For the last couple of years, Bangkok has become a digital nomad capital of sorts in Asia, and many have attributed its success to a low cost of living–according to Nomad List, living there costs an average of $1,398 a month–and a lively social scene. It’s truly hard to beat Bangkok’s infamous Sukhumvit Soi 11 when it comes to…

Here’s a tip: Dublin-based Ryanair seems to fly everywhere in Europe. When I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. Kosice? Yep. Paderborn? Uhh yeah, but where’s that? Plus, there are more off-path destinations like Ouarzazate, where Google Translate comes in handy just to pronounce it. Point being, if you’re jetting off in search of European (and…

Why does it seem like hidden gems are becoming harder to find? Even when asking Google for the best hidden gems, the results are often just more of the same old same old. The better question may be, how is it that a U.S. capital city breaking tourism records still flies well under the radar? That’s…

Uh-oh! I can smell the controversy brewing already. One city typically flying under the radar is being hyped up as a must-visit destination. Is it Ireland? Is it the UK? Or something else entirely?

But does exploring more of the world ever get old? That’s a hard no, even more so if wine is involved. Whether it’s iconic cities you’re looking to check off your…

Pass on Cancun? Yep! That’s what many travelers are doing. Despite being Mexico’s most iconic destination, like anywhere else, there are some drawbacks. Of course, recent vacationers experienced quite a scare along Cancun’s paradisal shores when a random fatal attack occurred. While Cancun is generally safe, Mexico often finds itself in ‘PR mode’ due to the…

Bali is one of the most popular destinations in Asia, if not for the beautiful nature it offers, then for the enticing oriental flair that inevitably woos the odd Westerner keen on experiencing a spiritual awakening–you can thank Julia Roberts for that. The one slight caveat? It’s teeming with tourists day and night, and unless you’re locking yourself up…

Let’s face it – some beaches are nearly identical. Not to say there aren’t unique aspects to any particular destination, but vacationers are often content regardless of whether it’s the underrated coastline of Texas, record-breaking Caribbean islands, or Mexico’s hidden gems. As long as there is sun, sand, and nice hotels, there’s no reason to be too picky. That being…
