When it comes to the Pacific Northwest, dense evergreen forests, amazing cities, and lore of Sasquatch may come to mind. But the latest tourism data revealed a real shocker — a storybook town sandwiched between Seattle and Spokane is not the talk of the town, but the talk of the state. That’s right — we’re …

Not to be the bragacious one in the room, but I’m the guy all my friends come to when planning their yearly Eurotrip. With 40+ European countries under my belt—that’s virtually all of them, mind you—and 100+ cities, it’s fair to say I know the Old Continent like the back of my hand: from the …

Pistacchio gelato sitting on a pier overlooking a pastel-hued port in Croatia. Vespa rides along Italy’s winding coastal roads, passing cliffside houses and imposing Renaissance palaces. Lounging on an exclusive beach club in Nice, France, spritz in hand and not a care in the world. Sounds dreamy, alright, until you factor in the buzzing crowds, …

If you’re planning a trip to Croatia in the near future, chances are it’s places like Dubrovnik, Split, and Hvar Island that are at the top of your wishlist. I’ve been to Croatia a few times myself, and listen, those are all great, from the historical coastal ramparts, to the millennia-old Roman palaces hosting residential …

Take it from me, someone who always becomes a pantomiming master as if I’ve never traveled before, learning a new city’s transit system is no easy feat no matter where you find yourself. Being so iconic, Paris is obviously one of the most visited cities in the world — maybe even the most visited depending …

We’re not sure about you, but there’s no other way we’d rather explore Europe than by train. Though you could make an argument for sustainability, in reality, it goes far beyond that: Trains are generally more reliable than budget carriers like Ryanair and easyJet, you don’t risk getting charged upwards of $50 because the wheels …

For a solid decade, Charleston has been the undisputed heavyweight champion of Southern travel. Between its European aesthetics, out-of-this-world Lowcountry cuisine, and those legendary Bill Murray sightings, it felt like the Holy City was the only South Carolina destination that mattered. But as we move through 2026, the tides are shifting. While Charleston is currently …

Take it from me — travelers worldwide are getting this one right. Heck, just ask our Editor-in-Chief Tyler who just came back from Peru… It’s not just Machu Picchu that’s a huge draw. That’s right — the trek of a lifetime into otherworldly ruins isn’t the only thing attracting more visitors. In fact, there were …

The time has arrived! Spring Break shenanigans are over, Memorial Day festivities are just weeks away, so you know what that means… Summertime! Our well-earned PTO is piled up and ready to be cashed in for an epic trip abroad. We all know Europe is never a bad decision, but the question always remains: where …

Planning a Caribbean escape in 2026 feels a lot different than it did just a few years ago. Even the island I used to live on has recently gone from Level 1 to Level 2. While we’re all chasing that perfect turquoise horizon, the reality is that the “safety” of an island now depends as …

Believe it or not, planning a trip south of the border isn’t always easy. Sure, you could follow the crowds to click ‘n’ go icons such as Cancun or Cabo, but you’d be missing out on some of Mexico’s most pristine gems – not the cookie-cutter experiences you could have stateside. One such place is …

When you envision a trip across the pond, there’s virtually no chance an Old World city hasn’t crossed your mind. Whether it’s tourist-filled London or perhaps a hidden gem locals love and prefer to stay quiet about, the point is that a European getaway almost always means immersing yourself in centuries of history, intentional or …
