    The Best Airbnb Experiences in New York City

    January 26, 2026 - By 

    There’s a lot of tours in New York City (I’ve highlighted my favorites here) but I think one thing people don’t do enough of is Airbnb experience. Most of us know Airbnb through their stay features but they also have a lot of experiences where you can get a local to show you around. I actually like these experiences more than traditional tours because they have locals who share something they are passionate about, they are small groups, and they are usually a bit more off the beaten path. I don’t think people take these tours enough and they are…

    How to Find a Cheap Car Rental

    January 26, 2026 - By 

    I love road trips. You get in car and can just head off anywhere you want. There’s a freedom to a road trip that you can’t get with trains (and, don’t get me wrong, I love train travel too). Small towns, beautiful parks, historic buildings….whatever you see, you can stop for and can stay as little or as long as you’d like! Over the years, I’ve been on dozens of road trips. Some destinations are just meant for them (think New Zealand, Ireland, Iceland, the United States, South Africa, etc, etc.). However, when you don’t have your own car, renting…

    How to Find the Perfect Apartment for Vacation Rentals

    January 26, 2026 - By 

    I used to hate renting apartments from websites like Airbnb or VRBO. As a solo traveler, I preferred the social atmosphere of hostels. You met people, hostels ran activities and they were where you were “supposed to stay” as a backpacker. When I did want something other than a hostel, I used a hospitality network liked Couchsurfing or simply stayed with friends. But, after close to two decades as a nomad, there are times when I like my privacy and the ability to “create a home.” I like to cook, want to relax on a couch, and just chill. While…

    7 Common Travel Myths That are WRONG

    January 26, 2026 - By 

    Years ago, the website Earth Porm reposted my article “The Ultimate Guide to Traveling When You’re Broke.” As I went through the comments on the post, I was dismayed by the mean and dismissive comments people shared as well their misconceptions about travel. These comments made me realize that, despite all the detailed websites and books on how to make travel affordable and accessible, too many people still believe the notion that travel is expensive, unsafe, and impossible unless you are rich. Too many say, “I can’t. It’s impossible” and become cynical about travel. The notion that travel is expensive…

    Holafly eSIMs: A Better Way to Stay Connected When You Travel

    January 26, 2026 - By 

    When you’re traveling, staying connected is essential. Whether you’re figuring out the best route to your hostel, finding a place to eat, or translating a train schedule or menu, having reliable data makes life on the road infinitely easier. I still remember my early days of travel carrying a physical guidebook around as I wandered the streets looking for my accommodation. Or, when smartphones became widespread, searching for a SIM card kiosk to buy a physical SIM, trying to poorly communicate with staff in a language I didn’t know, and spending 20 minutes swapping out tiny plastic chips. Luckily, things…

Dubai attracts everyone, may it be friends, families, or coworkers. All because of its modern attractions, easy transport, and wide range of activities.

    How to Do Bucket-List Travel Responsibly (Without Being Insufferable About It)

    January 26, 2026 - By 

    Travel blog by Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travel & Lifestyle Hipster Blog Responsible travel has a branding problem. Somewhere along the way, “travel responsibly” started to sound like a personality type, equal parts virtue signaling and packing-list policing. But the reality is a lot simpler (and way less dramatic): responsible travel is just a set of choices that help you reduce harm and increase benefit while still having an incredible trip. You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to write a manifesto in your Instagram caption. You just need to be…

    January 26, 2026 - By

    Capital One Venture X Business Card Review: Is It Worth It?

    January 26, 2026 - By 

    I’m a sucker for a good travel rewards card. Over the years, I’ve collected a small handful of them — not because I love juggling annual fees, but because the right cards can save you a lot of money on flights, hotels, and travel perks you’d otherwise pay out of pocket for. Not only do I have a bunch for my personal expenses but I have a couple for this business too. One of my favorite business credit cards is the Capital One Venture X Business Credit Card. It’s Capital One’s top-tier business product. I love it because there’s a…
