Day of The Dead in Cancún: Why We Keep Going Back to Hanal Pixán

November 1, 2026 by Tacos TravelsLeave a Comment

When we first moved to Cancun, Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos in Spanish) was one of those Mexican traditions we had been curious about for years. Our first real glimpse of it came through the opening sequence of the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, with Daniel Craig walking through a spectacular Día de Muertos celebration in Mexico City surrounded by skulls, costumes, giant skeletons and crowds of revelers. We remember watching it and thinking: we … [Read more...]

October 30, 2026 by Vantika RobertsLeave a Comment

If your connecting flight gets cancelled during a long layover in Dubai, Doha or Singapore, the claim process if a flight gets cancelled depends on the reason for the cancellation, the airline’s policy and your travel insurance cover.

What To Pack For A Winter Cabin Break In Scotland

October 29, 2026 by DaveLeave a Comment

A cabin in the Highlands in winter is hard to beat. Short days, long evenings by a stove, crisp walks and very little to do except slow down. It's the kind of trip people come back from feeling properly rested, as long as they've packed for the conditions. Scottish winters can be beautiful, but they're also changeable and often wet, and remote cabins don't always have a shop nearby. A bit of thought before you leave means you'll spend the trip … [Read more...]

Solo in Ubud: How to Spend a Week That Feels Like the Real Bali

October 28, 2026 by Ariel Roberts1 Comment

Most people turn up in Ubud with a list. Monkey Forest, the rice terraces, a swing over the jungle, a smoothie bowl with a view. All of that's there and most of it is worth seeing. But if you are travelling on your own, the thing that tends to stay with you is something else: the slow morning before the scooters start, the offering someone sets down on the step outside your room, the conversation you fall into over dinner with a stranger who is … [Read more...]

A Full Day in Mijas Pueblo (And I Still Didn’t See Everything)

October 25, 2026 by Heidi Spain on Foot1 Comment

Four years living twenty minutes from Málaga, and Mijas Pueblo was the trip I kept bumping to next month. Everyone who'd been gave me the same rundown of white walls, donkeys, and a coach park. I figured I already had the picture, so why rush it. I finally drove up a few weeks ago thinking I'd give it two hours before lunch back on the coast. I left at 5pm with a list of things I still hadn't got inside. The lift that drops you into the … [Read more...]

Is Helsinki Expensive? A Practical Budget for First-Time Visitors

October 20, 2026 by Kadir TUNCEL1 Comment

Helsinki is not a cheap European city, but its reputation for being extremely expensive can be misleading. For travelers used to major cities in Western or Northern Europe, many everyday prices will feel fairly familiar, while accommodation, restaurant meals, drinks and several paid attractions can push the total higher. I would focus less on finding the cheapest possible options and more on knowing which expenses are worth paying for and … [Read more...]
