Heading to Skiathos and Skopelos? These are all the Mamma Mia movie locations in Greece. This past summer, Mari and I were dreaming up a girls’ trip to some of Greece’s lesser-known islands with Star Clippers. When we told Aishah we had never seen Mamma Mia, the ultimate celebration of girlhood and Greek wanderlust, she […]
27 We visited New York City with our baby Emma at 7 months old, and it was a blast. We went all over Manhattan, crossed the Statue of Liberty off our bucket list, and did lots of other fun things. Will she remember it? Probably not. But we will, and we’ll be able to tell […]
Tokyo is one of those cities that feels endlessly deep. You can visit a dozen times and still discover new food stalls, hidden shrines, late-night bars, quirky subcultures, and neighborhoods that feel like completely different worlds. (I know because I’ve visited about 10 times already!) One of my favorite ways to explore Tokyo is by […]
Looking for the best sunglasses for travel? Here are our faves, including some game-changer accessories. When you travel, you should avoid bringing your nicest sunglasses. Early on, I didn’t heed the warnings and ended up dropping my favorite pair. RIP. Now, I have a pair that stays safely nestled in our car and another to […]
185 The latest place in Indonesia that’s been compared to Jurassic Park is Nuca Molas, a little island off the coast of Flores with wild and exotic scenery. It’s well worth a visit if you’re road tripping through Flores, going to Komodo, or planning to visit the nearby village of Wae Rebo. The scenery on […]
I’m a sucker for a good travel rewards card. Over the years, I’ve collected a small handful of them — not because I love juggling annual fees, but because the right cards can save you a lot of money on flights, hotels, and travel perks you’d otherwise pay out of pocket for. Not only do […]
Paddle Ridge We stayed at Paddle Ridge, a great home base for our adventures in and near Glacier National Park. They have cabins and lodge rooms with beautiful mountain views. We had a suite in the lodge with a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and full kitchen. If we had stayed longer, we would have cooked […]
76 If you only have one day in Mongolia, how should you spend it? What are the best things to see and do near Ulaanbaatar? I faced this question recently when I had a very short stay in the country after traveling in China. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to see more of Mongolia, […]
This is a guest post by Raimee Iacofano from Raimeetravel. Growing up in Michigan, Ludington was THE place to be. Every summer, my family would pack up the car, blast some classic rock (think Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, and the occasional Lynyrd Skynyrd singalong), and head west for beach days, lighthouse climbs, and the BEST […]
Was it worth the Price? This is not your average hotel stay. It’s a bucket list destination in itself, at least for us, who are not the Kardashians or the Zuckerbergs of the world. Whether it’s worth the spend depends solely on you. I saw photos of it years ago and knew I would want […]
