The East Coast of the United States is complex in the best way. It isn’t just one vibe. It’s a massive, shifting landscape of natural beauty, complicated history, and some of the most interesting cities on the planet. I travel constantly, and while I love exploring the West Coast and hopping international borders, I firmly …
At a time when overtourism has much of Europe pushing back on visitors, it may come as a surprise that one country actually wants more tourists rather than push them away. While certain hotspots in places like Spain and the Netherlands claim they’ve stamped too many passports — or are simply becoming pickier about the …
May is a sweet spot not discussed enough. A majority of spring crowds will have disappeared as spring break shenanigans will largely be a distant thought, and most of us will be saving up for summer, especially with gas prices soaring. That said, many beach getaways are just as awesome to visit one month prior …
Very few places will make you dream and fantasize of paradise quite like Santorini’s virgin-white clifftop houses and bright-blue church domes backed by a flaming Aegean sunset. Yes, it’s gorgeous, and yes, it’s simply one of those breathtaking places you can’t quite put into words. That said, Santorini’s natural beauty and unique architecture are also …
If the past few years have proven anything, it’s that even the most well-thought-out plans can fall apart. Now more than ever, travelers are wondering what the best travel insurance for their next trip is. As a result, travel insurance usage is more prevalent than ever. Whether for unexpected medical expenses, trip cancellation guarantees, or …
No matter the context, one million people anywhere is hard to fathom. Well, that’s how many people flew into one forgotten beach city in just one month’s time — and the shortest month of the year, at that. That’s right, one of Florida’s most beautiful coastal getaways that was ravaged by multiple natural disasters is …
According to a new research published by TravelSupermarket, an up-and-coming UK-based travel search engine, Spain’s cheapest coastal region to visit this year is the offbeat Costa Cálida. Before you immediately dismiss this as another wannabe travel agency loosely cobbling together data and making bold claims that are easily debunked, hear us out: We’ve never heard …
Forget Lisbon and its endless flights of stairs leading to jam‑packed miradouros, and a crowded Porto and its overhyped riverside wine bars: If you’re looking for the authentic, slower‑paced, thoroughly local Portugal, away from the Insta‑crowds, you might want to give the usual power duo a miss this time. Portugal may be small by any country’s …
Tell me I’m wrong. The worst part about traveling abroad is hopping off a long flight to see an infinite line of fellow travelers tip-toeing an inch at a time just to be asked the dreaded question, “what are you doing in ___?”. As simple as it sounds, your trip all rides on this answer. …
I like to travel anywhere anytime, but I continually find myself drawn right back down to Mexico. If you think Mexico is just walled-off, all-inclusive beach resorts and crowded tourist strips, you are completely missing out on the real magic of this country. Time Out just released their massive list of the Best Cities in …
I travel constantly, and finding a resort that strikes the perfect balance between high-end relaxation and actual fun can be surprisingly difficult. You usually have to compromise on something. The food is mediocre, the transit time eats up half your day, or the pool scene is entirely dead by sunset… it happens more often than …
It’s become all too commonplace to reduce Italy to being overtouristed and overhyped. Between the Roman Colosseum, the winding Venetian canals navigated by long-tail gondolas, and Pisa’s Leaning Tower selfie hub, the ungodly sight of shoulder-to-shoulder crowds is unavoidable. That’s not to say this applies to the wider country, you know, beyond the usual Instagram hotspots. It …
