The process of moving to a new country to start a new life can take a long time. Unlike in the movies, you can’t simply hop on a plane, arrive at your chosen location, and stay forever. There is a process to take care of all the legalities involved in becoming a permanent resident in…
If you have made the decision to relocate abroad, there are various important factors you will need to consider; finding ex-pat health insurance and relevant health details depending on the region you have chosen to move to, such as Mexican insurance or health insurance in Australia. However, once you have considered most of the essential…
One kind of cool thing about blogging for a long time is that once in a while companies reach out to you with something they want to send you for free to review. I’ve been really lucky to get several pairs of eyeglasses and contacts to review this way, but for the most part, I…
Many people refer to the midwest as the “flyover states,” but that hardly does the area justice. Instead of just flying over, take a stop in one of these incredible cities on your next vacation and see why there’s so much to see in the center of the United States. Cincinnati, Ohio Cincinnati is known…
Hello friends, I am really excited to bring you this guest post today from my friend Iris. We did a few contracts together out at sea years ago, when I was a cruise ship stage manager. While I’ve definitely got my land legs back, she married a sailor and is still part of ship life…
And now for a small break into a post that has nothing to do with Coronavirus, just a reminder that there was a world before, and a hopefulness that there will still be the same old world after. I have flown a lot over the last year. Definitely more than the last several years combined.…
So let’s talk a little more about Coronavirus and travel. Though first, I am like super curious where everyone is falling on the fear scale here? I can’t decide if I’m underreacting or the stage manager who fights the panic in me is just so strong, but I feel vaguely fatalistic that it may likely…
Bogota, Colombia is at the heart of the country with access to Caribbean beaches, the peaks of the Andes, the lush vibrancy of the Amazon jungle, and a host of bustling metropolitan cities. Today, Colombia and its capital are quickly becoming a trendy vacation spot for travelers from all over the world. Colorful buildings, landmarks…
One of the quiet perks of touring a lot is racking up crazy amounts of award points with airlines and hotels. The thing is though, there’s usually one easy moment to add your rewards number – checking in for your flight or checking in at the hotel. After that point, to add them retroactively, can…
This year was the second (hopefully now annual) BFF girls trip with two of my best friends from high school. Last year we went on an awesome long weekend trip to Iceland. This year we had our sights set on London, but the airfares for the one weekend that BFF #2 could take a few…
Guys, I love travel hacking. It is absolutely not for everyone, but if you pay off your credit card balance every month (like, every. single. month.) then it might be awesome for you too. Travel rewards cards often have astronomic interest rates. If you miss a single monthly payment, it’s not impossible you can knock…
Everything in this post applies to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is the least conservative city in Saudi Arabia. Please be aware that if you are going to any of the other cities, there may be stricter restrictions. I’m going to write the post I couldn’t find about touring in Saudi Arabia as a female. One…
When going on holiday in a big group it is highly beneficial to book a cottage. After all, this type of accommodation allows everyone to stop in the same place. Thus, people get to enjoy their vacation better because everyone will all be together and this makes the experience much better. When booking cottages for…
No matter which way you look at it, traveling the world is an expensive hobby. Although there are certainly ways to cut the costs of a trip, you are never going to eliminate expenses completely. This creates a huge obstacle for those wanting to get away. However, that doesn’t mean that you should admit defeat.…
There’s much to love about traveling, as we all know, but it’d be wrong to suggest that it’s all fun and games. It positively isn’t. There are times when we’re lost and confused, tired, or we realize that we’ve made some sort of fundamental error with our plans, and understand that life has to get…
I love reading credit card reward stories. Saving hundreds of dollars traveling is super easy if you have good credit and you pay off your credit cards every month. If those things don’t apply to you, travel reward card hacking is not for you – though it could be someday. I’ve done a few trips…
Next in our series of city cards I’ve actually used, let’s check out the Vienna Pass card. Things I love about city cards: Makes narrowing down what to do easier. Helps you budget your attraction spending in advance. Lets you pay off a lot of your attraction spending before even going on vacation. They often have…
London is the second most popular destination in the world for international tourists. It’s an amazing city no matter how you look at it and everyone can have a great time there. However, the abundance of entertainment, attractions, great food, and versatile accommodations comes at a rather steep price. The average daily cost of a stay…
It’s been a pretty jet setting month and my last adventure was a return trip to New Orleans, Louisiana with one of my best friends. We both did a lot of Pinterest searching for what to do and here (in my expert opinion), are a few things you could skip to save money and a…
I’m a huge fan of most city cards. I absolutely loved using them in London, Dublin and Hawaii. However, I have also found the Amsterdam one to be pretty useless, unless you just want to go to a ton of museums. With that in mind, I think it’s a good idea to always do a little…
Need to get away? Taking a vacation isn’t something that’s nice to do, but necessary. Only 60% of Americans took a vacation in 2017. If you’re one of them, all of that working isn’t good for you. You’re less productive and you could be on the verge of burning yourself out. Traveling to Dubai can expose…
Guys, the other day I clicked on this click bait article aboutwomen and mid-life crises, expecting to read about how my future has a hot 20 year old guy and a fun new car in it and instead it was an article all about money. I mean – 90% money – but I was shocked…
Traveling has become so popular that according to recent financial data, Millennials prefer to spend more money on experiences such as travels than on climbing the property ladder. Indeed, we seem to be more interested in seeing the world than in owning it. However, the experience of travel comes at a cost. Consequently, globetrotters need…
Tourists from all over the world agree that New Zealand is a dream destination to visit. If you were not familiar with the rugged charms of this paradise on earth, knowing that the majority of exterior scenes in Lord of the Ring were filmed in New Zealand – you can even visit the set and…
