Solo Travel – 10 Reasons Not To Travel Alone

Solo travel is fashionable today. It is presented as the ultimate Nirvana. Solo travelers (real or fake) think of themselves as elite in a way, putting themselves above the mere mortal travelers who do not have the courage to travel alone. Magazines, especially those focused on women, are full of taboos associated with traveling solo. […] The post Solo Travel – 10 Reasons Not To Travel Alone appeared first on Inditales .

Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary: Mystic Grasslands Of Assam

As flood inundates Assam and the freakish monsoon wreaks havoc, I haplessly wonder about the plight of the locals. However, during winters, the weather is congenial and there is no risk of a natural disaster whatsoever. While writing, I hark back to the days when I had a chance to explore this beautiful Pobitora Wildlife […] The post Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary: Mystic Grasslands Of Assam appeared first on Inditales .

Mylio: An Amazing Photo Tool for Travelers

Posted : 3/27/2023 | March 27th, 2023 I’m bad at taking photos. That’s not to say the pictures I take are bad (though there’s debate on that too!). Rather, I always forget to take photos for this blog whenever I’m traveling. I’ve gotten better in recent years (thanks to the team here constantly reminding me). But that means I take a lot of photos — photos of me for my social media, pictures of landscapes and monuments for the website, menus so I can update prices on the blog, and everything in between. After over 15 years traveling the world , I have thousands and thousands of pictures on my hard drive. Literally. I actually went through all my photos in 2022. It took TWO MONTHS of sorting and arranging them into folders, separating them by date and destination, and removing duplicates and those I didn’t want to keep. It was a hassle. But it didn’t have to be. Enter Mylio Photos . Mylio is an app that makes it easy to save, store, edit, organize, and protect all your travel ph

How I’ve Kept Traveling the World After Having My Baby

Posted : 3/24/2023 | March 24th, 2023 Everyone says that you have to stop traveling the world once you have kids. In this guest post, Kristin from Be My Travel Muse shares how she has managed to keep traveling the world — even with a baby — and the lessons and challenges traveling with a child has presented. For nearly ten years, I traveled to over sixty countries on six continents by myself. If you had told 26-year-old me, who was just beginning her solo travel adventures, that she would eventually have a baby, she might have searched out a DeLorean to rewrite the script. Traveling solo meant ultimate, intoxicating freedom . It didn’t matter if I woke up and made a last-minute decision to leave a place, or to stay for two more weeks. It didn’t matter if I completely upended my plans on a whim because of a new person I met or a new destination I became aware of. It didn’t matter what I wanted to eat for dinner or when. I could be totally, deliciously selfish, which I loved at the

The 11 Best Cities for Partying

Last Updated: 3/23/23 | March 23rd, 2023 Some people travel to explore ancient historical sites , others to sample the culture or food or language of new and exciting destinations. And, sometimes, people travel to party. When it comes to budget backpacking , one of the most common ways travelers break the ice is over a drink. Or two. Or three. Whether it’s at bars, clubs, lounges, beach parties, or just in small groups sitting around talking while sipping a bottle of wine, alcohol — for better or worse — is often a staple of life on the road. If you’re looking to embrace your wild side and party hard with other travelers, here’s my thoroughly researched list. I’ve been to over one hundred countries and have drunk heavily around the world, so I know a good party when I see one! If you are looking to party when you travel, visit one of these places:   1. Bangkok, Thailand Bangkok is a hub for budget travelers. It’s where the infamous Khao San Road is located. All travel road

The Best Walking Tours in Melbourne

Posted : 3/16/23 | March 16th, 2023 Famed for its restaurant and coffee scene, Melbourne is popular with the backpacker crowd (hence why I vibe with it so much!). It has charming, funky neighborhoods, and streets lined with inspiring shops and cafés. You can tap into its amazing nightlife, from a sedate evening at a wine bar to dancing until sunrise at a thumping club. It’s also near the wine-centric Yarra Valley. There’s a lot to see and do here. Melbourne is considered the “cultural capital” of the country and the best way to find out why is to take a walking tour. I love walking tours. You’ll get to see the highlights and connect with a local guide that can answer all your questions. There are tours for every niche too, so regardless of your interests (or budget), you’ll be able to have fun and learn a lot about the city. Here’s my list of the best walking tours in Melbourne.

How to Eat Cheap Around the World

Last Updated : 3/17/23 | March 17th, 2023 I love to eat. In fact, eating is one of my favorite activities, and also one of my favorite aspects of traveling. Food is such an integral part of so many cultures that to skip out on meals when you travel is to miss out on a part of that culture. I’m always disappointed when I meet travelers who cook all their meals in a hostel kitchen. Why come to Italy and not have pasta? No sushi in Japan ? Avoiding steak in Argentina ? Skipping paella in Spain ? While you don’t need to eat every single dish when you visit a new country, it’s important to be as open as possible to their food culture. Of course, many travelers have a valid concern when it comes to food. For one, eating out all the time is expensive. Imagine if you ate out every day — your food budget would be astronomical! Additionally, many people have dietary concerns that prevent them from fully embracing new foods. And many travelers are vegan or vegetarian , as well, whic

The Best Walking Tours in Sydney

Posted : 3/10/2023 | March 10th, 2023 Sydney is the most popular and largest city in Ausrtralia. If you visit the country, you’re going to visit here. Home to five million inhabitants (about 20% of the entire population), it has a ton of things to see and do , from the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge to its stunning beaches and plentiful museums (many of which are free). As the country’s biggest city and most popular destination for tourists, there is a lot to do here. Beyond the typical sites, museums, and activities, there are also a lot of incredible walking tours that give you a sense of the people and culture of the city. I love walking tours for this reason. Led by a local, they give you information you wouldn’t find by just wandering around on your own. You get someone who can answer your questions and share their insider tips. There are a lot of walking tours in Sydney to choose from. To help you avoid some of the less than great ones, here’s my list of the best wal
