Although still relatively unvisited compared to neighboring countries Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, Laos is starting to gain more popularity as a travel destination. It’s easy to see why: Laos has a variety of activities, beautiful scenery, and low prices. I loved traveling throughout the country, and I hope this Laos travel guide puts it on […]
Out of all the foods in the world, rice is one of my least favorite things to eat. It ranks right up there with fruitcake and SPAM. I avoid it as much as possible, but in Laos, rice is life. They eat it breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so I figured I might as well make an effort
Snow is underrated. While everyone else is racing to warm and tropical destinations on their winter getaways, I layer up my long underwear, hide some hand warmers inside my mittens, and embrace the cold. Vieux Quebec (“Old Quebec”) oozes charm all year-round, but a layer of snow transforms it into something magical. The cobblestone streets
Every year, there’s a country or two that captures my interest more than the others I’ve visited. After spending 10 days in Laos, my reaction is that I simply want to explore even more of this small nation. I only had time to visit three cities, but I had one fascinating experience after another.

This guest post is by Karisa of Flirting With the Globe. Machu Picchu is high on most travelers’ bucket lists, and if you’ve ever seen a picture of the majestic Inca city, it’s pretty obvious why. For me, I knew that Peru would be the first South American country I planned to explore. I found
With all due respect to Belgium, Brussels isn’t one of my favorite cities. Their beer is fantastic, but that was the highlight of my 2007 visit. My return in June 2014 was a little better since I basically ate my weight in chocolate, but still, it’s not a city I have any desire to return
Before a trip, I research the best places to visit, local foods to try, and unique activities I don’t want to miss. All this planning helps me craft the trip that fits best for me. But sometimes, I just happen to get lucky…like when I’m in Mexico for El Grito and the beginning celebrations of Mexican Independence

Early in a September morning, the Celebrity Millennium docked in Skagway. The year was 2009 and I was having the absolute time of my life cruising through Alaska. I was traveling solo — a rarity on cruise ships — but the trip was already the best vacation I’d ever taken, and I was only halfway through the sailing. Even though
