Well, nothing is more frustrating in the middle of travel than when something really important flakes out on you. For example, when the fuel runs out, the camper breaks down, or when the lights go out during a night’s stay. We experienced that a lot. However, we have been able to learn our lesson the…
Brrr! As someone who has trekked through some of the chilliest places on the globe, I’ve learned one crucial lesson: never underestimate the power of a good winter coat. However, let’s be real: not everyone wants to splurge on an expensive coat. But fear not, as staying warm doesn’t have to break the bank. This…
Van camping can be a lot of fun. For us, it’s a great way to see new places, have exciting adventures, and connect with nature. Of course, we also often face some challenges with van camping. For instance, we may not always have access to all the amenities we’re used to. That’s why we’re always…
The feeling of weightlessness and freedom that comes from being in the water is like no other. But as someone who loves to swim, I’ve often had a hard time finding the right gear to extend my swimming sessions in the colder months. This is where the best thermal wetsuits for swimming come into play.…
As the weather changes, so does my skincare. The winter months can be really harsh on my already-dry skin, leaving it even drier, flaky, and sometimes irritated. This is especially true when I’m traveling, as climate changes can further dehydrate my skin. Thankfully, I’ve learned from my past experiences and always have a travel-sized moisturizer…
As the landscape is starting to transform into a winter wonderland, it’s time for us, paw parents, to make sure our dogs are properly dressed. Traveling with my dog in winter is a joy, but I always remind myself that keeping him warm and cozy is paramount. Whether I plan to go on a snowy…
Las Vegas is synonymous with extravagance and excitement, and we’re never tired of visiting the Sin City.

With the year ending, our mind was brimming with the possibilities of planning trips next year. While on one hand, we had a Southeast Asian backpacking trip on our mind, we also thought about taking that long-awaited Euro trip. After all, who doesn’t love a multi-destination holiday, right? If the thought of booking multiple flights…
When it comes to booking hotels, no matter the destination, we usually don’t look beyond Agoda. The reputed online hotel reservation platform from the Priceline Group is highly value for money. Not only that, but Agoda has come a long way from its original as a small hotel aggregator for Thailand. Today, thanks to its…
Traveling is an exciting and rewarding experience, but at times, it can be unpredictable, too. We’ve lost count of how many flights we’ve been on this year, but not all of them were perfect. We’ve experienced flight cancellations and delayed luggage so many times that we’re almost immune to it. Still, this can leave someone…

Luckily, now, as seasoned eventgoers, we can book tickets for our favorite events confidently and hassle-free with the help of none other than…
Traveling is more than just a hobby for me. It helps me open doors to new cultures, experiences, and perspectives. However, what often hinders these things are language barriers. When I can’t speak certain languages, it limits my ability to immerse myself in the local culture. Thankfully, Rosetta Stone can help me bridge this gap.…
One-stop-shop is our go-to when it comes to booking our vacations and holidays.

Launched in Barn, Pennsylvania, OneTravel.com is a travel website that offers not only flight…
Well, it’s safe to say that we are officially old-timers in this business now. Traveling across the globe and living off-grid is what we’ve been into for decades. So, over the years, we’ve been able to test out some of the most important (or essential) camping gear. And, that, of course, includes camping lights &…
On our trip to Birmingham, AL, we were pleasantly surprised at how pet-friendly the city is. Whether it’s in the center of downtown Birmingham, the Mountain Brook area, or the nearby Homewood neighborhood, we found plenty of fun and exciting things to do with our dogs. The Botanical Garden was also a highlight of our…
One of the best ways to enjoy the great outdoors is with RV camping. It allows us to be outside but with the comfort of home. We love taking in the views with a cup of coffee, and we think it’s pretty much the perfect way to spend the morning. However, it won’t be possible…
In an era of Netflix and chill from the comfort of our homes, an urge arises for entertainment that’s not available from our couches every now and then. It’s at such moments that we discovered the invaluable SeatGeek, a mobile app and website offering a search engine scouring dozens of ticket sites, presenting all useful…
We’ll go as far as saying that Queenstown is probably South Island, New Zealand’s (NZ) crown jewel. It’s a veritable snow chaser’s paradise and one of the country’s top skiing destinations. That’s not surprising, given that there are not one but three excellent skiing regions less than an hour’s drive from the town center! If that…
Deep in the heart of Alberta’s wilderness, Banff in Canada, is a landscape of jagged mountains, wild forests – and infinite natural beauty. Tucked around two hours from Calgary, Banff is a slice of snowy paradise for winter outdoor and sports enthusiasts. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a lot for non-skiers as well, right from…
Skiing is one of our favorite ways to burn calories and enjoy the winter outdoors. Of course, it can be extremely cold, especially if you’re not properly dressed. That’s why we never leave our house without wearing the best long underwear for skiing. Also called thermal underwear, it helps regulate our body temperatures and keep…
When it comes to vacation destinations that warmly embrace our furry family members, Grand Junction, Colorado, stands out as a pet lover’s dream come true. Our journey to this charming town with our pets was one we would cherish. It also helps that Grand Junction’s pet-friendly hotel can be found easily throughout the town. Furthermore,…
We go camping frequently. The more we head towards far-off wilderness, the better we are able to commune with nature. However, there are drawbacks to that. While camping in the middle of nowhere is a lot of adventure, you find yourself without necessary camping furniture like tables to eat at and chairs to sit on!…
When it comes to winter running, there’s nothing worse than being cold and uncomfortable. There was a time when we thought we could wear anything we wanted. We learned the hard way that winter running needs winter-specific gear. Thankfully, now we know exactly how to keep ourselves warm and toasty. One of the easiest ways…
As the holiday season is getting nearer and nearer, the quest for perfect gifts for our loved ones intensifies. And when it comes to your special people, the search takes on a special dimension.
