I visited Seoul for a few days pre-pandemic. It would be awesome to go back. I barely scratched the surface after visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace and walking around Myeongdong. Have you been to Seoul? If so, what did you …
I haven’t, but I’d love to go because, as silly as it sounds, I’m a big fan of M*A*S*H, and of course Seoul was a hot spot for their R&R on the show. That aside, though, the history there must be incredible! Why were you only there for a few days? Was it a group tour type of thing?

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip, it is essential to be aware of certain requirements and practical considerations that travelers should keep in mind. The necessary prerequisites for visiting Tokyo, such as documen…
Public transportation in foreign countries always makes me very nervous because I don’t even do well navigating public transportation here at home! I’m always afraid I’ll get on the wrong train and wind up really far away from where I intended to go. Good to know that Tokyo has signs in English, though. That helps to make things a little easier!

Luxury travel is the art of experiencing the world in the most exquisite way possible, offering unparalleled comfort, personalized services, and unique adventures. From dining in Michelin-starred restaurants to resting …
I upgrade as much as possible when traveling because I want the exclusive experience, but sometimes I cut corners. For example, instead of paying $500 for a private cabana at the beach, I’ll tip the towel guys $40 and ask them to set up my lounge chairs away from the crowd under a nice palm tree. That usually gets them to go above and beyond, and they’ll add a couple small tables and let the beach servers know to be attentive.

Do you have any tips for traveling safely as a lone female? There are so many places that I want to see that my friends and family just aren’t interested in.
I’ve traveled alone quite a bit, and even when I’m not on a trip by myself, I tend to stray from the people I’m with. My main focus is to stick to populated, well-lit areas. Also, trust your gut. If you’re in a place that’s giving you a creepy feeling, get out of there.

I keep saying I’m done with Disney because of the expense, the crowds, and the general hassle of it all, but I was just there recently, and I already want to go back. I guess it is the most magical place on earth!…
I love Disney! Try to go while school is in session, and it won’t be so crowded. It’s worth paying extra for Lighting Lane passes. I know it’s hard to fork out extra cash, especially when the tickets are already expensive, but the passes are your best bet for riding all the most popular attractions.
I read that during a recent stockholder meeting, Bob Iger (Disney CEO) defended the expense of going to Disney by saying there’s nowhere else where you get as much as you do for money spent at Disney. I always thought it was an overpriced destination, but that put a different spin on it for me. So, is it expensive? Sure. But it’s true that when you break down money spent and the vast amount of things you can do, there’s a lot of value in it.+2 4
I’m keen to visit other countries, but the prices of flights are holding me back. Airlines seem to charge for every little thing today, and there are tons of gotchas in their terms and conditions. The seats have…
I just checked on flights to three different destinations (Orlando, San Antonio, and Minneapolis), and prices have come down quite a bit recently. If you’re looking to book a trip, I think now is the time to do it.

I have family spread out all over the place, and there’s an expectation that I’m going to use precious time and money to visit, but there are places I want to go, too. They don’t travel because this on…
Thanks for the input! These are good suggestions, and I’ll do my best to implement them when I’m visiting family later this year. I think the biggest snag is to get over my frustration with putting my travel plans on hold.
Something I did decide to do that I’m hoping will help is combine it all into one big trip. So, instead of going to one destination and coming home, then going to another one and coming home and so on, I’ll be flying to Florida and, from there, going to Louisiana, Texas, and Minnesota. It’ll take about two weeks to cover everything, but I think it’ll be worth it.

Winter is a season that brings about a sense of wonder and magic, as landscapes transform into frosty wonderlands. While some may choose to escape the chill by heading to warmer climates, there is a growing number of tr…
I have a three-day stopover in Reykjavik next year on my way to Europe and I found a tour there where you can descend 400 feet into a volcano. That’s crazy! I have it on my to-do list for now, but I’m not sure I’ll have the guts to actually do it.
