]]> Between long commutes and lack of flexibility, not to mention the challenge of working around noisy colleagues, it’s no wonder that many people have started to ditch their office jobs in favor of remote positions. While often, this just means working from home, the beauty of remote jobs is that, for the most part, they can be done from anywhere in the world—a major perk for those of us who love to travel. Read on to learn more about some of the best destinations for remote workers around the globe.

Prague, Czech Republic

In Eastern Europe, Prague has risen as a top destination for remote professionals thanks to its affordable cost of living and abundance of co-working spaces like WeWork. Outside of the office, the Czech capital is home to a diverse cultural scene and large community of expats from all over the world, making it an ideal place for those looking to cultivate new professional and personal connections. 

Bali, Indonesia

For digital nomads looking to go off the beaten path, Bali offers an inexpensive escape in an exotic, laid-back environment. With plenty of cafes and co-working spaces, employees have everything they need to both focus on work and network with other remote professionals on the island. Unwind after hours with a trip to the beach, or spend time exploring the local Hindu temples.

Lisbon, Portugal

On the coast of Portugal, Lisbon’s lively atmosphere and plethora of cheap housing has earned the city a reputation as a remote worker’s paradise. Its charming neighborhoods are dotted with coffee shops and co-working cafes, while nightclubs and beaches provide a variety of opportunities to relax and unplug come Friday afternoon.

]]> If you’ve started seeing someone fairly recently, the idea of taking a trip together can be a little daunting as well as exciting. A mini-break or a vacation can be a great way to take your relationship to the next level, but how do you plan it so that all goes well and there are no major arguments? These simple tips offer guidance and advice to help ensure your first trip away together is a great success.

Shorter is Better

As this is your first trip away, you may want to think about limiting the time. This is to ensure that neither of you feels too stressed or pressured by the time away, so you can both focus on enjoying your break. Consider getting away for a long weekend, or even just stopping off somewhere for one night, before you book longer vacations. 

Agree on the Destination

While it may seem like a lovely idea to surprise your new partner with a trip you’ve booked, it may be better to agree on a destination together for this first trip. As you’re still getting to know one another, it’s a safer bet to find a location you’re both excited about, rather than excitedly telling them you’re heading to the sea only to discover that they hate swimming and sunbathing. 

Agree on an Itinerary 

While you don’t need to set everything you’ll do on vacation in stone before you leave, it can be a good idea to share a few of your favorite activities. This way, you’ll both have an idea of what to expect, and you should be able to share your ideal activities so that you can both enjoy the perfect holiday.

]]> The capital city of Wales in the UK is a buzzing hub of creativity, culture, and color. From the renovated docklands to the thriving city center, check out three of the best things to see and do if you’re spending time in the Welsh capital. 

Cardiff Castle

If you’re a history fan, make a beeline to the fantastic Cardiff Castle in the city center. There has been activity at this site for over 2000 years, and Victorian improvements in its architecture have given the castle a dramatic, ornate feel. You will need to pay to access the interior but the large, landscaped grounds are free.

Explore the City Docks

The docklands demonstrate Cardiff’s industrial past, although recent renovations and changes mean that this area feels cosmopolitan and exciting. The docks are a great place to grab a bite to eat as there are plenty of trendy bars, or simply enjoy a waterside stroll.

National Museum of Cardiff

This centrally located museum is free to enter and contains many fascinating exhibits about Welsh history, language, and culture. There are plenty of child-friendly interactive displays, plus a wonderful on-site cafe so you can spend a whole morning or afternoon here with your little ones.

]]> France is a popular destination for tourists, for good reason—this European country has a bit of everything, from Alpine slopes in the east to sandy, sunlit coasts in the south. Many people have cities such as Paris and Nice on their ‘must-visit’ list, but it’s definitely worth considering smaller cities, too. Montpelier in the south of France has a wealth of things to see and do and is a bit quieter than other destinations like Cannes or Marseilles. Check out the top three things to do in this city, and try and resist booking the next flight there!

