No offense, Gulf Shores! There’s a new sheriff in town, at least for the fall season. That’s not to say Alabama’s beautiful beaches aren’t worthy of a fall getaway, but tucked away in the state’s northeast corner is a little-known town boasting some truly amazing sites. While Alabama always makes a name for itself during…

Home to paradisiacal Mediterranean beaches and ancient cities with origins lost to time––some of the oldest known to mankind––Greece has been one of the most popular destinations for Americans this year, and this is likely to be the case still going into the fall. Be that as it may, if Athens’ surging crowds (and prices) sound all too unappealing,…

Summer is hot in more ways than one, and it’s no different for Philadelphia, the ‘City of Brotherly Love’. While there’s far more to do than take selfies with Rocky Balboa and indulge in savory cheesesteaks, nobody would blame you for booking fall travel plans a bit early. This is especially true when one such…

Is the Caribbean calling? Are you dreaming of leaving the world behind and getting sand in your toes on unspoiled beaches? Forget following the herd to Jamaica or the Bahamas! I’m recommending a visit to Bonaire instead. According to new figures by CaribJournal, Bonaire has seen great tourism growth this summer, with 1.5% more arrivals than last year…

Romania is not the first destintion that comes to mind when Americans plan a trip to Europe. It doesn’t have a world-renowned monument like France’s Eiffel Tower, nor does it boast year-round warmer temperatures like Andalusia in Spain. On the other hand, the Eastern country is known for its Dracula associations, well-preserved medieval castles that might…

Being allowed only 10 days of paid vacation per year on average, it’s no wonder a majority of Americans think first and foremost of relaxation whenever going abroad once in a blue moon. We’re talking five-star stays, being treated like royalty from the minute you check in to the time of departure, and enjoying round-the-clock catering: as…

When you think of France, you probably think of Paris. Sadly, so does every other tourist heading to the country of croissants and culture. Which means Paris is almost always full of visitors. But if you’re looking for a French city with a more authentic and laidback vibe that’s still packed with things to see…

Lots can be said about Istanbul and 99% are pure-hearted compliments. But that teeny 1% mostly has to do with the enormous waves of crowds packing in this vibrant, historic city. Lots can also be said about Paris, but one thing is for certain – Istanbul has been crowned the most visited city in the world,…

Nothing screams Italy quite like the Amalfi Coast: the scenic coastal drives, colorful towns perched atop clifftops, and fine-pebble beaches hugged by turquoise seas, you name it. There’s just one downside, though (or two, if you will): it can be unpleasantly crowded in the peak travel season, not to mention staggeringly expensive. The cheapest hotel in Positano starts…

Evah put yuh cah keys in yah khakis aftah pahkin’ the cah? Yeah, me either. But when that thick Boston accent hits you right between the ears, it’s like a wake-up call to explore more of the action-packed East Coast. Whether it be underrated beaches, charming small towns, or some of the world’s most iconic cities, this side…
