Arriving in Figueira da Foz after driving across Europe from Belgium

A few months ago, my wife and I made a decision that completely changed our routine. After years of working traditional jobs with fixed schedules, we realized we wanted something different — more flexibility, more freedom, and the chance to build something for ourselves instead of always working for someone else. At the time, we were living in Belgium. While we enjoyed many things about life there, we also knew that trying to build a fully … [Read more...]

What Travelers Need to Know About Pre-Existing Conditions and Insurance

May 11, 2026 by Lucy ThomasLeave a Comment

Travel insurance can feel straightforward until medical history enters the picture. Some people assume their regular health insurance will protect them abroad, only to learn that overseas care, trip cancellations, and emergency transportation may not be fully covered. That gap becomes more important when a traveler has an ongoing illness, past surgery, or chronic condition. Pre-existing conditions do not automatically prevent someone from … [Read more...]

But in so many ways, the basics of travel photography have not changed. Unsurprisingly, people take travel photos for the same reasons they have always done. They do it to record memories of places they have visited and … [Read more...]

The Logistics of Playing Online Poker When Traveling

March 5, 2026 by Stephen AtchelerLeave a Comment

You packed your laptop, booked the hotel, and figured you would grind a few tournaments from the road. Then you opened the app, and it refused to load.
