Heading to Skiathos and Skopelos? These are all the Mamma Mia movie locations in Greece. This past summer, Mari and I were dreaming up a girls’ trip to some of Greece’s lesser-known islands with Star Clippers. When we told Aishah we had never seen Mamma Mia, the ultimate celebration of girlhood and Greek wanderlust, she […]
31 The Na Pali coast on Kauai is probably the most beautiful coastline in the world, and there’s no better way to see it than by air. I’ve always wanted to fly over Kauai in a helicopter with the doors off, and last week it finally happened! I joined Jack Harter Helicopters on a 1 […]
Tokyo is one of those cities that feels endlessly deep. You can visit a dozen times and still discover new food stalls, hidden shrines, late-night bars, quirky subcultures, and neighborhoods that feel like completely different worlds. (I know because I’ve visited about 10 times already!) One of my favorite ways to explore Tokyo is by […]
Looking for the best sunglasses for travel? Here are our faves, including some game-changer accessories. When you travel, you should avoid bringing your nicest sunglasses. Early on, I didn’t heed the warnings and ended up dropping my favorite pair. RIP. Now, I have a pair that stays safely nestled in our car and another to […]
102 If you’re planning a trip to New York City, probably one of the first questions on your mind is what to book in advance.

The use of points and miles has become widespread, round-the-world tickets have gone the way of the dodo, airlines have consolidated, and there has been an explosion of budget airlines. Over the last few years, the cost […]

71 I just got back from hiking Mount Kasikasima in Suriname! It’s a fun expedition that involves flying a little bush plane into the jungle, taking a canoe up the river, and climbing one of the middle peaks of the mountain. Along the way, you get to visit indigenous villages, sleep in hammocks, see wild […]
I love walking tours. Long time readers know I always recommend doing them first thing when you’re in a city. It doesn’t matter the type you do. Food, history, art – whatever! Just do something. They’re an incredible way to learn about a destination, get your bearings, and talk to a local about life in […]
Was it worth the Price? This is not your average hotel stay. It’s a bucket list destination in itself, at least for us, who are not the Kardashians or the Zuckerbergs of the world. Whether it’s worth the spend depends solely on you. I saw photos of it years ago and knew I would want […]
