Generally our thoughts are consumed by the mantra “location, location, location” when we’re booking a hotel. After all — especially when traveling abroad — it makes sense that visitors would want to capitalize on their time by staying in a centrally-located hotel, within easy reach of the destination’s many sights, shops, and restaurants. But there’s…
We just got back from an amazinggg trip to Venice. Of course we had been before, but this time felt particularly special as we ambled along the canals and stepped into the little shops and markets we love. And another thing that set this trip apart from all others is that we visited tons of…
Calling all adrenaline junkies!

As we’ve said before, a vacation just isn’t a vacation without delicious food and delicious views. And when you can have both together, well, that’s a match made in culinary heaven. Back in August, we gave you a peak at five hotel restaurants with scrumptious food set against amazing backdrops — and now we add…
Well, the time has finally come! We’re in the last stretch of humanity as we know it (according to the ancient Mayan calendar, at least), and we’re searching the globe for the best places on earth to spend our final days — or day as the case may be. We’ve visited every (habitable) continent and…
There are plenty of different ways to travel in Europe – from shoestring-budget trips to over-the-top getaways worthy of the British royals. Here at Oyster we’ve been lucky enough to be able to do both (seriously, the budget hotels in Europe are pretty nice!), but the holidays are for wishing and dreaming, so we’re going…
