Planning a Caribbean trip seems foolproof. You book a flight, throw swim trunks in a bag, and assume the rest will work itself out. It won’t. Liz and I have spent a big chunk of our lives in the Caribbean. We’ve made every rookie mistake in the book. We’ve been stranded without cash, burned to …

As the small domestic hopper plane touches down on the narrow airstrip and you step out onto the warm tarmac, the frantic pace of the outside world completely evaporates. You look out over the palm trees, feel the warm ocean breeze, and realize you have arrived somewhere incredible. There are no colossal mega resort towers …

You’re in luck today, as we’ve just got confirmation one of Florida’s busiest airports—and its leading international gateway—will be hosting nonstop flights to one of Europe’s fastest-rising destinations. And no, it’s not Paris, London, Frankfurt, or any done-and-dusted Western European hub. From May 20, 2027, you can fly from MIA straight to Belgrade, the much-overlooked …

We’ve all seen the horror scenes coming out of France and Italy this week, and we’re just as horrified as you. Balaclava-clad rioters setting fire to a historic French town hall, smashing their way into Milan’s landmark Galleria, pillaging shops and terrorizing merchants—and reassuring as a tougher response might sound, even the news that 500 …

Winter vacation is a phrase that conjures up images of cozy escapes, festive markets, or finding a warm beach to beat the cold. But let’s be real, the gap between the trip you see on social media and the reality on the ground can be huge, especially this winter. As the experienced team of editors …

Don’t we just love it when it’s easy to get by in a foreign country, and not only do they have a wealth of ancient and medieval sights you’re pretty sure are older than the entire country of America, but they speak your own language? Well, sort of. A small port city set on the …

Forget your Romes, Parises, Londons of the world: if you’re keen on a European getaway in 2027, but you don’t actually fancy dodging literal dumpster fires and Haussmann boulevards overtaken by violent protests, you might want to give the traditional European city circuit a miss. Lesser-known European cities that have been historically overlooked by tourists …

As the small prop plane banked over a towering green volcano and touched down on the tiny airstrip, the noise and stress of the modern world disappeared. I stepped off the tarmac, looked up at peaks completely swallowed by dense rainforest, and instantly realized I had found a completely untouched corner of the Caribbean. There …

When I ask friends where they want to go on a beach vacation, the answers are almost always the same heavy hitters. Cancun, Cabo, and Turks and Caicos are incredible, but they drain your wallet immediately. I’ve LOVED visiting those luxury spots (I mean who wouldn’t?), but when I want to hit the beach without …

Forget Rome and its jam-packed Trastevere, Naples with its graffiti-splattered center, and Milan’s cathedral-anchored main square, where you practically have to wade through an indiscernible mass of bodies. If you’re looking to experience Italy without the crowds, and at normal prices, Ferrara is where you should be headed. Home to a stunning moated citadel, a …

Not all beach vacations are created equal. Dropping a highly scheduled planner onto an off-the-grid island with no Wi-Fi is a recipe for disaster, just as sending an adventure junkie to a walled-off mega-resort will leave them feeling trapped. Finding the perfect Caribbean getaway comes down to matching the destination’s natural rhythm to your specific …
