Nayarit Beyond the Beach: The Artisans, Flavors and Traditions Shaping Mexico’s Pacific Coast

September 25, 2026 by DaveLeave a Comment

Riviera Nayarit, Mexico — For many travelers, Nayarit begins with the Pacific: long stretches of beach, surf towns, jungle-covered mountains and the luxury resorts of Riviera Nayarit. But travel inland — or simply a few streets beyond the shoreline — and another side of the destination emerges. This is a Nayarit shaped by artisans and traditional cooks, Indigenous communities, centuries-old towns, archaeological sites, religious … [Read more...]

Surviving the World’s Most Dangerous Road: A Death Road Story

September 10, 2026 by Stephen LeonardLeave a Comment

Group enjoying downhill ride on Death Road

The fog rolled in before we'd even left La Cumbre, curling around the bikes stacked against the van like it was trying to talk us out of it. We were 4,650 metres up, the air thin enough that pulling on my gloves left me slightly out of breath, and somewhere below us, 61km of gravel, cliff edge and reputation was waiting. Bolivia's Yungas Road didn't earn the nickname "El Camino de la Muerte" for nothing. Carved through the Andes in the 1930s by … [Read more...]

Planning an NFL Road Trip This Season? Here Is How to Actually Do It Right

September 7, 2026 by Jay RobertsLeave a Comment

The 2026 season opens with the Seahawks hosting the Patriots at Lumen Field on a rare Wednesday kickoff, and by the following Sunday there will be games running from Charlotte to Detroit to Melbourne, Australia, where the 49ers and Rams open the international slate. That kind of spread across the map is exactly why late summer is when road-trip planning actually needs to start rather than the week before a game. Flights and hotel rates in any NFL … [Read more...]

How to Prepare for Mt. Whitney: Permits, Training, and Gear

August 19, 2026 by David WaltersLeave a Comment

Seeing the crystal clear lakes on Mt. Whitney makes navigation the permit system all the more worth it.

Mt. Whitney doesn't ease you into anything. The standard route is a 22-mile round trip with more than 6,000 feet of elevation gain, done in a single push by most hikers who start well before sunrise and finish well after dark. At 14,505 feet, it's the highest peak in the contiguous United States, and the trail treats that fact seriously. People who show up undertrained, unpermitted, or under-geared don't summit, and some of them get hurt trying. … [Read more...]

The Fine Print of Booking Abroad: Rates, Fees, and Rookie Mistakes

August 19, 2026 by Antoine BirbankLeave a Comment

Travel budgets rarely collapse in one dramatic moment. They erode. A few dollars vanish at a currency counter, a booking site adds a service charge at the last screen, a card issuer quietly applies a markup, and by the end of the trip the number on the statement no longer resembles the number in the spreadsheet. Most travelers notice the gap only after they get home. The frustrating part is that almost none of this is hidden. It sits in terms … [Read more...]

How to Find Safe & Authentic Ayahuasca Retreats in Europe

August 13, 2026 by Leo TraversLeave a Comment

Most people think that they need to fly all the way to South America to be part of an authentic plant-based retreat, and while that could have been true a few years ago, right now, it’s a myth. You see, nowadays Europe offers a ton of different ways to have a deep spiritual experience without flying to the Amazon rainforest.

How active is tourism in Kyiv in 2026?

August 10, 2026 by Anastasia LukensLeave a Comment

Before anything else, a disclaimer. Ukraine is at war. As of mid-2026 Russia is still hitting Kyiv with missiles and drones, including some of the deadliest strikes on the city since the full-scale invasion began. This is not a normal city break, and nothing below is a nudge to pretend otherwise. Most governments, including the United States and the United Kingdom, currently advise their citizens not to travel to Ukraine at all. Please read … [Read more...]
