If we’re being honest…many lakes across the U.S. just don’t hold a candle to our amazing beaches. While there are a few select spots like Tahoe and just about anywhere in Wisconsin and Michigan, oftentimes you’ll find brackish waters that conjure thoughts of escaping to the coast. Europe is a different playing field. Many travelers …

I loved visiting Paris for the first time, roaming the streets late at night giving my best Owen Wilson “wow” at every turn. But there’s certainly a dark underbelly to Paris, too, that travelers shoo away and …

The time has arrived! Spring Break shenanigans are over, Memorial Day festivities are just weeks away, so you know what that means… Summertime!

Travel the world long enough, and you will find yourself in a sketchy situation. I’ve been scammed, had taxi drivers throw coffee at me, and once booked a nonexistent hotel in Mexico, leaving me and my girlfriend stranded in a town we probably weren’t pronouncing right. In other words, a little research goes a long …

With that said, those willing to think outside the box and expand their “dream destinations” bucket list might still be able to find that one perfect …

While intra-European travel is still much more affordable compared to intra-U.S, ultra-cheap tickets are far rarer to come across now than they were five years ago, when flights from England to Spain would cost less than the airport commute, and it doesn’t look like it’s improving anytime soon: Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary has again affirmed …