Carefree Coastline 

Just ten miles from the city stretches the Mediterranean coast, with all its sun, sea, and sand. There are plenty of public transport options to take you to the beach, so you won’t need to worry about hiring transport.

Foodie Destination

France is well known for its food and Montpelier is especially famed for its fine wines, delicious fresh produce including fruits and cheeses, and crusty baguettes. Check out the local cafes where you can eat well and relatively cheaply, or splash out on a three-course meal in one of the city’s charming restaurants.

Culture Capital

Although Montpelier is smaller than other French cities, it still boasts a wealth of amazing museums and art galleries. Check out Galerie de l’Ancien Courrier, which hosts artworks by painters celebrating the famous southern light that is found all around the Occitanie area. This is a fabulous way to while away an afternoon in this relaxed city.

]]> One of the best things about travel is that no matter your interests, there’s a destination out there with something to offer. Some places are famous for their party culture and nightlife, others their cuisine, while a select few are regarded as hubs of mysticism and spirituality. These unassuming places, often considered sacred by their local populations, have unique energies perfect for retreats or just some good old fashioned soul searching. Keep reading to learn more about some of the top destinations for spiritual travel.

Varanasi, India

Varanasi is an ancient city revered by followers of Hinduism, who believe that those who die on the land will be freed from the karmic cycle of death and rebirth. Locals and pilgrims from all over the world travel to participate in spiritual festivals and bathe in the sacred waters of the Ganges river, accessible through special sets of stairs called “ghats.” Beyond the river, Varanasi is also home to dozens of markets and thousands of temples, most of which are free to enter. 

Bagan, Myanmar

For those interested in Buddhism, the ancient city of Bagan in Myanmar sits peacefully as both a spiritual hub and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, tourists can explore its many temples and pagodas and take some time to meditate and reflect. For a different perspective, book a hot air balloon flight over the city, or watch the sunset along the Irrawaddy River.

Machu Picchu, Peru

Situated in the heart of the Peruvian Andes, the citadel of Machu Picchu is steeped in a mystical energy dating all the way back to the 15th century, when it was considered sacred by the local Inca population. Today, spiritually-inclined travelers from all over the world venture to Machu Picchu to experience its beauty and connect with something greater than themselves.

]]> Iceland is a hugely popular travel destination for people worldwide. An island far from the rest of Europe and Scandinavia, it’s unique and breathtaking. Whether you’re into nature and the great outdoors or prefer to gain new insights into different cultures, there will be something there to please everyone. Here are just three reasons to visit. 

The Northern Lights

Rugged Landscapes

]]> Greece’s rich history and Mediterranean charm have earned it a top spot on many a bucket list, and rightfully so. There’s no denying that the country is home to plenty of archaeological wonders, postcard-worthy beaches, and world-class cuisine, but many of the best locations to enjoy what makes Greece special tend to be overlooked by the majority of travelers. Read on to learn more about some underrated small towns in Greece worth checking out.

Arachova

Arachova is a quaint town in the Parnassus Mountains and is an ideal spot to enjoy winter in Greece. Just two hours from Athens, the village is known for its breathtaking alpine scenery, which serves as a great backdrop for activities like skiing and hiking. After a day on the slopes, head into town to refuel with a traditional Greek meal before dancing the night away at a local nightclub.

Kastellorizo

Often overshadowed by its western Mediterranean counterparts, the Dodecanese is a group of Islands that, while technically part of Greece, is actually much closer to Türkiye. Smallest among them at just under 5 sq mi is Kastellorizo, a picturesque fishing village named for the medieval castle that sits on its port. Kastellorizo’s position in the Aegean Sea lends itself to a vibrant harbor and some of the best snorkeling in the region.

Nafpaktos

In the Gulf of Corinth, Nafpaktos sits quietly as a unique alternative to more popular tourist spots on the Greek mainland. The town’s harbor is lined with colorful buildings that overlook a medieval seafront fortress, and its pristine pebble beaches serve as a lovely space to relax and unwind. There’s even a botanical garden just 30 minutes outside Nafpaktos for those looking to spend some time in nature.

