Pardon My French

Fans of cozy Parisian bistros will enjoy this local spot in the East Village. The restaurant offers a beautiful garden patio where diners can enjoy delicious french cuisine, wine, and a decadent weekend brunch menu.

Jack’s Wife Freda

Fans who enjoy outdoor brunch will appreciate this dining experience with a Middle Eastern inspired menu. This place is a cult favorite for a reason, offering menu staples such as avocado toast and shakshuka that are customer favorites.

With promises of hassle-free planning and one up-front payment, an all-inclusive resort sounds like a dream. But does the reality live up to the brochure pictures? Let’s dive into the world of all-inclusive resorts to see if they truly deliver bang for your buck.

The Seamless Experience

For many, the allure of an all-inclusive resort is in its seamless nature. You land, you check in, and you indulge. For families, this can be particularly appealing. You’re at a beautiful resort where the kids are off enjoying a supervised activity, you’re lounging by the beach with a cocktail in hand, and later, you’ll all meet for dinner without worrying about the bill. 

The Flip Side

However, it’s not all sunsets and smooth sailing. Staying within the confines of a resort can sometimes mean you’re isolated from the local scenes that can make travel so enriching. Think about it—dining out in local eateries, exploring little artisan shops, and interacting with residents are experiences that often create the most lasting memories. 

So, is it Worth It?

Deciding if an all-inclusive resort is worth the price really comes down to what type of traveler you are and what you want out of your vacation. If you’re looking for a truly carefree getaway where relaxation and convenience are your top priorities, then yes, going all-inclusive could be well worth every penny.

Are you dreaming of a getaway to the picturesque lavender fields of Southern France? There’s something utterly magical about the sight and scent of lavender as far as the eye can see. To catch this natural wonder in full bloom, it’s all about perfect timing. Here’s a quick guide to help you out. 

Late June

Starting in late June, the lavender begins to bloom, and the fields start to show their purple hues. This is a great time to visit if you want to avoid the larger crowds that July attracts. The weather is generally warm and pleasant, and the early blooms are fresh and bright.

July

July is the prime month for lavender viewing. The fields are in full bloom, creating a spectacular backdrop for photographs and leisurely walks. Visiting in mid-July offers the chance to see the lavender at its peak. Additionally, many festivals and events centered around lavender, such as the famous Lavender Festival in Valensole, take place during this month.

August

By early August, the lavender harvest begins, but you can still catch the late blooms. This is the tail end of the season, so visiting during this time can be a gamble. However, it’s still possible to find fields in bloom, especially those harvested later.

These pyramids are architectural marvels, showcasing the incredible engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians.

Converting a van is such an exciting project to embark on. Having a vehicle that you can drive anywhere and sleep for the night is a super fun way to travel and explore the world, and converting a van yourself means you can choose exactly how you want it to be. However, there is so much to think about when planning this out. Here are some ideas that help make the most of the space and give a lovely cozy feel. 

Slide Out Shelves

This is an amazing way to make the most of the space you have. You can have one that comes out of the back which can be used for your kitchen space, or have overhead ones for extra storage. 

Multi-Purpose Items

Another great way to use the space most efficiently is to have items that serve multiple functions. For example, you could have a sofa bench to sit on during the day which then slides out or folds down into a bed at nighttime. 

String Lights

This is a perfect choice for some cozy mood lighting, as they give off a lovely gentle glow but can be placed in whatever way you like, meaning your lighting options are versatile and adaptable. They are easy to put up and remove anytime so are ideal for van life.

Have you ever noticed how often flight attendants offer gum before takeoff or why so many seasoned travelers pop a piece as soon as the plane starts moving? It turns out, there’s a bit of science behind this chewy travel hack. Chewing gum isn’t just about fresh breath—it’s a simple trick to combat that annoying ear discomfort during flights. Let’s take a closer look.

When an airplane ascends or descends, the air pressure in the environment changes rapidly. The cabin of the airplane is pressurized to mitigate these effects, but the pressure still drops as the plane ascends and increases as it descends. This rapid change can lead to a pressure imbalance 

Chewing gum can aid in balancing this pressure. The act of chewing and swallowing repeatedly as you chew stimulates the muscles that open the Eustachian tubes. This action helps facilitate the movement of air in and out of the ears, allowing the pressure on either side of the eardrums to equalize more quickly and efficiently.

Moreover, the increased saliva production and swallowing caused by chewing gum helps to open the Eustachian tubes more frequently. This not only relieves the pressure but also distracts from discomfort by keeping the mouth and jaw active.

