Posted : 5/12/24 | May 12th, 2024 I love planning trips . Researching things to do, reading up on history and culture, planning my itinerary. It’s fun. There are, however, parts of trip planning that can be tedious. Trying to find a cheap flight can be stressful. Booking accommodation can be too. I mean, how do you know if a hotel is actually good? How do you know what reviews are legit? While I’ve gotten pretty good at picking out hotels when I go somewhere new, I’m also not afraid to leave a hotel if it’s not what I expected. But that’s a big hassle, wasting time and money in the process. Fortunately, there’s a website I recently came across that can help make the hotel booking process a bit easier. And it can save you money too. It’s called Plannin .   What is Plannin? Founded by two former executives of Priceline.com, Plannin is a free membership site that helps you save up to 40% on hotel bookings. As a member, you’ll get exclusive discounts on hotels worldwide.

Posted : 5/10/24 | May 10th, 2024 San Francisco one of my favorite cities in the United States . I’m always looking forward to my next visit. There’s an amazing food scene here (especially Asian food), and it’s close to some stunning national parks where you can go hiking amid towering redwoods. However, thanks to the booming tech scene, it’s also one of the most expensive cities in the country. As much as I love visiting, it’s easy to break the bank here. Especially on accommodation. There’s a plethora of hotels in the city, but not all of them are worth staying at (something I’ve learned the hard way). Since I’ve been visiting SF on and off for over a decade, I’ve stayed in many different hotels over the years. Here’s my list of the best hotels in San Francisco to help you plan your trip: 1. Argonaut Hotel In a nod to the building’s former life as a 20th-century warehouse, everything in this award-winning four-star boutique hotel is nautically themed. Located at Fisherman’s W

Hutheesing Jain Temple – I told my cab driver on a fine Sunday morning. He asked me where it is and I wondered about his basic knowledge of the city. I checked the address on Google and said Madhupura. He laughed and said – Oh Hatheesing ni Wadi, say it like that na. A classical […] The post Hutheesing Jain Temple in Ahmedabad by Sethani Harkumvar appeared first on Inditales .

Posted : 4/26/24 | April 26th, 2024 A compact capital with more bikes than cars, Copenhagen is a lively, modern city perfect for weekend getaways. Copenhagen is also considered one of the world’s happiest cities, boasting plenty of green space, cool museums, and a rambunctious nightlife. Famed for its cyclist-friendly streets, there’s not only more bikes than cars here, there’s actually more bikes than people! I’ve been visiting the city on and off for over 16 years and always have a blast. The quality of life here is virtually unrivaled. And while the city is expensive, it’s definitely possible to visit without breaking the bank. To help you plan your trip, here’s my list of the best hotels in Copenhagen: 1. Hotel Bethel This three-star hotel is situated right on the canal in the center of Indre By, the most picturesque area of town. The hotel comprises three historic buildings, with large and spacious rooms that are clean and comfortable. The décor is modern, though a little

Posted : 4/22/24 | April 22nd, 2024 Dubrovnik is a gorgeous historic city. Perched on the rugged coast of Croatia, it explodes to life every summer as cruisers, backpackers, and beachgoers flock to the city. With medieval charm, a UNESCO Old Town, and the glimmering azure backdrop of the Adriatic Sea, it’s no surprise that this is the most popular city in Croatia . While the city struggles with overtourism, it’s easy to escape the crowds and soak up the local pace of life if you know where to go (and where to stay). I’ve visited Dubrovnik a bunch over the years. These days, there are a lot more hotels than when I first arrived. Some are great, some are not so great. To help you plan your visit, here’s my list of the best hotels in Dubrovnik: 1. Art Hotel This beachfront three-star hotel is just a two-minute stroll to the main beach in Lapad. The bright rooms are simply furnished and feature light, natural tones and small pieces of colorful artwork. The rooms have balconies, som

Last Updated: 4/22/24 | April 22nd, 2024 Tokyo is one of the most amazing cities in the world. It’s fast-paced, futuristic, and bursting with weird and wonderful activities to keep you busy, including gorgeous shrines, palaces, and temples; hip clubs and bars; and fashionable people and shopping, not to mention beautiful cherry blossoms. Tokyo lives up to all the hype. If I could spend months living there, I would. You never know what you’ll find here. One second you’ll run into a group of women dressed in pig masks and ’80s dresses and the next you’re in a robot café or a centuries-old temple. It’s also one of the biggest cities in the world, home to almost 14 million people (almost 40 million if you count the metropolitan area). Not surprisingly, there are many nooks and crannies to explore in this city that seamlessly weave centuries-old Japanese traditions with modern technology. (So don’t rush your visit. You’re never going to see it all anyway, so don’t try!) To help you

Posted : 4/17/2024 | April 17th, 2024 Japan captured my heart from the moment I firs visited. The delicious food, the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, vibrant history, and the very friendly and polite people – it all blew my mind. But Japan often feels impenetrable, especially to first-time visitors. While I think Japan deserves a minimum of 10 days, I get that some people might only have a week, so I wanted to write this, my ideal seven-day itinerary for Japan for a first-time visitor. With only a week, there’s not much you can see unless you really rush it. And I don’t think you should do that. So this itinerary only focuses on Tokyo and Kyoto (the most popular destinations) as well as some day trips from each. If you wanted to rush things a little, you could add in Osaka (more on that at the end). (Note: If you purchased a Japan Rail Pass , activate it on arrival. That way, you can take advantage of the free JR trains throughout the city.)   Japan Itinerary Day 1: To
