Posted : 12/19/23 | December 19th, 2023 A lot of people assume you need to travel abroad to have transformative travel experiences, but that’s simply not true. In this guest post, Raimee Iacofano, my former creative director and creator behind RaimeeTravel , shares how a road trip across one of the most underrated American states can show you a whole new world. This year I had a big goal: to get outside of my international travel bubble and explore more of my home country, the United States ! After years of going abroad every time I had some time off, I wanted to switch things up a bit and prioritize destinations closer to home that weren’t necessarily on my radar. Thanks to the folks at Visit Missouri , I was able to turn that dream into reality on an extravaganza down the historic Route 66! This iconic historic highway stretches from Chicago, Illinois , to Santa Monica, California . It gained fame as a major path for travelers, serving as a key route for migration west during th

Posted : 12/15/23 | December 15th, 2023 Staying safe on the road is a top concern for….well, everyone. No one wants to get scammed, hurt, or sick on the road. No one wants to get robbed. And, when you are going somewhere you have never been before, it’s normal be cautious. You don’t know what to expect or how to play it safe. There’s a lot of unknowns. While every country in the world is different, there’s some standard practices and common rules you can use to stay safe when you travel. Some of these rules are common sense, some were sadly learned from first hand experience! Here are my 10 safety tips to ensure everything goes smoothly when you travel:   1. Learn about common scams While scams are rare, they are out there, waiting for unwitting travelers to stumble into them. Most will only cost you a few bucks and a bit of embarrassment, but others can fleece you. Be sure to read up on your destination to see if there are any common scams to be aware of. On my first trip t

Posted : 12/15/23 | December 15th, 2023 One of my favorite cities in the world, Amsterdam will always hold a particularly special place in my heart. It’s one of the places I visited on my first European backpacking trip in 2006, and since then, I’ve been back countless times, exploring all the nooks and crannies of this beautiful multicultural city. While it may be best known as a place in which to indulge in all manners of hedonism, the city is so much more than that. With fantastic parks, wonderful cafes, world-class art museums, charming canals, and a rich history, there are tons of things to see and do here . But no matter what you come to see or do, your choice of hotel can make or break your visit. All located great neighborhoods to stay in , these are my recommended choices as the best hotels in Amsterdam:   1. Hotel Rho Hotel Rho is located right on Dam Square at the very edge the neighborhood De Wallen, home to Amsterdam’s oldest church, a cool craft brewery, plenty o

Posted : 12/14/23 | December 14th, 2023 The Eternal City, Rome has a rich history stretching back millennia. Over the centuries, it’s been rebuilt and rebuilt (and then rebuilt again), creating layers and layers of history for the modern-day traveler to explore. Wandering through the city, it seems like every time you round a corner, you come across an ancient column or ruin. While the history is a major reason to visit, and with seemingly countless sights to visit , Rome is also an incredible city for food, bursting at the seams with delicious restaurants at every turn (Trastevere is my favorite neighborhood for dining out). But no matter your reasons for visiting Italy’s capital, one decision that will greatly impact your experience is your choice of hotel. Rome is a big city with a ton of great neighborhoods and hotels to choose from, but not all of them are created equal. So, today I wanted to share some of my favorites to help you find the best option for you. Here is my li

Posted : 12/14/23 | December 14th, 2023 Chicago is one of my favorite American cities. I love the striking architecture, sprawling green spaces, delicious food (don’t skip the deep dish pizza), and world-class museums. There’s a lot to do in this cosmopolitan city, no matter your budget or travel style. The same goes for choosing a hotel, as there’s a plethora of options to choose from. The city is big and spread out, so you want to make sure you stay close to the attractions you want to see. To help you choose the best place for your needs and budget, here’s my list of the best hotels in Chicago:   1. Staypineapple This fun, quirky, and friendly hotel has rooms with extra-fluffy duvets, oversized pillows, soft robes, and huge towels (everything you want in a hotel for a cozy stay). Rooms also have coffee, tea, and unlimited bottled water. It’s located in the Loop, the center of Chicago and home to some of the city’s best attractions, including Millennium Park and the Chicago

Located in the district of Pathanamthitta of Kerala, in the western Ghats lies Sabarimala, the abode of Lord Ayyappa. The temple is an important source of spiritual wealth and is famous amongst South Indians for the Sabarimala Yatra or pilgrimage. This podcast by Aravind Subramaniyam is a detailed guide for anyone embarking on the yatra.  […] The post Sabarimala Pilgrimage Guide With Aravind Subramaniyam appeared first on Inditales .

Posted : 12/4/2023 | December 4th, 2023 I never get tired of visiting Edinburgh . I love the enchanting cobblestone streets, the world-class whisky bars, the plethora of free museums, and arty vibe of the city (it’s the inspiration for many, many writers). It has been Scotland’s capital since the 15th century and has a history that stretches back millennia (humans have been in the area since 8500 BCE). There’s an epic medieval castle, an ancient volcano, the historic Old Town, and the New Town (both of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites). One of the best ways to soak it all up is by taking a walking tour. While ghost tours are some of the most popular here (Edinburgh is supposedly one of the most haunted cities in the world), there are many other tours to experience, from bike tours to food tours to pub crawls. Here’s my list of the best walking tours in Edinburgh to help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most out of your stay! Best Overall Tour Learn More