Building a travel bucket list is an exciting endeavor, filled with dreams of exploring new destinations and embarking on unforgettable adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned globetrotter or a novice explorer, here are three incredible experiences to add to your travel bucket list, guaranteed to inspire and exhilarate.

Witness the Northern Lights

Few natural phenomena rival the ethereal beauty of the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. Add witnessing this breathtaking spectacle to the top of your travel bucket list for an experience that will leave you in awe. Head to destinations such as Iceland, Norway, Finland, or Canada, known for their prime viewing spots. Gaze skyward as shimmering curtains of green, blue, and purple dance across the night sky, creating a mesmerizing display of cosmic wonder. Whether you choose to admire the Northern Lights from a cozy lodge, a remote wilderness cabin, or a glass igloo beneath the stars, witnessing this celestial phenomenon is an experience you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Trek to Machu Picchu

Hidden amidst the mist-shrouded peaks of the Peruvian Andes lies Machu Picchu, one of the world’s most iconic archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Add trekking to Machu Picchu via the Inca Trail to your travel bucket list for an unforgettable adventure steeped in history and natural beauty. Embark on a multi-day trek through rugged mountain terrain, passing ancient Inca ruins, lush cloud forests, and panoramic vistas of the Sacred Valley below. Finally, arrive at the awe-inspiring citadel of Machu Picchu, where you’ll witness the sun rising over the ancient stone ruins, casting a golden glow upon this mystical masterpiece of Inca engineering and spirituality.

Dive into the Great Barrier Reef

Explore the mesmerizing underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Add diving or snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef to your travel bucket list for an immersive adventure into a kaleidoscope of color and marine biodiversity. Descend beneath the surface to swim among vibrant coral gardens, graceful sea turtles, and an array of exotic fish species.

Scotland is an amazing country, with something to offer everyone. If you’re heading there this spring or summer, don’t miss these stunning seaside towns. From pretty coastal villages to seafront cities, each of these destinations has something unique to offer. The best thing about Scotland is that it is relatively small in size, so if you have your own transport you could even check out all three in one trip.

Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

While not technically a town, Aberdeen is right on the North Sea. This means you can expect plenty of bracing wind and the odd squall of rain, but when the sun is shining you can explore the city’s winding backstreets, its imposing Victorian buildings, and its pretty waterfront areas. Make sure you try some of the locally caught fish while you’re in Aberdeen, as it’s some of the freshest around.

Crail, Fife, Scotland

This charming village is located in the heart of the East Neuk of Fife, a traditional fishing area now known for its pretty villages and coastal paths. Take a wander around the harbor, sample some of the best fish and chips in the UK, and go for a wander along the world-famous coastal path.

Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, Scotland

This charming town is less than an hour away from Glasgow, but it has so much peace and tranquility that its proximity to the city is hard to believe. Enjoy a relaxing ramble along the water, check out the many independent shops, and explore the moorland that rises up from behind the town.

Traveling by van is a super exciting way to explore areas and see the world. Many lovers of the van life are obsessed with nature and love being able to park up in a secluded spot surrounded by stunning sights. However, sometimes when parking in a spot there can be factors that make it better or worse to sleep. Here are some things to look out for when choosing where to park up. 

Are You Sheltered From the Wind?

When you initially park and get out, it may feel like a slight breeze is manageable. Of course, a gentle breeze is, but don’t be too complacent if there is a fair amount of wind around. When you are trying to sleep later, the noise of the wind and the rocking of the van will likely keep you awake much more than you might imagine. 

Are There Houses Nearby?

Sometimes you think you are in the middle of nowhere but it turns out there are some homes just around the corner. Most people would rather not have someone parked up near their house which is fair enough, so make sure to double check you truly are surrounded by nature.

Do You Have a Good View?

Whether it’s of the sunset, or a perfect view of the night sky, having a nice view to enjoy is a big part of the whole experience and good to factor into decisions.

As any frequent traveler probably knows, flights can get quite tedious once you’ve sat on the plane for long enough. This is where some intuitive tech accessories come in. Here is some of the best tech that you can get your hands on to make your flight more entertaining and, ultimately, feel shorter.

Apple AirTag

If you’re taking a connecting flight or perhaps on a long trip, then keeping tabs on your bags will provide you with peace of mind. For this reason, you should get an AirTag, which will connect with your iPhone’s “Find My” app to keep you constantly updated on your bag’s location. This will hopefully ease your anxiety and allow you to relax on your flight.

