Traveling is eye-opening, fun, and breathtaking, but let’s face it: It can be hard on the wallet. So while we’d love to jet off to the Maldives for a two-week stay at an expensive resort, or go on an around-the-world cruise, that’s not always doable. For a minute though, we suspended disbelief to imagine where…
To-do lists get a bad wrap, but we have one that everyone can get behind. As travel experts, we are constantly crisscrossing the globe — checking off destinations from our bucket list — for both business and pleasure. We’ve gone dog sledding in Alaska, flown hot air balloons over Dubai, navigated the crowded streets of…
Travelers who venture to Patagonia have to be more mindful of seasonal changes than most visitors to South America.

Whatever your reason for hitting the road,…
The Maldives are already feeling major impacts of climate change. On June 1, 2017, Donald Trump announced that the United States would be leaving the Paris Agreement. While the accord certainly wasn’t perfect, it took concrete steps to curb the world’s reliance on fossil fuels, thus reducing the climate altering emissions trapped within the earth’s…
This year, when your loved ones inevitably ask you what you want for your birthday, don’t default to the predictable options like a sweater or a spa day — unless it’s a thermal spa in Japan, of course. Think outside of the department-store gift box and treat yourself to an unforgettable present — an experience…
If the possibility of seeing lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) gets your heart pumping in an excited way, there are several places to spot these wondrous animals outside of city zoos. National parks provide a true glimpse at how mammals and birds live in the wild, from arid desert landscapes to mountainous regions with…
