The 6 Best Hotels in Melbourne

Melbourne is my favorite city in Australia. It’s a vibrant, multicultural city known for its rich arts scene, world-class dining, and lively atmosphere. It’s a hub for backpackers and travelers too. The mix of old-world architecture and modern skyscrapers gives the city a unique charm. I especially love strolling through Melbourne’s iconic laneways, enjoying the colorful street art and popping into hidden bars. There’s so much to do here that you could easily spend a week and not get bored. No matter how long you have though, choosing a great hotel is paramount. There are a ton of hotels in the city, and not all of them are good. In fact, I’ve stayed in some that were downright terrible! So, to help you make the most of your visit down under, here is my list of the best hotels in Melbourne: 1. Treasury on Collins This four-star aparthotel is in the city’s CBD (central business district; the neighborhood in Melbourne I recommend for most travelers ). The building itself is a 19t

The Best Walking Tours in Mexico City

Posted : 6/1/2023 | June 1st, 2023 I love Mexico City . It’s dynamic, diverse, bustling, and filled with incredible museums and restaurants. There’s so much to do here. It takes a long time to peel back the layers of this onion and get to the essence of the city. We run week long tours to the city and that only gets you a good overview of it all!

My Step-By-Step Guide to Backpacking Europe

Last Updated: 5/25/23 | May 25th, 2023 Backpacking Europe is still one of my favorite things to do as a traveler. There isn’t a year I don’t criss-cross the continent (except 2020 when no one was crossing Europe). During the summer, hostels burst with life, the Mediterranean sparkles, streets fill with people slowly drinking wine and enjoy the day, and the late night setting sun leads to long wonderous days. Winter brings Christmas markets, skiing, fewer crowds, and lower prices! And Spring and Fall bring the right mix of people, temperatures, and prices that make these two my favorite seasons to travel Europe. Since starting this website in 2008, I’ve written a lot of posts on Europe. I visit Europe multiple times a year, have been all over the continent, lived there on multiple occasions, and even run tours there . With so much content on the blog, I wanted to create a resource page that will help you plan your backpacking trip to Europe with ease. That way you don’t miss any

The 16 Best Things to Do in New Orleans

Posted : 5/23/2023 | May 23rd, 2023 New Orleans is one of the best cities in the world. Synonymous with debauchery, it’s become famous for the boisterous Mardi Gras festival that takes over the city each February. But there is more to “NOLA” than just partying. Much more. I first went in 2006 and have been drawn back countless times, diving deeper and deeper into the city. From feasting on delicious Creole food to learning about voodoo and its cultural roots, New Orleans is a city with layers — layers that are often overlooked by partying tourists. New Orleans is magic. It is such a phenomenal place. I’ve never not had a great time there. It’s one of my favorite places in the WORLD! That’s how good it is! To help you have fun and make the most of your visit beyond the tourist trail, here’s my list of the best things to do in New Orleans: 1.

The 14 Best Things to Do in Bristol

Last Updated: 3/2/23 | March 2nd, 2023 While most travelers who visit England only visit London, there are actually a lot of other gems in the country worth exploring. One such place is Bristol. “Bristol? There’s not much there.” That was the standard reply from locals whenever I mentioned I was heading to Bristol. Needless to say, I had low expectations. But I visited anyway. After all, there’s no such thing as “must-see” — and that means there’s no such thing as “must skip” either. On arrival, I found a hip college town with amazing eateries, wonderful things to see, and plenty of green space. Bristol is like the English version of Seattle . Most travelers seem to use it as a base for trips to Bath but never fully explore this city, giving it only a brief glance before heading back to London . This is a mistake. With a population of around 500,000, Bristol is the largest city in southern England (after London) and is also one of the largest shipping ports in England. It
