Posted: 5/30/24 | May 30th, 2024 London is one of my favorite cities in the world. I’ve been visiting regularly since 2008 and never get tired of exploring the city. There are tons of amazing (and free) museums, a lively pub culture, and an incredible food scene that keeps me coming back for seconds. But […]

Posted 5/24/24 | May 24th, 2024 I never leave home without travel insurance. After over 15 years on the road, I’ve learned firsthand how important it is. Not only has it helped me deal with lost luggage, canceled flights, and medical emergencies, but it’s helped countless friends and readers of my blog too. However, travel […]

Posted: 5/28/24 | May 28th, 2024 Located in Northern Italy, Bologna is considered one of the food capitals of Italy. And given Italy’s culinary reputation, that must be saying something. Food is what draws most visitors here (it’s what drew me there). I had heard it’s the place for foodies in Italy and I was […]

Posted: Hanoi is Vietnam’s vibrant capital city. It’s also one of its main travel hubs (most visitors either start or end their trip here). While I didn’t love my first trip to Vietnam, the country is one of the most affordable in the region, brimming with amazing eats and stunning natural beauty. It’s also easy […]

Posted: 5/23/2024 | May 23rd, 2024 Scotland is a rugged and beautiful country that’s perfect for exploring on a road trip. The craggy coasts, placid lochs, and rolling hills make it a dream to discover. There are countless historic castles, iconic distilleries, and postcard-perfect islands at your fingertips. I absolutely love Scotland. It’s stunningly beautiful […]

Posted: 5/20/24 | May 20th, 2024 Toronto is a sprawling metropolis known for its diversity. Over half of the city’s residents were born outside of the country, making it one of the most multicultural cities in the world. There’s not just a Chinatown and Little Italy here, but also a Greektown, Koreatown, Little India, Little […]

Posted: 5/16/24 | May 16th, 2024 I love visiting San Francisco. It boasts amazing food (especially in Chinatown, Japantown, and the Mission), lots of gorgeous hiking trails, and plenty of top-notch attractions that make passing the time here a breeze (don’t miss visiting Alcatraz during your visit!). While it’s not very big, choosing the right […]

Posted: 5/13/2024 | May 13th, 2024 Croatia has been a bustling tourist hot spot for six or seven years now. Shaped like a boomerang and bordering Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia, this small country of four million people punches well above its weight. You can spend time relaxing on the sunny Adriatic Sea, hop between […]

Posted: 5/13/2024 | May 13th, 2024 Famously known as “the Second City” (meaning second in population to New York), I feel like Chicago is often overlooked by travelers. It sees a fraction of the visitors LA and NYC receive, which is a shame, as it’s one of my favorite cities in the world. Chicago is […]
