Besides being home to one of the most esteemed universities in the world, Cambridge is also one of the most charming towns in England. The striking university buildings are packed with history, and the town’s leisurely parks and riverside are perfect for a fun stroll and a picnic. Here are a few spots you shouldn’t miss in Cambridge.

Cambridge University Buildings

Cambridge University dates back to the 12th century. Its various colleges, which are dotted around the city, include examples of the earliest patterned brickwork in England. One of the most remarkable university buildings is King’s College Chapel, renowned for its acoustics and interior.

The Fitzwilliam Museum

The Fitzwilliam boasts a brilliantly diverse collection, including Greek, Roman, and Egyptian antiquities, as well as works by Turner, Hogarth, Van Duck, and Rubens, among countless others. Many consider it the finest small museum in Europe.

The Southwest Region of the U.S.—which includes Louisiana, New Mexico, and Nevada among other states—has its own unique and fascinating culture. Here are some of the foods, sights, and experiences you can only get in the southwest.

Cactus Fries and Chile Sauce

The food in the Southwest is a blend of Mexican and Native American cuisines. One staple of the region is chile sauce, made of Hatch Valley chiles. It comes in green, red, or Christmas (both green and red) variations.

Another popular and distinct Southwestern food is cactus fries or nopales. According to some claims, nopales taste like sour string beans.

Pueblo Revival Atyle Architecture

Many structures in the region resemble the homes of Pueblo natives built before the arrival of the European settlers. They are usually made of sun-dried mud and have thick walls, rounded exteriors, square windows, and heavy wood accents.

Lake Havasu City

Lake Havasu City is a community of 50,000 residents in Arizona. In the summer the temperatures in the area reach well above 100 degrees, making it the hottest place in the US. Southwesterners like to stay in Lake Havasu City for the waterfront and the hiking trails.

The Burning of Zozobra

Every Labor Day, the city of Santa Fe builds a 50-foot figure known as Zozobra out of cloth, wire, and wood. People stuff Zozobra with printed letters describing their worries and fears. The figure is then burned, and people watch all their suffering go up in flames as well.

Packing can be a daunting task, even for the most seasoned traveler. To reduce pre-travel stress and make the whole packing process smoother, we’ve gathered some great tips that will make your life easier. Have you tried any of these before?

Roll Your Clothes

Rolling your clothes instead of folding them will both maximize the space in your suitcase, and also prevent your clothes from wrinkling. Reserve the classic layer fold for more delicate items.

Use Packing Cubes

Packing cubes can really help you organize your luggage. They come in different sizes, so you can get one for tops, one for bottoms, one for swimwear, etc.

Use Shower Caps for Footwear

One trick to prevent the dirty soles of your shoes from touching the rest of your clothes is placing them inside shower caps. And as a side packing hack, you can also stuff things into your shoes (like socks) to utilize your luggage space!

2:1 Shirts to Pants Ratio

It’s tricky deciding how many clothes to bring, so try this rule of thumb. To avoid overpacking, pack two tops for pair of bottoms
After all, you’re more likely to wear the same pair of jeans rather than your T-shirt. Right?

Keep Your Luggage Smelling Fresh

Especially when we’re traveling, we all want our clothes to smell like they’re fresh out of the laundry, instead of that weird luggage smell. Try placing some dryer sheets in your luggage to keep your clothes smelling clean and fresh.

Traveling in an RV has shot up in popularity during the pandemic, as it’s a great way to stay self-sufficient while still traveling and going on adventures. But hitting the road for weeks or even months at a time can get expensive. Here are a few tips on saving a few pennies while traveling in an RV.

Take Advantage Of the Kitchen

Traveling in an RV literally lets you bring a kitchen along for the ride. Make sure to stock up on long-lasting groceries such as frozen, canned, and dried food; Cereal, beans, rice, and frozen pizzas; lots of local fruits and veggies form wherever you’re passing through. You can also buy meats like pork and turkey if you have the option of freezing them so they don’t go bad.

Shop Around for Fuel

Besides the vehicle itself, fuel is often the next biggest expense for RV travelers. To save as much as possible on fuel, use an app like GasBuddy to see which station in your area is offering the most affordable fuel. Note that not every gas station is set up for a big RV to get into and out of easily, so you should always have a backup station in mind.

Invest in a National Park Pass

If you’re traveling within the U.S. and plan on exploring some of the county’s national parks, investing in a National Park Pass can save you a lot of money. Priced at $80 a year, this pass grants access to more than 2000 national parks and it covers standard amenities fees for adults (they are free for children under 15).

The coronavirus pandemic definitely made us more aware of sanitation and the presence of germs on different surfaces. While most experts agree that the risk of Covid-19 exposure on planes is relatively low due to air filtration systems, many have cautioned spending time in airports carries more risk. Here are some of the germiest spots at airports.

