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 .

How to Be a Digital Nomad in Europe

Posted : 1/29/24 | January 29th, 2024 For many people, being able to work and travel is the dream. Logging on to your laptop from a new destination, spending your days off admiring the Wonders of the World, feasting on delicious cuisines. It should come as no surprise that there’s been a rise in remote work over the past few years (especially after COVID). One of the best — and most popular — regions in the world to work remotely from is Europe . Offering a diverse array of countries and cultures, incredible food, reliable infrastructure, and plenty of overnight trains and airport hubs that make it easy to get around, Europe is arguably the best region in the world to work remotely. And with a growing number of countries offering visas specifically to remote workers and digital nomads, being a digital nomad in Europe has never been easier. I’ve been a digital nomad for over 15 years and have spent countless months working and traveling around Europe. In this post, I’ll share eve

The Ultimate Guide to Renting a Car in Costa Rica

Posted : 1/25/24 | January 25th, 2024 I love Costa Rica . It was the first place I visited by myself over 15 years ago and the country that set me on my nomadic journey. From its stunning beaches to its lush jungles, this biodiverse nation is popular with backpackers, honeymooners, and expats alike. And while it’s small, there’s a ton to see and do . You could easily spend a month and still barely scratch the surface. It’s also amazing for road-tripping. As much as a backpacking bus or hitchhiking adventure might initially sound appealing, the reality is that waiting in the hot sun and then bouncing along bumpy roads in an old bus without shocks or air-conditioning is not for the fainthearted. If you want real freedom to explore, you need a rental car . To help you plan your trip, here’s everything you need to know about renting a car in Costa Rica.   Picking the Right Rental Car (and Rental Company) Before you rent a car, read and compare reviews for car rental companies.

The 5 Best Hotels in Oaxaca

Posted : 1/24/2024 | January 24th, 2024 I love Oaxaca . From the moment I arrived, I knew it was a special place. I’ve been back countless times since my first visit a couple years a go (and even ran tours there!). Oaxaca is a city of colorful buildings, scenic rooftop restaurants and bars, street art, historic Spanish colonial churches, cobblestone streets, and picturesque parks. It’s also one of the gastronomic centers of Mexico and a hub for making mezcal in the country. While there are lots of neighborhoods to stay in , almost everything you’ll want to see or do is adjacent to downtown (Centro). Whether you stay in one area or another is just a matter of how far you want to walk. There’s a lot of good, centrally located hotels in the city. To help you plan your trip, here’s my list of the best hotels in Oaxaca: 1. La Casona del Llano Right on Parque Llano, about 15 minutes’ walk from the main square, this is a really nice three-star hotel with rooms centered around a beaut

Nandigram Ayodhya – Where Bharat Lived for 14 Years

InsureMyTrip Travel Insurance Review

Posted : 1/14/2024 | January 14th, 2024 Travel insurance provides a vital safety net against unexpected costs that may arise due to the myriad things that can go wrong on the road. That includes everything from illness and injury to canceled flights and lost luggage to the death of a family member back home. I know, it’s not fun to think about, but travel insurance is the single most important thing you should purchase before your trip. It’s something I strongly advise travelers to never leave home without (I buy it for every single one of my trips). I’ve seen it help many, many people over the years. Myself included. It’s easier than ever to find a policy that meets your needs and budget, especially with tools out there like InsureMyTrip . In this InsureMyTrip review, I’ll go over what the company offers and the pros and cons of using them as a service to use when planning your trip.   What Is InsureMyTrip? InsureMyTrip (IMT) is a travel insurance comparison site that has

The Best eSIM for Traveling Europe

Posted : 1/11/24 | January 11th, 2024 If I had to confine my travels to one region of the world for the rest of my life, it would probably be Europe . From the iconic views of Paris to the amazing cuisine of Italy to the lively nightlife of places like Barcelona and Budapest, Europe has it all. It’s a region you can explore on a budget or a place to splash out on luxury hotels and charming river cruises. It’s perfect for weekend getaways or month-long adventures. I’ve been visiting Europe for over 15 years. And while each trip is different, there’s one thing I always do when I go: I buy an eSIM. SIM cards are what allow you to make calls and access mobile data from your smartphone. In the past, this meant buying and installing physical SIM cards and swapping them in and out from country to country. While this was cheaper than paying roaming charges from my provider back home, it was a hassle. Fortunately, there is an easier (and cheaper) way to access mobile data in Europe during

How to Spend 24 Hours in Raleigh, North Carolina

In this guest post, Craig Makepeace (co-founder and publisher of ThisIsRaleigh.com ) shares how to spend 24 hours in Raleigh, North Carolina. I have called Raleigh, North Carolina, home for over 10 years. As one of the South’s most vibrant and eclectic burgs, this state capital might be one of the fastest-growing midsize cities in the US. It regularly tops the “best places to live and work in the US,” but it still offers small-town charm and Southern hospitality. My wife and I decided to raise our kids here because of this mix. Nicknamed “the City of Oaks” for the sheer number of majestic oak trees that line the streets, besides offering ample green spaces and trails, Raleigh is home to excellent museums, a thriving restaurant scene, endless craft breweries, fun festivals and events, and college-town vibes! Many visitors stop in Raleigh as part of a road trip or for work and thus don’t always have a lot of time to fully explore it. However, even if you just have one day, you can s