]]> Whether you’re a risk-taker who enjoys sampling unfamiliar cuisine or you prefer to stick with ingredients you know, food is an essential part of any travel experience. Some destinations, like New York, Paris, and Rome, have well-established reputations as gastronomic hotspots, but that doesn’t mean that good food can’t be found elsewhere. In fact, there are plenty of lesser-known destinations that can give these cities a run for their money. Read on to learn more about our favorite underrated food destinations.

Oaxaca, Mexico

In the mountains of southern Mexico, Oaxaca offers food-loving travelers the opportunity to sample a lesser-known side of Mexican cuisine. The city’s rich culinary heritage is shaped largely by native ingredients such as corn, beans, and fresh herbs, with many dishes prepared using traditional smoking methods. Most popular among them is mole, a spicy sauce made with seeds, nuts, and sometimes even chocolate, ground together and served over meat and tamales.

Chengdu, China

While Beijing and Shanghai tend to steal the culinary spotlight, Chengdu sits quietly in China’s Sichuan province as a secret haven for spice enthusiasts. As local tradition dictates using liberal amounts of garlic, chili, and the indigenous Sichuan pepper in most dishes, cuisine in the region is flavorful and bold, with meats and rice typically serving as a base. Try some authentic Kung Pao chicken, or stick with hot and sour noodles for a vegetarian option.

Porto, Portugal

When it comes to food destinations in Europe, Italy and France reign supreme, but Portugal can also certainly hold its own. Porto, in particular, has a unique gastronomic charm influenced heavily by the city’s position along the Atlantic coast. Fresh seafood and wine serve as staples within the local dining culture, with hearty soups and sandwiches filling in some of the more casual gaps. One of our favorites is Francesinha, a sandwich of toasted bread and cured meats, topped with melted cheese and a ladle of spiced tomato broth.

]]> Travel is what you make of it—from the beaches of Cancun to the deserts of Morocco, every place has its own unique characteristics that have the potential to leave a lasting impression, but rare are those so extraordinary that they can only be described as once-in-a-lifetime. Whether you’re looking to plan a special vacation or just want to add some new places to your bucket list, read on to learn more about some of the most incredible destinations worth visiting at least once in your life. 

Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

Spanning over 11,000 kilometers, the Uyuni Salt Flats in the Andes of Bolivia stand as a colossal mirror that reflects the sky above. While the flats appear bright white when dry, during the rainy season, a thin layer of water collects and creates the optical illusion of an infinite landscape. Beyond being an incredibly cool experience, they also make for great photos. 

Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland

Iceland has no shortage of sights and attractions worthy of a spot on every traveler’s bucket list, but for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, the Northern Lights alone are worth the trip. The Lights can be seen from many locations around the country, but for optimal viewing conditions, we recommend getting out of the city and into the wilderness at Vatnajökull National Park, a massive nature reserve largely free of light pollution.

Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Volcanoes National Park in East Africa is a dream destination for adventurous travelers with a penchant for wildlife. The expansive stretch of rainforest is home to about 1,000 mountain gorillas, and each day, a limited number of visitors are able to embark on a journey to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Combined with the breathtaking beauty of the landscape, a trek through the park is sure to leave a lasting impression.

]]> Greece’s rich history and Mediterranean charm have earned it a top spot on many a bucket list, and rightfully so. There’s no denying that the country is home to plenty of archaeological wonders, postcard-worthy beaches, and world-class cuisine, but many of the best locations to enjoy what makes Greece special tend to be overlooked by the majority of travelers. Read on to learn more about some underrated small towns in Greece worth checking out.

Arachova

Arachova is a quaint town in the Parnassus Mountains and is an ideal spot to enjoy winter in Greece. Just two hours from Athens, the village is known for its breathtaking alpine scenery, which serves as a great backdrop for activities like skiing and hiking. After a day on the slopes, head into town to refuel with a traditional Greek meal before dancing the night away at a local nightclub.