Chair Armrests

One of the sites that are most frequently touched but not routinely cleaned is the armrests on chairs in the terminal waiting areas. Consider wiping down the armrests with a sanitary wipe if you’d like to sit down, and avoid sitting on the floor, as it’s even dirtier.

Handrails

Handrails are another high-touch area that is infrequently cleaned. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t touch them, but be mindful, and remember to wash your hands afterward. It’s best to carry hand sanitizer for times when you don’t have access to soap and water.

Security Bins

A 2018 study found that the plastic trays and bins in the security area pose “the highest potential risk” in terms of the presence of viruses in the airport. Some airports started to implement new security bin technologies to ensure a cleaner experience, but there is still a long way to go.

Touch Screens

The self-check-in monitors are probably one of the dirtiest spots in an airport. They are cleaned rarely if ever, so make sure to use sanitizer after touching them.

Prague is one of the most esthetically pleasing destinations in Europe, full of culture and history. The city has more districts and neighborhoods than can be counted on two hands, each with its own distinct characters. Here are our top choices for neighborhoods to explore and stay in in the Czech capital.

Mala Strana

Tucked beneath the Prague Castle is Mala Strana or the small quarter. Besides Petrin park and St. Nicholas Church, the streets are lined with historic buildings, shops, and restaurants. The quaint atmosphere makes it a lovely place to stay, but note that as it’s at the heart of the city, prices can be steep.

Nove Mesto

Just minutes from Old Town by foot, Nove Mesto, or New Town is always buzzing with its many clubs, shops, and restaurants. Sleeping and dining options are less touristy than in neighboring Old Town, which makes prices friendlier too.

Vinohrady

Vinohrady is a trendy residential area rich in pretty parks, beer gardens, cafes, and lovely architecture. Its charm and close proximity to the center make it the residence of choice for many ex-pats.

Karlin

A bit off the beaten path, Karlin district is located in Prague 8, but don’t let that deter you. Rucked between the Vltava River and Vítkov Hill, this cute neighborhood is home to locals’ favorite cafes, restaurants, and bars and will give you a glimpse into authentic Prague life.

Driving down the iconic Pacific Coast Highway is a road-trip bucket list. While the drive itself is stunning, you’d be missing out if you don’t make a stop at some of the beautiful coastal towns along the way, and particularly Monterey. Here are a few of the reasons a weekend in Monterey is totally worth it.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Walking into the Monterey Bay Aquarium is like entering a magical indoor ocean. Home to more than 700 varieties of marine animals from Monterey Bay, this massive facility is the best place to see and learn about the marine life of coastal California. The aquarium is located at the end of Monterey’s historic Cannery Row, the city’s main tourist stretch.

Point Lobos State Reserve

While not technically in the town of Monterey, we couldn’t skip this stunning reserve. Full of forests, sea cliffs, wildflowers, and tide pools, Point Lobos State Reserve is easily home to the most amazing views in central California.

Pacific Grove

Located just two miles from Monterey, this picturesque town is known as the Butterfly Capital of the world. Monarch butterflies arrive here by the thousands starting in October, peaking around Christmas and departing by March every year.

Bixby Bridge

About halfway between downtown Monterey and the entrance to Big Sur, it the picturesque Bixby Creek Bridge, which you probably recognize from its many appearances in film, TV, and commercials.

Brazil’s national parks hold some of the most spectacular and unique ecosystems and cultures in the world. With all that richness to choose from, starting to plan your trip can be daunting. Here’s our rundown of Brazil’s best national parks.

Iguaçu National Park

This national park is home to one of the world’s most famous waterfalls, which the park is also named after. The Iguaçu Falls are part of the largest waterfall system in the world. Both the Argentine and Brazilian sides are declared as Unesco World Heritage Sites.

Tijuca National Park

Just northwest of Copacabana you will find Tijuca National Park. This beautiful Atlantic rainforest is full of mountains, waterfalls, and caves worth exploring, but most people will recognize it as the home of the iconic Cristo Redentor, whose open arms embrace the city below.

Serra dos Órgãos National Park

Serra dos Órgãos National Park is an expansive reserve defined by a series of uniquely shaped peaks. This is the best park for those who love hiking—you can go on a three-day trek that connects the nearby town of Petrópolis and Teresópolis. The park is only an hour’s drive from Rio de Janeiro, making it a convenient weekend trip destination.

Rhinos are fascinating animals and one of the most threatened species on the planet. These animals have been hunted for centuries because their horns are believed to contain healing properties and therefore are worth a fortune. Poaching is still a major problem in Africa, despite the efforts of local conservations. If you want to see rhinos in their natural habitat, here are the best places to do so.

South Africa

Two of the areas with the greatest population of white rhinos are Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park and Kruger National Park in South Africa. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a rare black rhino as well.

