]]> History, spirituality, and gorgeous scenery. That’s a pretty apt way to sun up Sri Lanka. The South Asian country is not the first on many people’s bucket lists, but these are some reasons why it deserves a rightful spot.

Colombo

The capital city of Sri Lanka draws on elements of its Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial past. Here you can visit museums and markets, as well as indulge in Sri Lankan cuisine. Sample favorites like curry and rice, and hoppers. Lovers of the sport should check out the Cricket Club Café, and definitely have a cup of Ceylon tea.

The Sigiriya

Sri Lanka has a long history involving many kings. In the 5th century, King Kashyapa usurped his father King Dhatusena, taking his place on the throne. As he was an illegitimate child, Kashyapa was not the rightful heir and feared that his half-brother would return to take the crown. So what did Kashyapa do? He built an elaborate fortress. The Sigiriya, also known as the Lion’s Rock, features some of the oldest landscaped gardens in the world, as well as the ruins of the palace and citadel that Kashyapa built.

Temple of the Tooth

As legend goes, before the body of Buddha was cremated, one of his teeth was saved. The relic is now housed in Kandy, in what is appropriately known as the Temple of the Tooth. Buddhists from around the world come here to pray, and between the months of July and August, a colorful procession is held called Kandy Esala Perahera.

]]> If you’ve got a major trip coming up, there’s nothing more exciting about that. However, we all know that big trips require no small amount of preparation, and you’ve better make sure you’re doing it the right way. You’re in luck though, because we’re about to give you a quick guide for how to prepare for your big trip. Here are three things to remember before traveling.

An Itinerary

The first thing you should do is prepare an itinerary for your trip. Now listen, we’re not saying that you should plan every single moment, because you want there to be room for spontaneity when you’re there. However, it’s always good to have some sort of a plan, and that includes having a good idea what you’re going to be doing there.

Proper Attire

Another thing to look out for is what you’re going to wear when you get there. You should be taking the weather into consideration, as well as any events you may be attending, and social norms as well.

Accommodations

Finally, this should go without saying, but you’d better make sure that you have a place to stay when you get there. Some people love traveling by the seat of their pants, assuming that they’ll find a place when they get there. But it’s always best to be as prepared as possible, so make sure you handle this.

]]> Mexican cuisine is world-famous. There are so many exciting traditional dishes, that other countries often put their own spin on or simply enjoy the original flavors. This makes Mexico a great place to travel for foodies. But as it’s such a big country it can be hard to know where to visit. While you will be able to find delicious food in many parts of the country, the following areas are exceptionally good for trying traditional dishes. 

Yucatán 

Located on the Yucatán Peninsular in the southeast of Mexico, this area has strong influences from its Mayan heritage. The combination of Mayan and Spanish influences results in some unique and mouth-watering dishes that are quite different from classic Mexican cuisine. Corn tortillas are popular, and ingredients such as eggs, beans, cheese, and slow-roasted meat are used commonly. 

Oaxaca

This state in southern Mexico has a range of indigenous peoples and cultures which gives the area a unique sense. The state capital city of Oaxaca de Juárez is often referred to as Mexico’s food capital and is well worth a visit to sample the exciting offerings. Both mole and mezcal are popular in this area, with many delicious variants of each to try. While in the area, Oaxaca cheese is another must-try food.

]]> Hostels might scare you for various reasons (with safety fears probably being at the top of your worry list). The thing is, hostels are so much more than a way to save money on accommodations, they offer plenty of unique benefits that are a shame to miss out on. Here are some worthy reasons to open yourself up to the hostel experience on your next trip.

Meaningful Connections

One of the magic ingredients of hostels is actually not the hostel itself, but the people staying in it. From fellow travelers to friendly receptionists, hostels are filled with the energy of shared experiences and human connections. You can swap stories in the common room, find cool partners to explore the city with, and maybe even form lifelong friendships.

Authentic Local Insights

Travel guidebooks are okay and all, but nothing beats insider tips from those in the know. Both hostel staff and other travelers are a goldmine of local knowledge. Get the best recommendations for hidden gems, authentic eateries, and unique adventures you won’t find in any tourist brochure.

Community Vibes and Unforgettable Experiences

Hostels aren’t just places to crash at the end of the day—they’re miniature communities of like-minded people. Whether it’s group outings or spontaneous jam sessions, there’s always something going on. Plus, hostels often organize activities and tours, which is super useful.

]]> With our busy lives and limited vacation days from work, a week-long break is sometimes all we can fit in. Seven days may not seem like enough time to fully switch off and enjoy a complete change of scene, however, a week is actually a great length of trip. Follow our planning tips to get the most out of your next week-long vacation.

Pick a Doable Destination

Firstly, pick a destination that’s not too far away (max three to four hour flight). That way, it won’t take precious days to recover from jet lag. Secondly, choose somewhere that’s not too overwhelming. You’re not going to be able to see it all. A city break with the possibility of day trips to a couple of other places is ideal.

Stay in MAX Two Places

You don’t want to spend the week schlepping your luggage around. Plus, it’s nice for a hotel or Airbnb to start feeling like home before you have to pack up and leave again. That’s we recommend staying in a maximum of two places on your week-long trip.

Make Time to Relax

With only seven days, it can be tempting to pack in a different activity every hour to make the most of your time. However, vacations are all about RELAXING. Make sure you leave time for a leisurely stroll and a pastry, a day at the beach, or simply time to curl up in a café with your book.

]]> When you go on a journey, whichever kind it is, more often than not you’ll find it necessary to pack a hat with you. Hats aren’t just accessories—they offer shade, warmth, and even style in certain scenarios. There are many different kinds of hats you can wear on a trip, and here are three that you should pay attention to.

