Destinations

Set on the Ping river, this buzzing little city in central Thailand is home to a set of breathtaking ancient ruins. So why do so few people visit?

Odds are, unless you are Chilean or on an unlimited trip, you wouldn’t necessarily visit Valdivia. Here’s what we found when we spent a few days there earlier this year.

Discovering Montreal’s public bicycle rental system made exploring the city so much easier! We had 24 hours to see Montreal’s main sights and neighborhoods and cycling in Montreal is a breeze!

This weekly series focuses on budget accommodation gems we discover while on the road. This week: El Cortijo del Lago on the peaceful Lake Yojoa in Honduras.

Join me on a culinary tour of Lombardy and Veneto, the two regions in northern Italy I visited this year. You’ll be surprised how much more there is than pizza and pasta!

The Via Amerina is an ancient Roman road that brings you from Assisi to Rome, passing through the rolling hills of Umbria and walking through small Italian towns…

Looking for an exquisite place to stay in Playa del Carmen? My recommendation: the wonderful, luxurious beachside Grand Hyatt Resort in the heart of Playa.

The second part of my walk along the ancient Via Amerina to Rome. We’re now in Latium, getting closer to the papal audience in Rome, our final destination.

If you’re traveling on a budget and are visiting Brighton, I highly recommend the YHA Hostel Brighton. A fabulous new hostel located right by the beach!

Being on the road 365 days a year, we have stayed at some of the world’s best, and worst, hotels. Our Hotel Tip of the Week series offers accommodation recommendations for both budget and luxury hotels we have stayed in and personally recommend. This week: Hotel Elysée, Midtown Manhattan New York.