Namibia

The Darmaland region in western Namibia is home to the largest population of free-roaming black rhino in East Africa. Plamwag Reserve and Etosha National Park are the places to go for rhino spotting. The highest chance of actually seeing them is during the dry season (from April to October) when the rhinos come to drink at the waterholes.

Kenya

Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the Laikipia region of Kenya is the largest black rhino sanctuary. Local communities and private landowners have joined forces to create a massive conservation area for wildlife to roam free, away from the dangers of hunters and poachers.

Prague is one of the most esthetically pleasing destinations in Europe, full of culture and history. The city has more districts and neighborhoods than can be counted on two hands, each with its own distinct characters. Here are our top choices for neighborhoods to explore and stay in in the Czech capital.

Mala Strana

Tucked beneath the Prague Castle is Mala Strana or the small quarter. Besides Petrin park and St. Nicholas Church, the streets are lined with historic buildings, shops, and restaurants. The quaint atmosphere makes it a lovely place to stay, but note that as it’s at the heart of the city, prices can be steep.

Nove Mesto

Just minutes from Old Town by foot, Nove Mesto, or New Town is always buzzing with its many clubs, shops, and restaurants. Sleeping and dining options are less touristy than in neighboring Old Town, which makes prices friendlier too.

Vinohrady

Vinohrady is a trendy residential area rich in pretty parks, beer gardens, cafes, and lovely architecture. Its charm and close proximity to the center make it the residence of choice for many ex-pats.

Karlin

A bit off the beaten path, Karlin district is located in Prague 8, but don’t let that deter you. Rucked between the Vltava River and Vítkov Hill, this cute neighborhood is home to locals’ favorite cafes, restaurants, and bars and will give you a glimpse into authentic Prague life.

Driving down the iconic Pacific Coast Highway is a road-trip bucket list. While the drive itself is stunning, you’d be missing out if you don’t make a stop at some of the beautiful coastal towns along the way, and particularly Monterey. Here are a few of the reasons a weekend in Monterey is totally worth it.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Walking into the Monterey Bay Aquarium is like entering a magical indoor ocean. Home to more than 700 varieties of marine animals from Monterey Bay, this massive facility is the best place to see and learn about the marine life of coastal California. The aquarium is located at the end of Monterey’s historic Cannery Row, the city’s main tourist stretch.

Point Lobos State Reserve

While not technically in the town of Monterey, we couldn’t skip this stunning reserve. Full of forests, sea cliffs, wildflowers, and tide pools, Point Lobos State Reserve is easily home to the most amazing views in central California.

Pacific Grove

Located just two miles from Monterey, this picturesque town is known as the Butterfly Capital of the world. Monarch butterflies arrive here by the thousands starting in October, peaking around Christmas and departing by March every year.

Bixby Bridge

About halfway between downtown Monterey and the entrance to Big Sur, it the picturesque Bixby Creek Bridge, which you probably recognize from its many appearances in film, TV, and commercials.

Brazil’s national parks hold some of the most spectacular and unique ecosystems and cultures in the world. With all that richness to choose from, starting to plan your trip can be daunting. Here’s our rundown of Brazil’s best national parks.

Iguaçu National Park

This national park is home to one of the world’s most famous waterfalls, which the park is also named after. The Iguaçu Falls are part of the largest waterfall system in the world. Both the Argentine and Brazilian sides are declared as Unesco World Heritage Sites.

Tijuca National Park

Just northwest of Copacabana you will find Tijuca National Park. This beautiful Atlantic rainforest is full of mountains, waterfalls, and caves worth exploring, but most people will recognize it as the home of the iconic Cristo Redentor, whose open arms embrace the city below.

Serra dos Órgãos National Park

Serra dos Órgãos National Park is an expansive reserve defined by a series of uniquely shaped peaks. This is the best park for those who love hiking—you can go on a three-day trek that connects the nearby town of Petrópolis and Teresópolis. The park is only an hour’s drive from Rio de Janeiro, making it a convenient weekend trip destination.

Rhinos are fascinating animals and one of the most threatened species on the planet. These animals have been hunted for centuries because their horns are believed to contain healing properties and therefore are worth a fortune. Poaching is still a major problem in Africa, despite the efforts of local conservations. If you want to see rhinos in their natural habitat, here are the best places to do so.

South Africa

Two of the areas with the greatest population of white rhinos are Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park and Kruger National Park in South Africa. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a rare black rhino as well.

Namibia

The Darmaland region in western Namibia is home to the largest population of free-roaming black rhino in East Africa. Plamwag Reserve and Etosha National Park are the places to go for rhino spotting. The highest chance of actually seeing them is during the dry season (from April to October) when the rhinos come to drink at the waterholes.

Kenya

Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the Laikipia region of Kenya is the largest black rhino sanctuary. Local communities and private landowners have joined forces to create a massive conservation area for wildlife to roam free, away from the dangers of hunters and poachers.
