The Top 20 Mountain Travel Destinations in the World

If you are like me, the thought of spending time in the mountains gets your adrenaline flowing and you just can’t stop thinking about the breathtaking vistas, exhilarating hikes, and the unforgettable adventures exploring amazing slopes, valleys, and peaks.  That’s why mountain landscapes are my favorite landscapes in the world.  Not only are they amongst the prettiest landscapes you will find on this planet, but they are also some of the most exciting landscapes to explore.  In addition to having some of the most epic hiking trails and climbing routes in the world, mountain destinations also have some of the most amazing wildlife to view.

The 20 Most Beautiful Day Hikes in the World for Adventure Travelers Conquer

The 20 Most Beautiful Day Hikes in the World for Adventure Travelers Conquer

For some people, sitting back and relaxing while traveling is just not in their DNA.  I know that I am one of these people.  When I travel, I always have to be doing something active.  Depending on where I am traveling, it is typically kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, sky diving, or my favorite travel activity, which is hiking.  For me, there is no better way to appreciate the beauty of an area than to hike thru some of its most breathtaking landscape.  In fact, I love hiking so much that sometimes I will plan an entire trip around a single hike that I want to do.

15 Great Tips for Staying Healthy When Traveling

15 Great Tips for Staying Healthy When Traveling

When I first started to travel a lot, staying healthy when traveling was something that I consistently struggled with.  I would work hard at home to lose a lot of weight, build up my endurance for hiking and walking while sight-seeing, and get into the habit of eating healthier.  However, as soon as I started traveling I would slide back into old habits and undo all of the hard work I had put in during the months leading up to my travel.

Important Tips for Eating Street Food and Not Getting Sick

Important Tips for Eating Street Food and Not Getting Sick

I think Anthony Bourdain said it best when he said, “I’ve long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk.  Whether we’re talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime ‘associates,’ food, for me, has always been an adventure.”  When you think about it, he’s absolutely right.  If you don’t get out there and try different foods when you travel, then you are missing out on a big part of the adventure of traveling.  Instead of avoiding street food, you just need to be smart about which foods you eat.

15 Simple Tips That Will Always Save Money on Flights

15 Simple Tips That Will Always Save Money on Flights

When you travel, especially when you travel internationally, one of the biggest expenses that you will have to account for is your airfare.  In some situations, the cost of your airfare could be over half of your total trip expenses.  That is a lot of money, and it is one of the top reasons why most people aren’t able to travel as much as they would like to.  It is also one of the expenses where travelers tend to overpay the most.

The Top 10 Tips for New Travelers

The Top 10 Tips for New Travelers

If you are a first-time traveler, especially if you are traveling internationally for the first time, then your head is probably spinning right now.  Between all of the travel planning, questions about what to pack, the unknowns of dealing with a different culture and perhaps even a different language, and the uncertainty of what you can expect to experience when you arrive, it can be a little bit overwhelming.

Even though it has been well over a decade since I traveled internationally for the first time, I can still remember the range of emotions I went thru when I was planning and booking my first trip.  The excitement, the nervousness, and the uncertainty were all palpable.  Those same emotions are what got me absolutely hooked on travel.

The Best Accommodation Booking Tips for Infrequent Travelers

The Best Accommodation Booking Tips for Infrequent Travelers

If you browse the Internet, you will find a lot of advice out there on how to save money when traveling.  For seasoned travelers, this is often referred to as “travel hacking”.  It is the process of making the system work for you to save money on travel.  However, the more you read, the more you will realize that a lot of the advice that is out there is geared towards people that either spend a lot of time traveling or spend a lot of their time thinking about traveling.

There really isn’t a whole lot of advice out there for how the casual or new traveler who doesn’t travel that often or spend a majority of their time thinking about travel can save money.  I think this is unfortunate because one of the biggest barriers that infrequent travelers run into when they start to think about traveling more is being able to afford it.
