The Best Website for House Swaps? My HomeExchange Review

Accommodation will always be one of your biggest travel expenses…but what if it wasn’t? What if you could reduce the cost of your accommodation to zero while still enjoying the comforts of home? That’s what house swaps promise. House swaps have been around for decades. It was the entire premise of the movie The Holiday (starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet). They became all the rage but then were soon eclipsed by sites like Airbnb. But as travel prices skyrocketed post-COVID, more and more people have turned back to house swaps as a means of saving money while they travel while still getting a local experience (but without the hassle of an Airbnb). House swaps are exactly what they sound like. You sign up, list your home, and then swap with someone else in another city. They stay in your place and you stay in their place. The biggest and most popular platform for swaps is HomeExchange . And, in this post, I’ll go over everything you need to know to get started with a house swa...

The 12 Best Things to Do in Miami

Posted : 2/20/24 | February 20th, 2024 Miami is vibrant city known for its beach culture, party scene, Cuban influence. It’s definitely considered one of the more high energy, fun cities in America. Miami attracts millions of visitors per year. Personally, Miami isn’t my favorite city in the States (though I do love the beaches), but there’s absolutely no denying that there’s a lot of fun to be had here. From beaches to partying to Cuban culture to the nearby Everglades, you can do a lot. (And if you’re looking to splash out, there are tons of luxurious hotels, upscale shopping districts, and high-end dining to be found here.)

The 7 Best Hotels in Bangkok

Posted : 2/19/24 | February 19th, 2024 Famous for its chaotic streets, friendly people, cheap and delicious street food, and wild nightlife, Bangkok is one of my favorite cities in the world (I even spent two years living here). It just has a contagious energy that can’t be beat. I never ever ever get tired of coming here. A city of eight million people, Thailand’s capital is huge. Choosing where to stay in Bangkok can be overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors, as there is a ton to see and do here and the city is very spread out (luckily with a much improved public transportation system). I’ve been visiting the city since 2005 and have stayed in hundreds of hotels, guesthouses, and hostels. There’s thousands to choose from. To help you plan your trip, here’s my list of the best hotels in Bangkok: 1. Bangkok Hotel Lotus Sukhumvit 33 This four-star hotel is centrally located on Sukhumvit, in an area that is renowned for its nightlife, shopping, and lots of restaurants...

Sant Dhyaneshwar Samadhi at Alandi

I quickly looked for it on Google Maps and found it not too far from Pune. I parked it in my mental list for the next […] The post Sant Dhyaneshwar Samadhi at Alandi appeared first on Inditales .

Where to Stay in Brisbane: The Best Neighborhoods for Your Visit

Posted : 2/13/2024 | February 13th, 2024 Brisbane is third-largest city in Australia . Most travelers visit the city on their way to the Gold Coast or as they head up toward Cairns . They tend not to stay too long as the city doesn’t really have the allure that other parts of Australia does. But Brisbane actually has plenty to see and do – and I think people short change it. Home to just over two million people, it’s a very outdoorsy place, with lots of parks and even an urban beach. There’s a high quality of life and a hip restaurant scene, and the largest koala sanctuary in the world is just outside of town. And, since it’s not too spread out, you never really too far from anything. To help you plan your trip and figure out where to stay during your visit, here’s my list of the best neighborhoods in Brisbane:   Where to Stay for Sightseeing: Inner City/CBD If you want to be in the center of it all, stay in the Inner City, known colloquially as the CBD (Central Busine...

Posted : 2/11/2024 | February 11th, 2024 Edinburgh is enchanting. The capital of Scotland , it’s a historic, moody city with centuries-old buildings, winding cobblestone streets, and an imposing castle that looms above the Old Town. While there is a ton to see and do here ( including lots of eerie ghost tours ), the city is actually fairly compact. Everything you’re going to want to see is generally within walking distance. For that reason, all of the hotels below are centrally located so you never have to go far to see the sights. Here’s my list of the best hotels in Edinburgh: 1. Stay Central Hotel Just three minutes from the popular Royal Mile, this three-star property is located in a historic 17th-century building that’s been completely modernized.
