I think those who don’t suffer from wanderlust are missing a gene that the rest of us travel lovers were either born or developed along the way. But I’m no scientist, so I did some digging to see if I’m onto something with this theory.
Fall weather can be tricky—sometimes it’s warmer than it’s supposed to be, sometimes it’s colder than you signed up for at this point in the year. So when it comes to fall travel, it’s important to pack things that work well in layers and will come through whichever way the weather swings.
It’s about that time. Holiday time, which is either one of two things for most people: the most wonderful time of the year or the most dreaded time of the year. But even if you like the holidays, the travel that comes with it isn’t always the travel that has us counting down the days on our calendar and getting excited about all of the things we’re going to do.
Salzburg could easily be one of the prettiest cities in Europe. There’s something about the Austrian city that makes you feel like you’re in a European fairytale, or The Sound of Music, which is kind of the same thing.

When you ask a foreigner—or TripAdvisor—what’s the best beach in Grenada, most signs will probably point to Grand Anse. But there are so many other beaches that prove less popular is just what we want sometimes.
Since Instagram is my favorite idle hobby, I’ve practiced and explored and tried to figure out all the best ways to take better Instagram photos. There’s always more to learn, but I’ve figured at least a few things out.
The same islands tend to make best lists over and over again. But this world’s got a lot of island beauty that no one ever talks about.
There are so many places in the world that we’ve either never heard of, never heard said out loud or have just spent our entire lives thinking the way we say it is the way to say it.
The thing about travel is it’s meant to free you. Make you feel liberated, alive, inspired. It’s meant to be new, an experience that’s different from what you normally experience. So…if you do the same things you always do when you travel, you may be cheating yourself out of everything that adventure could be.
