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...]

Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary: Complete Visitor Guide

August 25, 2026 by David SandeLeave a Comment

A short boat ride from Entebbe, in the middle of Lake Victoria, Ngamba Island is home to one of East Africa’s most moving wildlife stories. The sanctuary was created to give rescued and orphaned chimpanzees a safe, permanent home, and today its forest is home to a community of 55 chimpanzees, each with a story of where they came from and how they ended up here. Ten of the chimps were actually born on the island itself (an unplanned but welcome … [Read more...]

Oriental Mindoro: An Island of Wonders, Waves, and Living Traditions

August 10, 2026 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

Oriental Mindoro in the Philippines does not reveal itself gradually. The descent by propeller plane lays it bare all at once — emerald highlands, coastline, open water — a geography that is as direct as it is striking. First impressions here are rarely wrong. My journey began in Calapan City, the provincial capital, a bustling hub that serves as the perfect introduction to the region's unique character. Unlike the frenetic energy of Manila, … [Read more...]

Las Vegas Beyond the Strip: How I Spent Three Days Without Losing a Fortune

July 29, 2026 by Brooke PhillipsLeave a Comment

Most visitors picture Las Vegas as four miles of casino carpet, buffet lines, and a fake Eiffel Tower. That version of the city exists, and it works hard to keep your wallet open. But the city has about 660,000 residents, and they don't spend their weekends paying $26 for a cocktail. I flew in on February 12, 2026, with a plain rule for myself: three days, under $400 total, flight not counted. I stayed off the Strip for almost all of it. I … [Read more...]

5 Adventure Destinations That Remind You Why You Travel

July 16, 2026 by Penny AbramsLeave a Comment

Adventure rarely comes down to one big moment. It's usually something smaller that sticks: the sound of boots on a mountain trail before sunrise, elephants appearing where the grass looked empty a minute earlier, or a fishing boat heading out while everyone else is still waking up. Those are usually the details people remember most. The five destinations below have very little in common on paper, yet daily life is still shaped by the landscape … [Read more...]

San Jose de Cabo, Baja California Mexico – July 2026

July 1, 2026 by DaveLeave a Comment

Located only about 20 minutes by car from the moderately sized Los Cabos International Airport, San Jose de Cabo is a small town easily seen on foot. Known for its art and historical districts. The size of the town is just right - not to small, not to big. Its feel comes from its sun drenched streets, artisan shops, galleries, restaurants and bars. Fortunately the town is completely separate from the resorts (the Zona Hotelera) which line the … [Read more...]

June 23, 2026 by Robert LarkinLeave a Comment

Of all the states to visit in the summer, there’s nothing quite like the stark and rugged beauty of Idaho.

5 Extraordinary Wildlife Destinations for Nature Lovers

June 17, 2026 by Penny LumasLeave a Comment

Wildlife trips are rarely just about ticking animals off a list. The surroundings also become part of the memory. A day spent tracking pumas in Patagonia might involve hours watching the wind move across empty grasslands before anything appears. In Alaska, bear viewing usually means standing near fast-moving rivers while bald eagles circle overhead. Tanzania's wildlife unfolds across vast open plains, while the Galapagos and Borneo place visitors … [Read more...]

5 Incredible Cruise Destinations for Ultimate Exploration

June 17, 2026 by Penny LumasLeave a Comment

Some places are simply easier to experience by ship. Roads don't reach them, flights are limited, or the journey itself becomes part of the attraction. In northern Norway, a vessel might spend the morning weaving between glacier-lined fjords before docking in a small fishing community that sees far fewer visitors than the country's larger cities. Elsewhere, a ship can drop anchor beside an island where the nearest airport is hours away. The … [Read more...]
