Home to a dramatic nature and mountainous areas of outstanding beauty, Switzerland is one of the most popular destinations in Europe, but to the average traveler who’s on a budget of under $1,000 per week, it’s just too expensive to visit. A one-week stay in a hotel anywhere in Switzerland, whether it’s a big city like Zurich, or…

Ibiza is known for its vibrant nightlife and diverse music scene, including performances by famous DJs like David Guetta and rows upon rows of upscale holiday villas and high life, but in all fairness, I didn’t love it all that much. Yes, the weather is lovely in July, and I truly doubt there’s a better spot…

It seems like more and more people are planning to go to Cancun, Tulum, or Los Cabos this summer, and if you want to see what the fuss is all about, too – great! All three places promise the summer experience of a lifetime; after all, there’s a reason why people can’t seem to get…

As much as I love Venice and its romantic canals, Paris with the elegant Haussmann cityscape, and Barcelona’s unique mixture of medieval heritage and 21st-century boldness, mixing with the surging crowds threatening to overwhelm these cities is definitely not my idea of fun. Europe is dealing with a serious overtourism issue, and it’s no surprise some of these…

Summer isn’t just for the ‘9 to 5′ worker ready to splurge on a vacation. No, summer attracts anyone with a sense of wanderlust ready to explore the world’s best destinations. If there’s one type of traveler who is always on the prowl for the next best thing, it’s undoubtedly digital nomads. Who can blame them?…

Few places in the world are more iconic than Italy, and the best part is that the entire country is worth exploring from one end to the other. Between fascinating history, stunning beaches, and some of the best cuisine on the planet, you can’t really go wrong. “Fastest growing” and “summer” don’t always go hand in hand…

Home to Disney-like castles (except they’re the real deal), cobbled towns that almost don’t look real, and boasting an invaluable heritage dating back several millennia, Europe is on every traveler’s radar this summer, particularly culture-hungry Americans. Between France’s stately Belle époque cityscapes and all the Gaudí masterpieces scattered around Barcelona, it’s not like their options are exactly…

Say what you want about Florida, but it’s an awesome place to vacation. The “Sunshine State” seems to have a knack for making the most bizarre, off-the-wall headlines, yet the stunning beaches and affordability factor trump all the weirdness. Orlando and Miami are always the most popular vacation destinations, but there are quite literally dozens and…

Famous for its upscale Copacabana Beach, unique mix of sprawling concrete jungle and actual jungle, and thriving comunidades, Rio is Brazil’s most sought-after tourist destination, but it can be particularly hard on the wallet if you’re not willing to compromise on comfort and safety. Some of the cheapest four-star hotels in the most touristy parts of town are over $100 in…

Bali was voted the top island in Asia for a reason, but it’s certainly not without its flaws or controversies. Bali tourists absolutely love it here and can be very protective of its image. The 2024 version is far removed from the romanticized Eat Pray Love portrayal as a far-flung destination to go off and find yourself. Bali…
