It is easy to get immersed in all the popular attractions of Vancouver, Canada, because there are so many of them. However, this doesn’t guarantee you have the best time here. Instead, do what locals do.

Visit Richmond Night Market

If you are not keen on visiting clubs or bars during the night, then head to Richmond Night Market. Held annually through summer months, this is the place where locals gather to enjoy live performances, sample amazing food from one of 200 food vendors, or shop anything from antiquities to clothes at the market’s retail booths.

Cycle the Stanley Park Seawall

The Stanley Park Seawall, which circles the city’s famous Stanley Park, is one of the most popular cycling routes in Vancouver. Rent a bike and embark on a journey full of breathtaking views and intriguing landmarks and monuments.

Enjoy Vancouver’s Beaches

When the weather is sunny, locals rush to one of Vancouver’s nine beaches. They become a perfect spot to sunbathe and swim but also to play some sport or meet new friends.

Have an Eventful Day at Playland Amusement Park

Playland Amusement Park is a place where everyone can have an eventful and fun-filled day. Try out one of its 40 rides, including three rollercoasters, play some arcades or games, or simply enjoy great food.

Montana, often referred to as “Big Sky Country,” offers visitors a rugged and majestic landscape that captivates the soul and beckons adventurers to explore its vast wilderness. From towering mountains to expansive prairies and pristine lakes, Montana’s natural beauty is second to none. Here are some good reasons why you should consider visiting Montana, USA.

Spectacular Natural Landscapes

Montana is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, which include towering mountain ranges, vast forests, and crystal-clear lakes. Explore the majestic peaks of the Rocky Mountains in Glacier National Park, where jagged peaks, glacier-carved valleys, and pristine alpine lakes create a landscape of unparalleled beauty. Hike through the towering forests of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area, one of the largest wilderness areas in the continental United States, and encounter diverse wildlife such as grizzly bears, elk, and mountain goats. Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of Yellowstone National Park, home to iconic geothermal features such as Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Spring, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

Outdoor Recreation and Adventure

Montana is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a wide range of activities for adventurers of all ages and skill levels. Take to the waters of the Missouri River for a day of fly fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding, where you can cast your line for trout amidst stunning river scenery. Hit the slopes of world-class ski resorts such as Big Sky Resort and Whitefish Mountain Resort for exhilarating downhill skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling adventures in the winter months. Explore the rugged backcountry on a horseback riding expedition through the Bitterroot Valley, where you can ride through lush meadows, dense forests, and alpine tundra while soaking in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Rich Cultural Heritage and Western Charm

Montana’s rich cultural heritage and western charm are evident in its historic towns, cowboy culture, and Native American traditions. Explore the charming streets of towns like Bozeman, Missoula, and Livingston, where you’ll find historic buildings, art galleries, and boutique shops that celebrate Montana’s frontier past. Immerse yourself in cowboy culture at a traditional Montana rodeo, where you can watch thrilling rodeo events such as bull riding, barrel racing, and steer wrestling while enjoying live music, carnival rides, and delicious Western cuisine. Discover the rich history and traditions of Montana’s Native American tribes at cultural centers and heritage sites such as the Museum of the Rockies and the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, where you can learn about the region’s indigenous peoples and their enduring connection to the land.

When you think of a dessert, flowers are probably not the first thing that comes to mind. But a dessert bloom is one of the most spectacular events in nature. This phenomenon occurs when seasonal rains awaken dormant seeds, carpeting the desert floor with vibrant flowers and foliage. Here are a few places in the world where you can find it. 

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California

Located in Southern California, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is one of the most popular spots to witness the desert bloom in the United States. Following the winter rains, the park explodes into color with wildflowers such as desert lilies, sand verbena, and ocotillo plants. 

Namaqualand, South Africa

Namaqualand stretches along the west coast of South Africa and is renowned for its spectacular spring flower bloom. From late August to early October, this desert region transforms into a vast tapestry of colors, with over 3,500 species of plants.

Death Valley National Park, California

Famous for being one of the hottest places on earth, Death Valley also hosts an incredible bloom event known as a “super bloom,” which can occur roughly once a decade when winter rains are abundant. The valley floor is carpeted with wildflowers. If you catch it, it’s a true wonder.

