I Thought the Wind Was the Hard Part: Riding a Bike in Chicago

May 23, 2026 by Abdul ShermanLeave a Comment

The first gust hit near the lake, just as I was starting to feel confident. A rented bike, a clear morning, a flat city, and a famous trail beside the water. How hard could it be? Chicago answered with a shove. The wind came off Lake Michigan hard enough to make the handlebars twitch, then disappeared between buildings as I turned inland. Suddenly the ride changed. Buses pulled to the curb, bridges rose over the river, parked cars tightened … [Read more...]

Painting My Way Through Portugal With a Travel Watercolor Kit

May 21, 2026 by Jim ReedLeave a Comment

The cafe owner set down a tiny cup of espresso and said something in Portuguese I did not quite catch. I smiled, nodded, and turned back to my sketchbook. Across the narrow street in Lisbon's Alfama district, a woman was hanging laundry from a wrought iron balcony, and the morning light was doing something to the yellowed tiles on the building behind her that I knew a phone camera would never get right. So I painted it instead. I have … [Read more...]

Smart Ways to Protect Your Jeep During Beach and Desert Travel

May 21, 2026 by Austin MillsLeave a Comment

Beach roads, desert trails, and coastal camping trips can quickly leave a Jeep covered in sand, dust, mud, and moisture. Many drivers focus on tires, fuel, and camping supplies before leaving, but forget how much damage outdoor travel can cause inside the vehicle. After just one trip, sand can spread across the carpet, saltwater can leave stains, and desert dust can settle into corners, seats, and storage areas. Cleaning the interior later … [Read more...]

Why More Travelers Are Adding a Dash Cam to Their Road Trip Setup

May 21, 2026 by Austin MillsLeave a Comment

Road trips often place drivers in unfamiliar situations that are difficult to predict before leaving home. Heavy highway traffic, sudden lane changes, distracted drivers, and crowded parking areas can quickly turn a normal travel day into a stressful experience. These situations become harder during nighttime driving or remote travel, where help may not arrive quickly. Many travelers also leave their vehicles parked for long periods at hotels, … [Read more...]

Travel Gear That Helps Drivers Handle Flat Tires and Dead Batteries on the Road

May 21, 2026 by Austin MillsLeave a Comment

Long road trips often place drivers far away from repair shops, fuel stations, and roadside assistance. Tire pressure problems, weak batteries, and sudden engine trouble become far more stressful when they happen on highways, mountain roads, or isolated travel routes with limited phone signals. Many travelers pack food, clothing, chargers, and camping supplies before leaving home. Still, vehicle emergency gear often gets ignored until a real … [Read more...]

Traveling in the Philippines: A Tourist’s Guide to Saving Time and Money

May 20, 2026 by Molly AtkinsLeave a Comment

The white beaches of Boracay, the colonial architecture of Cebu, the strange green humps of the Chocolate Hills rising out of Bohol: the Philippines has the kind of scenery that makes people book return tickets before they have even left. But navigating an archipelago of over 7,000 islands is not something you can leave to chance. Without a plan, the logistics alone can eat through your budget and your schedule before you have seen half of what … [Read more...]

San Diego: A Fine Dining and Food Festival Destination

May 20, 2026 by DaveLeave a Comment

SAN DIEGO, CA — While San Diego's tacos and burritos are legendary, they're only one facet of the city's diverse culinary scene. In recent years, San Diego has emerged as one of the country's most exciting fine dining destinations, thanks to several innovative chefs and restaurateurs who have received both international and national acclaim — and the city itself was named one of the top food cities in the U.S. in Conde Nast Traveler's 2025 … [Read more...]

Malta Beyond the Postcard: Why This Tiny Island Deserves a Full Week

May 20, 2026 by JohnTLeave a Comment

Coffee on the beach in golden bay, Malta

Malta is a small island but it has probably the highest density of things to see and do per square kilometre of anywhere I've been. I know that sounds like a brochure. It's not. You can drive across the main island in about 45 minutes. Most visitors give it a day or two, usually on a cruise ship stop — they walk around Valletta, take a photo of the harbour, and leave, which means they miss almost everything. Give Malta a week and you'll see what … [Read more...]
