Nobody likes swimming in bacteria-infested waters. It would be hard to find anyone who likes swimming in cold waters either unless you’re into the new trendy cold plunges invading your TikTok and Reels algorithms. Well, San Diego may be widely viewed as the golden child of Southern California, but it’s not exactly paradise right now.…

The birthplace of tango and the proud home of chef-favorite Bife de Chorizo, Argentina is the number one destination for tourists heading to South America, not only because the culture and cuisine are unmatched, but because it’s very safe for foreigners: Compared to its neighbors, Argentina enjoys lower levels of violent crime, scamming practices, and even pickpocketing, making…

If you’re traveling to Cancun or the Mexican Caribbean this summer then I have good news. According to the experts at Seaweed Watch, the beaches of the Mexican Caribbean are experiencing dramatically reduced levels of sargassum right now and will be completely sargassum-free for much of the summer.

Antelopes, hundreds of thousands of them, are crossing the savannas of South Sudan. The central African country has been ravaged by war over the last few decades, making it unsafe…

Colombia has been hit with a series of travel warnings since 2022, owing to the increase in…

After 10 years of traveling to some of Greece’s dreamiest beaches, I can wholeheartedly say that I’ve fallen in love with the country, its second-to-none coastline, and mindblowing hospitality. And until this year, I thought I’d seen it all – from the royal blue waters of Zakynthos and the white stone houses of Santorini to…

With sargassum battering much of the Cancun coast and tarnishing the otherwise pristine look of the white-sand beaches, it’s no surprise that a growing number of American travelers are swapping the Mexican Caribbean for the Pacific side.
