Posted: 9/15/2023 | September 15th, 2023 Edinburgh is fabulous. Famed for its beauty, museums, castle, historic university, and literary past, it’s also a moody city but with a cozy feel. I think Edinburgh is a magical destination, from the pubs with live music to the cafés where you just want...
Posted: 9/15/2023 | September 15th, 2023 Seville is gorgeous. It’s full of beautiful architecture and is considered the artistic, cultural, and financial capital of southern Spain. Known for its flamenco dancing and its unique blend of European and Islamic style, it’s a popular stop along the main tourist trail around...
Posted: 9/15/2023 | September 15th, 2023 Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded over 5,000 years ago. And while it is loaded with history, it’s not a stuffy, dusty capital fit only for antiquity buffs. It’s actually a lively, modern place with an incredible food scene...
Last Updated: 9/4/23 | September 4th, 2023 Travel has become really expensive. Post-COVID, the entire world seems to be traveling again and prices just keep rising. I am astonished at how high they have gotten. But it’s a product of rising costs and out of control demand. Everyone just wants...
Posted: 8/31/2023 | August 31st, 2023 Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people were transitioning to remote work. Digital nomads were becoming increasingly common as people quit the cubicle to work from wherever they felt like working from. Today, post-COVID, an even greater number people are working remotely....
Posted: 8/31/2023 | August 31st, 2023 Bilt is one of my favorite travel credit cards. While I have a handful of others in my wallet, Bilt is my go-to for most of my day-to-day spending. Plus, Bilt is still the only credit card that allows you to earn points on...
Posted: 8/31/2023 | August 31st, 2023 Kuala Lumpur is one of my favorite cities in Southeast Asia. It’s a melting pot of influences and cultures (Indian, Chinese, Malay, Western), there’s a ton of activities to do, and has some incredible food. It’s a foodie heaven that I think rivals nearby...
Last Updated: 8/28/23 | August 28th, 2023 Let’s talk about cheap flights. We all know airlines are out to screw us over — and no one wants to be the person who gets stuck paying the highest fare. That’s why we spend hours upon hours researching articles on airfare, trying...
Posted: 8/21/2023 | August 21st, 2023 Lively Dublin is known for its rambunctious pubs, literary scene (William Butler Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, and Samuel Beckett all lived here), Guinness, and live music. Dublin is quite compact and walkable if you stay somewhere central. Most hostels are relatively close together near...
Posted: 8/21/2023 | August 21st, 2023 I love Dublin. As a writer, how could I not? This is a city once home to iconic Nobel laureates like George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats, and Samuel Beckett. It’s the perfect place for cozy cafes and writing. Dublin is home to the...
Posted: 8/14/23 | August 14th, 2023 For most of my travels, I’ve been a hostel guy through and through. And, while I still stay in hostels when I travel, since I run a business from the road, I often need a bit more privacy and quiet than what a hostel...
Posted: 8/12/2023 | August 12th, 2023 Known for its lush forests, active volcanoes, white-sand beaches, and incredible wildlife, Costa Rica is a favorite among travelers. It was the place that ignited my wanderlust (so it holds a special place in my heart). Sandwiched between the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans, this...
Posted: 8/12/2023 | August 12th, 2023 Road trips are one of my favorite ways to explore a country. They give you the freedom to go where you want, travel away from the tourist crowds, and usually even save you money compared to taking trains, buses, or flights. I’ve been on...
Posted: 7/31/23 | July 31st, 2023 Travel insurance isn’t an exciting topic to research. When you’re planning a trip, the last thing you want to do is compare policies about theft and injuries that can occur abroad. But, as I’ve said before, when an emergency strikes, it’s better to be...
Posted: 7/28/2023 | July 28th, 2023 I first visited Florence in 2006. Back then, the hostels weren’t that great. There were just a few that were good (one is actually still around and is still my favorite). Now, there’s a lot of hostel options in Florence, ranging from bare-bones cheap...
Posted: 7/28/2023 | July 28th, 2023 When it comes to choosing a travel credit card, most people balk at paying an annual fee, especially for the premium cards where the fees are $500 or more per year. I get that. When you first start out travel hacking, there’s cheaper options...
Last Updated: 7/27/2023 | July 27th, 2023 As travelers of the world, we have a unique opportunity to break down barriers, foster cultural exchange, and create a positive impact on communities around the world. We can banish stereotypes of our own cultures, stimulate the local economy, and bring fresh ideas...
Posted: 7/21/2023 | July 21st, 2023 Steeped in culture, arts, music, and history, Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. (At least I think so!) The entire historic center of Vienna is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is filled with countless museums and art galleries,...
Last Updated: 7/17/2023 | July 17th, 2023 Planning a trip can be stressful. Where do you start? What’s step one? What’s step two? Will everything work out OK? Is there a best route to take? How figure out what to do? What do you book first? There’s a lot to...
Posted: 7/15/23 | July 15th, 2023 Nashville is more than just a weekend getaway spot. While a lot of people come to party on honky tonk lined Broadway Street, Nashville has way more than a bachlor/bachlorette spot. The Tennessee capital has a decadent dining scene, worthwhile museums, stunning parks, and...