We know you love your furry friends, and as much as you may love to travel as well, we also know how hard it can be to leave them behind. Our pets are family, and while bringing them along may require a bit of extra planning, it can also make traveling even more enjoyable. Some destinations are more pet-friendly than others–read on to learn more about which ones. 

Asheville, North Carolina

Tucked away in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville stands out as a prime destination for pet-friendly travel. The city’s downtown area is home to a plethora of hotels, restaurants, and parks that are known to welcome four-legged friends, while the nearby Pisgah National Forest offers an idyllic backdrop for some outdoor bonding. Head to the park for an afternoon hike, then stop by Posana restaurant, where they take the term “doggie bag” to a new level with a special menu just for pups. 

Sedona, Arizona

Playful pups and their adventurous owners are sure to have a good time in the red rock landscapes of Sedona. Just outside the city, numerous hiking trails of various levels provide the opportunity to get some exercise and fresh air before returning to one of its many pet-friendly hotels. We recommend the Sky Rock Inn, where they welcome both dogs and cats.

Portland, Oregon

Portland is well-known for its eclectic and down-to-earth culture, which contributes to an overall highly pet-friendly vibe. The city boasts plenty of parks with designated areas to let dogs off the leash, and many local businesses cater to pets as well. Be sure to stop by Bring! Treats for Dogs for some homemade goodies.

There is a kind of magic to Providence, Rhode Island. Filled with old libraries, historical sites, and a thriving art scene, this town is definitely worth checking out. Here are a few of the things you shouldn’t miss when in Providence.

The Providence Athenaeum

Founded in 1836 with collections from the precious athenaeum that dates back to 1753, the Providence Athenaeum is every history lover and bookworm’s dream. Reportedly, Edgar Ellen Poe held meetings with the renowned spiritualist Sarah Helen Whitman right there.

RISD Museum

The Rhode Island School of Design is known to be one of the most competitive art schools in the U.S. Its museum has an expansive collection, ranging from ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian galleries to contemporary exhibitions.

Neutaconkanut Hill Park

Neutaconkanut Hill Park is an 88-acre wilderness located within the Providence city limits. The hill is the highest point in the city, offering a stunning vire of the Providence skyline and Narragansett Bay.

WaterFire

WaterFire is a quintessential Providence experience. On a few nights throughout the fall and winter, the rivers in downtown Providence are fire. Each lighting is done in honor of a local group, including essential workers, BIPOC artists, veterans, and more. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 marked the first year in WaterFire’s 25 year history that the event was completely canceled. Luckily, WaterFire is making a big comeback in 2021. You can check out this year’s schedule at waterfire.org.

When you think about Canadian cities and provinces to visit, world-famous tourist destinations like Montreal, Toronto, and British Columbia are probably what come to mind. However, Canada’s interior is the home of a province called Alberta that has plenty to offer itself! Be sure not to miss these three Alberta cities on your next trip to the Great White North.

Calgary

A short drive away from the Canadian Rockies, Calgary is a modern, bustling city full of towering skyscrapers, Western culture, and world-class attractions. Whether you want to check out the city’s zoo, visit a rodeo, or see a historical village that tells the story of Canadian history, this city has it all.

Edmonton

A few hours north of Alberta is Edmonton, a city scenically located on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River.

Canada is probably not your first choice when it comes to beach vacations, but it actually has some great places that offer that summer vacation vibe we all know and love. The country has the longest shoreline on the planet and along it are hundreds of villages, ports, and charming towns that have so much to offer if you give them a chance. Here are some of them.

Tofino, British Colombia 

Tofino is a place with great biodiversity and a heaven for travelers who like exploring nature. There are plenty of sandy beaches and the big waves make it a popular surfing spot. Enjoy the beaches during summer or explore hiking trails and town streets when it’s colder.

Trinity, Newfoundland

This beautiful place was founded by fishermen in the 16th century and its buildings are mostly registered and preserved. It has a wooden church, vivid landscapes, and charming coffee shops where you can rest and soak in the atmosphere.

Lunenberg, Nova Scotia

Lunenberg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most of the buildings are old, painted in red and orange hues. You can take a walk at the Old Town waterfront and check out breweries, galleries, and boutiques around the town.

