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
One of the greatest things you can do as a parent is plan a weekend away with friends who also have kids. You get built-in playdates, everyone can share the cooking and childcare, and the fact that it’s not your home means no one feels the pressure of hosting. But the trick to pulling off
Not all business-class seats are created equal. Some have sliding doors, others have privacy panels. On some planes, you may have to step over a neighbor to reach the aisle. Even planes from the same airline can have differing configurations. Some flights serve caviar and pricey Champagne while others rely on a more basic no-frills
With the holidays on the horizon and ski resorts preparing to open their doors (and lifts), now’s the time to plan where you’ll stay when ski season hits full swing. With many destinations—from Montana’s Big Sky to Idaho’s Sun Valley—requiring advance lift reservations this year, the smartest snow-seeking travelers are locking in their dates and
Skip to main content Here's where to stay in the Catalan capital. Grand Hotel Central Barcelona is home to plenty of diverse, historic architecture, from the ever-extending towers of Gaudí’s Sagrada Família to the art-laden halls of the Picasso museum, but perhaps often overlooked is the architecture of the places where guests can spend the
Some Airbnbs you book for the location, others you book for spectacular amenities—like the private pool or luxe hot tub.

Yes, it has crystal-clear rivers, snow-dusted peaks, a glittering Ionian shoreline, and ancient UNESCO heritage sites galore, but it’s
A trip to Disneyland is on plenty of travelers’ bucket lists, especially for theme park fans and families looking to soak up the magic of Walt Disney’s original park.

I used to hate renting apartments from websites like Airbnb or VRBO. As a solo traveler, I preferred the social atmosphere of hostels. You met people, hostels ran activities and they were where you were “supposed to stay” as a backpacker. When I did want something other than a hostel, I used a hospitality network
I love road trips. You get in car and can just head off anywhere you want. There’s a freedom to a road trip that you can’t get with trains (and, don’t get me wrong, I love train travel too). Small towns, beautiful parks, historic buildings….whatever you see, you can stop for and can stay as
There’s a lot of walking tour companies in Paris. I’ve taken hundreds (I’ve reviewed my favorite tour companies in this post). Besides formal tours, there’s another thing I love to do in Paris: Airbnb Experiences. Airbnb Experiences are like the holy grail of tours: they are unique, off-the-beaten path, and run by locals who just
