Solo travel – Alone in Portugal

Solo travel – Alone in Portugal

Cursed by Cobblestones, Saved by Sangria I arrived in Lisbon completely winded—and not from the flight. It was from hauling my too-heavy backpack up the sheer vertical of Bairro Alto, where my hostel was tucked. Note to self, and to you: Lisbon is built on seven hills, and they will test your spiritual well-being. Pack light, darn it. But then I checked into the Goodmorning Solo Traveller Hostel (yes, that’s its actual name). It felt less like a hostel and more like accidentally crashing…

Flight Hacks for Cheapskates: How to Find Cheap Flights (and Stop Overpaying)

Flight Hacks for Cheapskates: How to Find Cheap Flights (and Stop Overpaying)

I once missed a $150 round-trip flight to Portugal because I was fumbling with my credit card in the middle of the night. Fumbling. Lost the deal by the time I hit confirm. That sting? That’s what taught me to stop messing around and get serious about snagging cheap flightz. Forget the Tuesday-at-3 PM myth, that ancient wisdom is pure trash now. Prices are chaos, pure beautiful chaos, but you can learn to ride the wave. This isn’t your grandma’s gentle guide….

Summer Getaways That Won’t Leave You Broke (And One Booking Fail)

Summer Getaways That Won’t Leave You Broke (And One Booking Fail)

My first big summer trip after college was a total disaster. I had this grand vision of a “relaxing” Greek island escape. What I actually got was a ferry from hell, a hotel room that smelled faintly of mold, and a wallet that felt like it had gone through a meat grinder. Why? Because I didn’t get it. I booked in May for a July trip to Santorini, the most expensive island. Rookie mistake. Don’t be me. Ever. Summer travel…

Food Travel 2025: From Street Eats to Cooking Classes Abroad

Food Travel 2025: From Street Eats to Cooking Classes Abroad

I once spent three days in Paris and ate… at a McDonald’s. Yep. Just… nope. Don’t ask me why, it was a moment of weakness, fueled by a disastrous Airbnb mix-up and a very, very long line at the Louvre. I ended up with a soggy McFlurry and a whole lotta regret. That’s when I vowed to do better. To stop being a tourist who just eats, and start being a traveler who eats to travel. There’s a difference, a huge…

Traveling with Kids: My Messy, Real-Life Hacks for Surviving a Family Trip

Traveling with Kids: My Messy, Real-Life Hacks for Surviving a Family Trip

That Time I Lost My Mind in the Airport I still have nightmares about it. Logan, my youngest, decided that the one thing he wanted to do more than anything else was run away from me right as we were going through security at Heathrow. It was total chaos. He bolted, my oldest, Mia, started whining about her tablet dying, and I dropped my bag of snacks. Granola bars everywhere, a spilled coffee, and a TSA agent who looked like…

Couple Getaways That Aren’t Just Paris and Beaches 2025 (And How I Found ‘Em)

Couple Getaways That Aren’t Just Paris and Beaches 2025 (And How I Found ‘Em)

The Great Romantic Travel Conundrum Okay, so a couple of weeks ago, my partner, Alex, and I are sitting on the couch, scrolling through Instagram, and it’s just a never-ending feed of couples in Paris kissing under the Eiffel Tower or lounging on a white-sand beach with a piña colada. Cringey, right? I mean, I love a good beach day, but is that all there is? It felt like a trap, like the travel industry was telling us, “Here are…

Smart Hotel & Airbnb Booking Hacks: My Secrets to a Steal

Smart Hotel & Airbnb Booking Hacks: My Secrets to a Steal

Ever booked a hotel and then, like, a week later saw the exact same room for half the price? Yep. I’ve been there. Lost a good hundred bucks because I was too lazy to do my homework. That sting is real, my friends. I swore after that blunder—a tiny, over-priced room in Paris that smelled vaguely of disappointment—I’d never, ever pay full price again. And I haven’t. Not really. I’m a cheapskate who’d rather eat instant noodls for a week…

My Currency Exchange Mishaps (And the Tips That Actually Work)

My Currency Exchange Mishaps (And the Tips That Actually Work)

I swear, the universe has a special sense of humor just for my travel money. My first trip to Southeast Asia, I walked off the plane in Bangkok, bleary-eyed and convinced I was a pro. I saw a currency exchange kiosk with a big “0% Commission!” sign. “Ha! Score!” I thought. I handed over a crisp $100 bill and got back a handful of Thai Baht. The lady smiled. I smiled. Then I walked to get a taxi and realized…