Located at the very north of the Yucatán Peninsula, Progreso is a perfect destination for relaxing, even if you only have one day to enjoy it. Here’s how to make that one day count.

Fiestas

Mexico has a thing for parties and the Yucatán region is no exception. It’s a good idea to visit during carnival season (late February or early March) if you want to catch the celebrations. The days of the carnival make the city bursting with life and it’s probably the best time to go to Progreso.

Promenade

Progreso’s promenade is called Malecon and it’s the perfect place for enjoying the sea view. It’s amazing for a slow stroll during the day or in the evening. During the weekends, you can enjoy the local musicians and watch people dance on the street.

Beach

You don’t want to miss the beach when in Progreso. There are many different activities you can do here, from beach sports to kiteboarding or simply resting on the sunbed. Progreso is a great destination for a beach vacation.

Lighthouses are an emblematic scene in coastal regions, serving as a reminder of the perils of the sea for boats and those who navigate them. Puerto Rico, a hot vacation destination in the Caribbean, is blessed with over 300 miles of coastline which is spotted with all kinds of beautiful lighthouses that tourists can now see up close.

If you’re heading to Puerto Rico, be sure to add these three lighthouses to your list of spots to see. 

Punta Higuero Lighthouse

Constructed in 1892 and rebuilt in the 1920s by the US Coast Guard, Punta Higuero Lighthouse is located at Puerto Rico’s main island’s westernmost point. The classic Mediterranean-style lighthouse towers 88 feet above a small cliff with panoramic and tranquil views of the sea.

Punta Tuna Lighthouse

Just off of the far south side of Punta Tuna beach stands the Punta Tuna lighthouse in the southeastern town of Maunabo. Despite taking constant beatings from hurricanes since its construction in the 1890s, this brick and stone masterpiece still stands gorgeous on the coast despite no longer being functional.

Los Morrillos Lighthouse

One of the most dramatically-situated lighthouses in Puerto Rico is the famous Los Morrillos Lighthouse on the island’s southwestern tip. The third-oldest lighthouse on the island, this neoclassic style structure stands on limestone cliffs over 200 feet above the sea.

The United States of America is a region that has lagged behind the rest of the Western World when it comes to train travel in recent decades. While Amtrak was once a widely-used and profitable company that transported travelers throughout the country, it has now largely been replaced by flights and car travel.

One project in Texas is planning to put a small dent in this trend, however. Its name is the Texas Central Railway, and its plan is to develop a high-speed train connection between the major cities of Dallas and Houston that will reduce vehicle traffic between these two major cities.

This project would link the two cities in a matter of only an hour and a half, providing a great opportunity for tourists and residents of Texas alike to make a quick trip between Houston and Dallas, two places that are definitely worth visiting.

From Houston with love ❤ | #ExploreHOU | 📷 @artcherhtx

A post shared by Visit Houston (@visit_houston) on

While construction has not yet begun on the line, which plans to operate at nearly 200 miles per hour, steps are currently being made for the plan’s execution. A bid from the Spanish rail company RENFE was recently accepted, meaning that the construction of this project should begin soon.

This will make the Texas Central Train the first high-speed rail line in the United States, providing a unique chance to travel in speed between these two cities and experience something that we could once only dream of.

When you think about Canadian cities and provinces to visit, world-famous tourist destinations like Montreal, Toronto, and British Columbia are probably what come to mind. However, Canada’s interior is the home of a province called Alberta that has plenty to offer itself! Be sure not to miss these three Alberta cities on your next trip to the Great White North.

Calgary

A short drive away from the Canadian Rockies, Calgary is a modern, bustling city full of towering skyscrapers, Western culture, and world-class attractions. Whether you want to check out the city’s zoo, visit a rodeo, or see a historical village that tells the story of Canadian history, this city has it all.

Edmonton

A few hours north of Alberta is Edmonton, a city scenically located on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. Known as the “Festival City,” you’ll find a number of large-scale musical and cultural events here in summer. If you come in winter, don’t worry, as there are plenty of hockey games and world-class museums to see too.

