Am I an expert on honeymoons or romantic retreats? Definitely not. Have I even been to all of the places on this list? Nope. But, seeing as how it’s Valentine’s Day and love is apparently in the air, I got to thinking about some of the places that I picture as being romantic; places that I would only want to visit again (or for the first time) with a significant other at my side. Here, then, are the most romantic places I can think of …Read more…
When people begin planning winter vacations that don’t involve skiing, Canada probably isn’t likely to be at the top of their lists. Unless they want to hit the mountains for some fresh powder, most people gravitate toward warm destinations during the chilly, grey winter months. I know I usually do. But this year I decided to try something a little different. Instead of using my winter vacation to head south for the tropics, I went north — to Ottawa. I’ll admit that Canada’s capital city …Read more…
Canada’s capital may not be known for its dining scene, but that doesn’t mean that a food-lover can’t enjoy spending time in Ottawa. During my brief stay in Ottawa, I ate a lot of food — and a lot of food that’s iconic to this Canadian city. “Iconic” doesn’t necessarily mean fancy or expensive, however. In fact, the 3 things I’m going to call “must-eats” in Ottawa are more snacks than anything. But I’m no food snob. These are the sorts of random things I seek …Read more…
I know, I know. You’re probably saying to yourself, “What could there possibly be to do in Las Vegas that doesn’t involve gambling and/or alcohol?” Well, the truth is, a lot! Most people go to Sin City for the casinos, the party atmosphere, and the potential for lots of debauchery. But Las Vegas doesn’t have to be all about shotgun weddings and pool parties if you don’t want it to be. It can actually be a really fun (and really affordable!) destination for people of …Read more…
The small Southwestern town of Sedona is not know as being the most affordable place to visit in Arizona. According to a cost of living index, the cost of living in Sedona is roughly 10% higher than the Arizona average, and 13% higher than the national average in America. Which suggests that it’s probably not a very budget-friendly destination for travelers. But, despite Sedona’s expensive restaurants, golf clubs and hotel rooms, it IS possible to visit this beautiful town and not burn a hole in …Read more…
“There’s no place like Rome.” That was the motto of my first (and only, so far) trip to Italy, back in 2005. That trip was a one-week performance tour with my university marching band to not only the Eternal City, but also to Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. But it was really Rome that all of us were looking forward to. Most Americans begin learning about Rome as early as elementary school. We learn about gladiator fights in the Colosseum, the various emperors who ruled …Read more…
I feel like I, as a young traveler, am always turning to other young travelers for lessons and tips on the best ways to see and experience the world. Where should I stay in Bangkok? What’s the best way to get around New Zealand? How much money should I really budget for a summer in Europe? What should I do, see, try in this or that locale? It’s the whole reason we travel bloggers carry on with blogging for so long — we hope to …Read more…
Picture this: A twisting, turning, terrifyingly narrow canyon looms in front of you. You’re shooting toward it in a large red boat, going more than 80 kph. And, once you pass through the jagged canyon walls, the boat pulls a 360-degree turn in the middle of the river. No, it’s not a scene out of an action flick — this is just another ride on the Shotover Jet. For the past 40 years, Queenstown’s Shotover Jet has been thrilling millions of adventure seekers from around …Read more…
I know not everyone is a fan of guided tours. In fact, among the travel community, many people look down upon those who would choose a guided tour over going it alone, arguing that dependence on a tour guide makes the experience in a place less “authentic.” Well, I’m not sure I agree. Just like with most other things in travel, I think guided tours have their place. Admittedly, they aren’t for everybody, and a good guided tour depends a lot on the people running …Read more…