Bose 700 Noise Cancelling Headphones

Not only is great sound quality important with headphones; but blocking out external noise is just as necessary. With 11 levels of noise cancellation and crisp clear sound, these Bose 700 Noise Cancelling Headphones give you both. These headphones also support Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, boosting ease of access.

Bagsmart Tech Organizer

As you take out your favorite tech on your flight, there’s nothing more frustrating than sifting through your bag endlessly to find what you want. With the Bagsmart Tech Organizer, you’ll no longer experience this aggravation, with its many slots, pockets, and straps to keep your tech secure and organized.

Have you ever noticed how often flight attendants offer gum before takeoff or why so many seasoned travelers pop a piece as soon as the plane starts moving?

Add witnessing this breathtaking spectacle to the top of your travel bucket list for an experience that will leave you in awe.

Embark on a multi-day trek through rugged mountain terrain, passing ancient Inca ruins, lush cloud forests, and panoramic vistas of the Sacred Valley below. Finally, arrive at the awe-inspiring citadel of Machu Picchu, where you’ll witness the sun rising over the ancient stone ruins, casting a golden glow upon this mystical masterpiece of Inca engineering and spirituality.

Dive into the Great Barrier Reef

Explore the mesmerizing underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Scotland is an amazing country, with something to offer everyone. If you’re heading there this spring or summer, don’t miss these stunning seaside towns. From pretty coastal villages to seafront cities, each of these destinations has something unique to offer. The best thing about Scotland is that it is relatively small in size, so if you have your own transport you could even check out all three in one trip.

Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

While not technically a town, Aberdeen is right on the North Sea. This means you can expect plenty of bracing wind and the odd squall of rain, but when the sun is shining you can explore the city’s winding backstreets, its imposing Victorian buildings, and its pretty waterfront areas. Make sure you try some of the locally caught fish while you’re in Aberdeen, as it’s some of the freshest around.

Crail, Fife, Scotland

This charming village is located in the heart of the East Neuk of Fife, a traditional fishing area now known for its pretty villages and coastal paths. Take a wander around the harbor, sample some of the best fish and chips in the UK, and go for a wander along the world-famous coastal path.

Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, Scotland

This charming town is less than an hour away from Glasgow, but it has so much peace and tranquility that its proximity to the city is hard to believe. Enjoy a relaxing ramble along the water, check out the many independent shops, and explore the moorland that rises up from behind the town.

Traveling by van is a super exciting way to explore areas and see the world. Many lovers of the van life are obsessed with nature and love being able to park up in a secluded spot surrounded by stunning sights. However, sometimes when parking in a spot there can be factors that make it better or worse to sleep. Here are some things to look out for when choosing where to park up. 

Are You Sheltered From the Wind?

When you initially park and get out, it may feel like a slight breeze is manageable. Of course, a gentle breeze is, but don’t be too complacent if there is a fair amount of wind around. When you are trying to sleep later, the noise of the wind and the rocking of the van will likely keep you awake much more than you might imagine. 

Are There Houses Nearby?

Sometimes you think you are in the middle of nowhere but it turns out there are some homes just around the corner. Most people would rather not have someone parked up near their house which is fair enough, so make sure to double check you truly are surrounded by nature.

Do You Have a Good View?

Whether it’s of the sunset, or a perfect view of the night sky, having a nice view to enjoy is a big part of the whole experience and good to factor into decisions.

As any frequent traveler probably knows, flights can get quite tedious once you’ve sat on the plane for long enough. This is where some intuitive tech accessories come in. Here is some of the best tech that you can get your hands on to make your flight more entertaining and, ultimately, feel shorter.

Apple AirTag

If you’re taking a connecting flight or perhaps on a long trip, then keeping tabs on your bags will provide you with peace of mind. For this reason, you should get an AirTag, which will connect with your iPhone’s “Find My” app to keep you constantly updated on your bag’s location. This will hopefully ease your anxiety and allow you to relax on your flight.

Bose 700 Noise Cancelling Headphones

Not only is great sound quality important with headphones; but blocking out external noise is just as necessary. With 11 levels of noise cancellation and crisp clear sound, these Bose 700 Noise Cancelling Headphones give you both. These headphones also support Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, boosting ease of access.

Bagsmart Tech Organizer

As you take out your favorite tech on your flight, there’s nothing more frustrating than sifting through your bag endlessly to find what you want. With the Bagsmart Tech Organizer, you’ll no longer experience this aggravation, with its many slots, pockets, and straps to keep your tech secure and organized.
