Costa Rica is a gorgeous, concentrated little package: smaller than the state of West Virginia, this Central American nation somehow manages to pack in hundreds of beaches, active volcanoes, rushing rivers, roaring waterfalls, verdant rainforests, dry forests, soaring mountains, and misted cloud forests. Add in white-water rafting, canopy zip-line tours, beachfront horseback riding, ATV tours,…
It seems like everyone we know is lacing on sneakers and hitting the ground running these days. With marathons picking up speed and popularity across the globe, we’re happy to call the host of one of the most popular — The New York City Marathon — home. Runners will put their best (and fastest) feet…
Sure, North America has some beautiful slopes, but there’s something about the Alps that elevates (literally and figuratively) the whole apres-ski experience. From Austria to Italy, Europe’s ski mountains provide some of the best powder, runs, and views in the world. And the surrounding ski towns are perfect for settling in post-ski and enjoying the…

Most places put up barriers and warning signs that will stop even the most selfie-happy, oblivious tourist from doing something stupid, getting hurt, and suing. That’s why it always…
New Yorkers have a reputation of being tough, but The New York City Marathon proves the city is full of softies.

Crowds cheer runners…
The quest for “peak experiences” — the term psychologists use for those moments when we feel on top of the world, invincible, and at our happiest — is never ending. To be sure, there are plenty of ways to reach these peaks, and Colorado in particular is currently the nation’s go-to destination for certain kinds…
Today is the first official day of fall, and while saying goodbye to the summertime is no easy feat…well, we don’t really have a choice. But to be honest, we’re looking forward to the days of football and beer, leaves crunching under our boots, and crackling fireplaces. And nowhere in the country does the fall…
It’s all too easy to make excuses not to plan a trip — it’s too hard to be away from the office, it’s difficult to coordinate with the kids, the cost is too high. But workaholics of the world, take note: There are also costs associated with not taking a vacation. According to science and…
Almost everyone who visits Southeast Asia makes several stops throughout their trip — after all, no matter where in the U.S. or Europe you’re traveling from, it’s not a short voyage to reach the region…and there’s so much to see you really don’t want to miss any of the locales Southeast Asia has to offer.…
New Zealand’s North Island; Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour/Oyster Ahh, New Zealand. Never has a place made it so easy to jump out of planes, off bridges, through canyons (backwards, strapped to a chair), and from the tops of mountains. There’s no denying that this is the place for adrenaline junkies, but where exactly should you…