Fedora

First up, the classic Fedora hat. With its timeless charm, the Fedora adds a bit of elegance to your wardrobe. Its wide brim provides excellent sun protection, making it a must-have for sunny destinations. Plus, it suits both casual and formal outfits, making it versatile for various occasions.

Baseball Hat

Is there anything more classic than a good old baseball hat? For those who are influenced by American culture, a baseball hat is one of the most common ones you’ll see people wearing. It provides protection, it’s stylish, and it can truly embody the identity of the wearer in many occasions.

Safari Hat

If you’re looking for a little bit more adventure, consider a wide-brimmed Safari hat. It’s designed to withstand the roughness of the great outdoors, offering plenty of protection from the elements. It has a rugged look, which gives you a certain “explorer vibe”—if you’re into that sort of thing.

]]> While travel can be challenging, from navigating the airport to heading on a long-haul flight, it can appear super easy for many regular flyers. With a little bit of assistance, you can become just like those travel experts who seem to effortlessly glide through the airport. Here are some crucial travel tips that frequent flyers swear by.

Get a Greeter

If there’s one thing that makes people anxious when they get off the plane, it’s when they disembark and have to face the issue of navigating a foreign airport and organizing transport. By hiring an airport greeter, all of this will be sorted out for you, with the greeter perhaps even helping you with your bags.

Do Your Research

Even if you don’t hire a greeter, you can still disembark like an expert with the right knowledge. Make sure to do research on the airport at your destination or your layover so that you don’t get lost as you search for your required gate or exit.

Check Everything Again and Again

You can never check what you’ve packed too many times. After you’ve organized your possessions and packed your bags, check your packing list and ensure that everything you need is packed while also ensuring that everything you need to be in an accessible place is well-positioned in your baggage.

]]> Craving a sweet break from the daily grind? Look no further than one-day trips! These bite-sized adventures offer a perfect escape without the commitment of a full-blown vacation. Here are four compelling reasons why they’re the ultimate mini vacations.

Quick Escapes

No more long-term planning. With one-day trips, you can satisfy your wanderlust without sacrificing your precious vacation days. Whether it’s a nearby hiking trail, a far-off town, or a bustling metropolitan, you can embark on a spontaneous adventure at a moment’s notice.

Budget-Friendly

Who says adventure has to cost a fortune? One-day trips are a budget-savvy way to scratch your exploration itch. Skip the expensive flights and lavish accommodations – you only need a packed lunch, comfy shoes, and good vibes.

Spontaneous Vibes

Life is too short for rigid schedules and meticulous planning. One-day trips are all about embracing spontaneity and going with the flow. Whether you’re flying solo or joining your friends for a road trip, the possibilities are endless.

Hashtags Galore

Finally, one-day trips offer plenty of opportunities to snap Insta-worthy photos. No matter where you choose to go on your mini trip, you’re bound to find multiple picture-perfect moments to make everyone on your feed jealous.

]]> Our fast-paced world can often be a bit much for those reaching a certain age. When it comes to exploring new destinations, seniors can do it at a leisurely pace through slow travel—a chill approach perfect for the elderly (or just young people who like taking it slow). Here’s how embracing slow travel can make for a better travel experience, one step at a time.

Savoring Every Moment

Slow travel invites us to take a break from the hecticness of daily life and embrace a calmer pace. Whether you’re wandering through picturesque streets or sipping a cup of coffee at a charming café, each moment is a chance to pause and appreciate the beauty.

Cultural Immersion

One of the things that make a great trip is immersing oneself in the travel experience. The slow pace allows senior travelers to explore hidden gems, sample local cuisine, and admire beautiful landscapes, all while taking their sweet time to soak in every bit.

Connecting with People and Cultures

Slow travel offers seniors the chance to forge meaningful connections with the world around them. They can strike up conversations with friendly locals, attend community celebrations, and get a true sense of the heart and soul of the destination.

]]> While travel can be challenging, from navigating the airport to heading on a long-haul flight, it can appear super easy for many regular flyers. With a little bit of assistance, you can become just like those travel experts who seem to effortlessly glide through the airport. Here are some crucial travel tips that frequent flyers swear by.

Get a Greeter

If there’s one thing that makes people anxious when they get off the plane, it’s when they disembark and have to face the issue of navigating a foreign airport and organizing transport. By hiring an airport greeter, all of this will be sorted out for you, with the greeter perhaps even helping you with your bags.

Do Your Research

Even if you don’t hire a greeter, you can still disembark like an expert with the right knowledge. Make sure to do research on the airport at your destination or your layover so that you don’t get lost as you search for your required gate or exit.

Check Everything Again and Again

You can never check what you’ve packed too many times. After you’ve organized your possessions and packed your bags, check your packing list and ensure that everything you need is packed while also ensuring that everything you need to be in an accessible place is well-positioned in your baggage.

]]> Our fast-paced world can often be a bit much for those reaching a certain age. When it comes to exploring new destinations, seniors can do it at a leisurely pace through slow travel—a chill approach perfect for the elderly (or just young people who like taking it slow). Here’s how embracing slow travel can make for a better travel experience, one step at a time.

Savoring Every Moment

Slow travel invites us to take a break from the hecticness of daily life and embrace a calmer pace. Whether you’re wandering through picturesque streets or sipping a cup of coffee at a charming café, each moment is a chance to pause and appreciate the beauty.

Cultural Immersion

One of the things that make a great trip is immersing oneself in the travel experience. The slow pace allows senior travelers to explore hidden gems, sample local cuisine, and admire beautiful landscapes, all while taking their sweet time to soak in every bit.

Connecting with People and Cultures

Slow travel offers seniors the chance to forge meaningful connections with the world around them. They can strike up conversations with friendly locals, attend community celebrations, and get a true sense of the heart and soul of the destination.
