As iconic and exhilarating as London may be, there’s no doubt it’s pricey. In fact, I was going through my travel receipts as one does last-minute on Tax Day and totally forgot I paid over $100 per ticket for a classic, bright red double-decker bus ride…in the rain. Whomp, whomp, whomp. And that’s before the …

If you’re planning a sunny getaway to France this summer, St. Tropez is likely to be at the top of your list, and we get it: the ocher-colored facades, the turquoise seas, and the perfect combination of traditional French and Southern European cuisine… You just can’t go wrong with it, except for the surging July …

California and savings don’t often belong in the same sentence. Take it from me, a San Diego resident who bought an electric car to avoid California’s notoriously high fuel prices, only to double my electric bill, which costs more than my previous gas expenses from the clunker I traded in. Go figure. For travelers, though, …

If you’re a digital nomad, a slow traveler, or just someone who really wants to soak in a new culture beyond the highlight reel, you’ve probably felt the frustration of short tourist visa limits. Jumping from place to place every 30, 60, or 90 days feels more like a race than a journey, right? You …

Remember when you used to board flights, halfway through checking your mailbox in a rush, or ensuring you’ve closed down all your pending WhatsApp chats, however urgent replying to them may be, before an imminent takeoff? Once that orange plane logo slid on the top right corner of your screen, you knew it was bye-bye …

Paris is the kind of place that doesn’t need an introduction. It’s beautiful. It’s iconic. It’s… kind of expensive, right? I used to think so too—until I actually went. I spent a week in Paris on a budget, and I’m here to tell you: you can do it without giving up croissants, Eiffel Tower views, …

Okay, let’s be real. If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent a good chunk of the past few months daydreaming. Maybe it’s about swapping your office chair for a hammock slung between palm trees, trading traffic noise for the chatter of a foreign market, or just feeling sunshine that doesn’t require three layers of clothing. …

Sometimes, Americans ignore Mexico’s wonders, thinking Cancun, Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta are the only beach destinations worth visiting. As for Mexico’s sprawl of cityscapes, Mexico City seems to be the exception to unwritten rules, as our southern neighbor is misrepresented mainly as a ‘dangerous’ country, when in fact, a majority of violent crime happens …

Most travelers jetting off to France have scoped out the Eiffel Tower, world-renowned art museums, and endless sidewalk cafes, but to escape the city grind and sky-high prices, we recently unveiled France’s secret beach on the northern coast as an alternative to not only Paris. But even as spectacular as this side of France may …

Latin America is not the first geographical region that pops to mind when you think of a ‘safe’ destination abroad: Although it is important not to generalize, and not everyone’s experience is the same, Latin America is often plagued by higher crime levels, including violence and corruption, than more developed countries in the Northern Hemisphere. That’s …

Formerly viewed solely as a cruise destination intermixed on a laundry list of Caribbean paradises, perhaps Mexico’s most well-known island has become one of the country’s trendiest beach escapes. Arguably belonging in the same category as Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, which recently entered the chat, Cozumel has soared to new heights as more …

They say the best coast is the West Coast, so what does that make the East Coast… The Least Coast? Anywho, when you envision the West Coast, it’s likely the first image to flash before your mind’s eye is a snapshot of the Golden State’s pristine shores, such as Santa Cruz, numerous laid-back beach towns …
