check them as I always do, and get ready for some adventures. Your Guide to Business Travel, Grumbles Included!
