Share The Article There’s a smorgasbord of reasons why some of Europe’s most iconic beach destinations have given travelers pause before officially making plans. Between unsightly crowds and anti-tourism protests in hugely popular destinations, many of us now feel like we’re scouring an atlas with a magnifying glass, hunting for places without hordes of vacationers […]
Share The Article With its year-round warmer temps, laid-back culture, amazing food, and of course, easily-obtained expat visas that make it that much simpler for Americans to relocate, it’s hardly a shocker that Portugal is Europe’s top digital nomad country right now. Croatia may have been the first EU nation to launch a Digital Nomad Visa (DNV), all the […]
Share The Article We talk a lot about safety in terms of crime or scams, but the quickest way to ruin a vacation isn’t a pickpocket—it’s the tap water. Trust me, I made this mistake ONCE in Mexico and vowed to never let it happen again. The U.S. State Department and CDC maintain active warnings […]
Share The Article Let’s face it, as beautiful as those Mediterranean beaches may be, and as jaw-dropping as alpine peaks are, the primary reason why millions of travelers flock into Europe year in, year out is not the continent’s natural wonders: We’re here for the ancient culture, baby. Cobblestone streets that look like they’ve barely […]
Share The Article White sands stretching as far as the horizon, seas of the turquoise-most blue, and all the fresh fruit and delicious empanadas you can get your hands on: ahem, cue the voice: in classic Jet2 style… ‘nothing beats a Caribbean holiday!‘. Be that as it may, the constant bombardment of Cancun adds, or […]
Share The Article While the masses fight for that perfect pool chair in Cancun, a new wave of travelers is quietly heading to the “Next Big Things.” Let’s be real: the big resort towns lost a level of authenticity a decade ago. If you are looking for better value, fewer crowds, and places that haven’t […]
Share The Article Let’s address the obvious… “Sunny” does not mean “warm.” You can get a sunburn in Denver in January while your toes go numb. I’m tired of seeing lists that suggest places like Charleston as winter escapes. Sure, they have charm, but when a cold front hits in February, you’ll be shivering in […]
Share The Article Enough with the Barcelonas, Amalfis, and Santorinis of the world. If you’re dreaming of a Mediterranean getaway in 2026, but you’ve had it with the usual over-promoted, over-commercialized tourism hotspots where prices have gone through the roof, the crowds are insane, and locals aren’t even that nice to you, we’ve got just […]
Share The Article The “best” beach in the world isn’t the one with the whitest sand or the clearest water. It’s the one you can actually get to without a 34-hour nightmare itinerary involving three layovers, a terminal sprint in Vienna, and a lost suitcase (looking at you Austrian 👀). Friction is the enemy of […]
Share The Article The Caribbean gets talked about like it’s one big interchangeable beach… but anyone who’s ever planned a trip down there knows that’s not how it works. One island is basically a rainforest gym membership (with hot springs as your post-hike reward). Another is pure “how is this real?” scenery. Another is the […]
