If you think summer in Europe is done and dusted, think again. Well, that may well be the case in more northerly destinations such as London, Paris, and Amsterdam, where temperatures are already starting to dip and rainy days are becoming more frequent, but this southern Mediterranean island doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo. …

I was just in Thailand for two months and entry was a breeze. No visa required, two months of visa free stay, and no extra paperwork, it was absolute bliss. However those days are now officially over. Starting this month there is a major change coming for all American tourists and travelers from 60 other …

We have all seen the viral videos lately. The massive cruise ship crowds completely clogging up the Amalfi Coast, the hours-long wait times just to walk down a set of stairs in Santorini, and the hundred-dollar plates of mediocre pasta. American travelers are completely exhausted by the suffocating crowds and the logistical nightmares of peak-season …

Stop defaulting to the same overcrowded resorts where the most strenuous activity of the day is fighting for a pool chair. I know it’s tempting, but travel is sometimes about more than leisure! For decades, the Caribbean has been marketed exclusively as a place to lie on the sand with a frozen drink. But after …

Not ready to say goodbye to summer just yet? It may be a little too late for that idyllic Eurosummer in Saint-Tropez or Amalfi, now that temperatures are starting to dip and beach clubs are winding down for the season, but what if we told you there’s a lesser-known beach city at the eastern end …

You check the travel advisory level for your beach getaway and see a safe overall score. You purchase your basic travel insurance package that should cover you if anything goes wrong, right? Wrong. That was the old way of thinking. With a few exceptions, the government used to issue a single safety level for an …

Honestly, usually when I hear “road trip,” my mind thinks hours stuck in a car, gross fast food, and “I’d rather just fly”. BUT, there is a 113-mile stretch of highway down south that I would road trip on every year if I could! Driving the Overseas Highway all the way down to Key West …

We got ourselves a new sleeper, you guys! It’s never been a more exciting time to be a train enthusiast in Europe, with routes launching left, right, and center, and if you’re headed across the northern half of the continent from spring 2028 onward, you’ll have a fresh 15-hour overnight service linking 4 of Europe’s …

Stop dropping $500 a night on an overcrowded Vermont bed-and-breakfast to see the colors change! I know it’s tempting, but right now, you can head to a completely overlooked stretch of the country and book a rustic cabin or local lodge for under $100 a night while still getting world-class autumn color. When my wife …

Italy is probably the number-one destination for Americans hopping across the pond. Pastel buildings, scenic lungomare promenades stretching along turquoise seas, and incredible food… name any other European country that can beat it. I’ll wait. Anyway, if you think pasta and beaches, and, well, Amalfi are the only draws luring Americans over to the Italian …

It seems Trojan horses, lustful witches on remote islands, and deadly mermaids have been the talk of summer. I’d be lying to you if I said I’ve joined the throngs in obsessing over Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster, The Odyssey, but if there’s one thing I pride myself on being, it’s an absolute, unapologetic Greek mythology …

Last year I had to cancel my September getaway at the very last minute, and it still stings. We had had our bags completely packed for Los Cabos. I was incredibly ready to sit back, unplug, and sip ice-cold drinks beachside for a solid week. Then, exactly three days before our flight, Hurricane Lorena popped …
