Hello Ms Randomcoder, there is no specific solution unfortunately. Having spent a year living and working across time zones, I was unable to find a good solution. And, in fact, the problem was compounded by trying to synchronise org data with Google's calendar and with MS Outlook. I eventually simply stopped synchronising and relied on my computer having the time that was appropriate for where I was at the time. All org data were "local" time with a fluid definition of "local". -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.4.1, Org release_8.3beta-820-gd92ef9