Kastellorizo

Often overshadowed by its western Mediterranean counterparts, the Dodecanese is a group of Islands that, while technically part of Greece, is actually much closer to Türkiye. Smallest among them at just under 5 sq mi is Kastellorizo, a picturesque fishing village named for the medieval castle that sits on its port. Kastellorizo’s position in the Aegean Sea lends itself to a vibrant harbor and some of the best snorkeling in the region.

Nafpaktos

In the Gulf of Corinth, Nafpaktos sits quietly as a unique alternative to more popular tourist spots on the Greek mainland. The town’s harbor is lined with colorful buildings that overlook a medieval seafront fortress, and its pristine pebble beaches serve as a lovely space to relax and unwind. There’s even a botanical garden just 30 minutes outside Nafpaktos for those looking to spend some time in nature.

]]> Whether you’re a risk-taker who enjoys sampling unfamiliar cuisine or you prefer to stick with ingredients you know, food is an essential part of any travel experience. Some destinations, like New York, Paris, and Rome, have well-established reputations as gastronomic hotspots, but that doesn’t mean that good food can’t be found elsewhere. In fact, there are plenty of lesser-known destinations that can give these cities a run for their money. Read on to learn more about our favorite underrated food destinations.

Oaxaca, Mexico

In the mountains of southern Mexico, Oaxaca offers food-loving travelers the opportunity to sample a lesser-known side of Mexican cuisine. The city’s rich culinary heritage is shaped largely by native ingredients such as corn, beans, and fresh herbs, with many dishes prepared using traditional smoking methods. Most popular among them is mole, a spicy sauce made with seeds, nuts, and sometimes even chocolate, ground together and served over meat and tamales.

Chengdu, China

While Beijing and Shanghai tend to steal the culinary spotlight, Chengdu sits quietly in China’s Sichuan province as a secret haven for spice enthusiasts. As local tradition dictates using liberal amounts of garlic, chili, and the indigenous Sichuan pepper in most dishes, cuisine in the region is flavorful and bold, with meats and rice typically serving as a base. Try some authentic Kung Pao chicken, or stick with hot and sour noodles for a vegetarian option.

Porto, Portugal

When it comes to food destinations in Europe, Italy and France reign supreme, but Portugal can also certainly hold its own. Porto, in particular, has a unique gastronomic charm influenced heavily by the city’s position along the Atlantic coast. Fresh seafood and wine serve as staples within the local dining culture, with hearty soups and sandwiches filling in some of the more casual gaps. One of our favorites is Francesinha, a sandwich of toasted bread and cured meats, topped with melted cheese and a ladle of spiced tomato broth.

]]> Travel is what you make of it—from the beaches of Cancun to the deserts of Morocco, every place has its own unique characteristics that have the potential to leave a lasting impression, but rare are those so extraordinary that they can only be described as once-in-a-lifetime. Whether you’re looking to plan a special vacation or just want to add some new places to your bucket list, read on to learn more about some of the most incredible destinations worth visiting at least once in your life. 

Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

Spanning over 11,000 kilometers, the Uyuni Salt Flats in the Andes of Bolivia stand as a colossal mirror that reflects the sky above. While the flats appear bright white when dry, during the rainy season, a thin layer of water collects and creates the optical illusion of an infinite landscape. Beyond being an incredibly cool experience, they also make for great photos. 

Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland

Iceland has no shortage of sights and attractions worthy of a spot on every traveler’s bucket list, but for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, the Northern Lights alone are worth the trip. The Lights can be seen from many locations around the country, but for optimal viewing conditions, we recommend getting out of the city and into the wilderness at Vatnajökull National Park, a massive nature reserve largely free of light pollution.

Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Volcanoes National Park in East Africa is a dream destination for adventurous travelers with a penchant for wildlife. The expansive stretch of rainforest is home to about 1,000 mountain gorillas, and each day, a limited number of visitors are able to embark on a journey to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Combined with the breathtaking beauty of the landscape, a trek through the park is sure to leave a lasting impression.
