As we reported earlier this year, the Riviera Express, which connects the city of Rome to the French Mediterranean metropolis of Marseille, is finally launching this summer, with seasonal service set to start on July 4, running through August 30. Beyond Rome and Marseille, however, the train is calling at a number of dreamy coastal destinations that …

When you think of Nepal, you probably just know that it’s home to Mount Everest and a paradise for trekkers and hikers, but chances are you’ve never even considered it as a digital nomad destination. Granted, Nepal still primarily appeals to extreme adventurists, particularly Everestophiles, but something you might not know is it ranks among …

Popular as Europe may be for city breaks and ancient culture, a significant number of Americans who are flying abroad this season will keep it ‘local’, or should we say, on this side of the Atlantic, and needless to say, Cancun’s on their radar—but what about all that pesky sargassum? As you might be aware, …

We’re right in the midst of a European Railway Renaissance, and for the train lovers out there, every new train launch is a reason to celebrate: Call it nostalgia for a Golden Age when people used to travel slowly without a pressing urge to be at a particular place, at a particular time, or simply …

With its faraway fairytale castles, cobbled towns that look frozen in a 15th-century snapshot, and unmatched cultural allure, it’s no wonder Europe is at the top of the bucket list for most Americans flying abroad this summer. While most will be flocking to cities like London, Paris, and Rome, a sizable minority has been craving …

When we told you all those articles back that we’re living through some sort of Mexican Railway Renaissance where anything could happen, we weren’t joking, y’all: After the launch of the Maya Train, traveling on a loop around the Yucatán Peninsula, and other equally-promising infrastructure projects, like the recently-revamped Tren Interoceánico, it’s finally time for …

We all know St. Tropez for the pastel-colored alleyways that always seem to lead to either a picture-perfect bell tower or charming piazzas flanked by cafe terraces, the scenic beachfront, and, of course, the round-the-clock partying. Exciting as all of that might seem, we’re not sure about you. We’re not exactly fans of St-Tropez’s crazy crowds, …

After the United Kingdom, Thailand, and many more countries rolled out their ETAs, or Electronic Travel Authorizations, impacting millions of travelers, yet another popular destination is jumping on the bandwagon and making traveling a tad more bureaucratic than it should be. It seems ETAs, eVisas, entry permits, call it what you want, are truly the …

Vespa rides through narrow streets lined with pastel-hued buildings, charming piazzas centered around ornate public fountains, and all that fresh, homemade pasta. And of course, the Colosseum—ah, the absolute marvel that it is! It’s no wonder millions of tourists flock to Rome every year: It is a boundless trove of ancient wonders, but if you …

Picturesque pebbly beaches straddling azure bays (with what’s probably an ancient castle or Roman ruin in the background), soft lemon gelato, and blood-orange-tinged sunsets: There’s nothing quite like a European summer, and if you’re anything like us, you’ve been saving up for months for that idyllic Transatlantic getaway in July-August. But then again, there’s the fact …

When you hear of someone going to Mexico, it’s always a sprawling Mexico City, or the resort-packed beach hotspots of Cancun or Cabo they’re banging on about: That’s hardly a surprise, considering how well-connected those spots are, and their better-than-average tourism infrastructure, but how about the rest of Mexico?