Banff

If you want to visit Banff National Park, one of Canada’s natural gems, Banff is the city where you can base your visit and explore the outdoors. A charming downtown area featuring hotels and restaurants make it a great base if you want to explore the mountains.

Canada is probably not your first choice when it comes to beach vacations, but it actually has some great places that offer that summer vacation vibe we all know and love. The country has the longest shoreline on the planet and along it are hundreds of villages, ports, and charming towns that have so much to offer if you give them a chance. Here are some of them.

Tofino, British Colombia 

Tofino is a place with great biodiversity and a heaven for travelers who like exploring nature. There are plenty of sandy beaches and the big waves make it a popular surfing spot. Enjoy the beaches during summer or explore hiking trails and town streets when it’s colder.

Trinity, Newfoundland

This beautiful place was founded by fishermen in the 16th century and its buildings are mostly registered and preserved. It has a wooden church, vivid landscapes, and charming coffee shops where you can rest and soak in the atmosphere.

Lunenberg, Nova Scotia

Lunenberg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most of the buildings are old, painted in red and orange hues. You can take a walk at the Old Town waterfront and check out breweries, galleries, and boutiques around the town.

Located at the very north of the Yucatán Peninsula, Progreso is a perfect destination for relaxing, even if you only have one day to enjoy it. Here’s how to make that one day count.

Fiestas

Mexico has a thing for parties and the Yucatán region is no exception. It’s a good idea to visit during carnival season (late February or early March) if you want to catch the celebrations. The days of the carnival make the city bursting with life and it’s probably the best time to go to Progreso.

Promenade

Progreso’s promenade is called Malecon and it’s the perfect place for enjoying the sea view. It’s amazing for a slow stroll during the day or in the evening. During the weekends, you can enjoy the local musicians and watch people dance on the street.

Beach

You don’t want to miss the beach when in Progreso. There are many different activities you can do here, from beach sports to kiteboarding or simply resting on the sunbed. Progreso is a great destination for a beach vacation.

Lighthouses are an emblematic scene in coastal regions, serving as a reminder of the perils of the sea for boats and those who navigate them. Puerto Rico, a hot vacation destination in the Caribbean, is blessed with over 300 miles of coastline which is spotted with all kinds of beautiful lighthouses that tourists can now see up close.

If you’re heading to Puerto Rico, be sure to add these three lighthouses to your list of spots to see. 

Punta Higuero Lighthouse

Constructed in 1892 and rebuilt in the 1920s by the US Coast Guard, Punta Higuero Lighthouse is located at Puerto Rico’s main island’s westernmost point. The classic Mediterranean-style lighthouse towers 88 feet above a small cliff with panoramic and tranquil views of the sea.

Punta Tuna Lighthouse

Just off of the far south side of Punta Tuna beach stands the Punta Tuna lighthouse in the southeastern town of Maunabo. Despite taking constant beatings from hurricanes since its construction in the 1890s, this brick and stone masterpiece still stands gorgeous on the coast despite no longer being functional.

Los Morrillos Lighthouse

One of the most dramatically-situated lighthouses in Puerto Rico is the famous Los Morrillos Lighthouse on the island’s southwestern tip. The third-oldest lighthouse on the island, this neoclassic style structure stands on limestone cliffs over 200 feet above the sea.

The United States of America is a region that has lagged behind the rest of the Western World when it comes to train travel in recent decades. While Amtrak was once a widely-used and profitable company that transported travelers throughout the country, it has now largely been replaced by flights and car travel.

One project in Texas is planning to put a small dent in this trend, however. Its name is the Texas Central Railway, and its plan is to develop a high-speed train connection between the major cities of Dallas and Houston that will reduce vehicle traffic between these two major cities.

This project would link the two cities in a matter of only an hour and a half, providing a great opportunity for tourists and residents of Texas alike to make a quick trip between Houston and Dallas, two places that are definitely worth visiting.

While construction has not yet begun on the line, which plans to operate at nearly 200 miles per hour, steps are currently being made for the plan’s execution. A bid from the Spanish rail company RENFE was recently accepted, meaning that the construction of this project should begin soon.

This will make the Texas Central Train the first high-speed rail line in the United States, providing a unique chance to travel in speed between these two cities and experience something that we could once only dream of.
