It’s that time of the year again! Time for ghosts and ghouls, witches and zombies, bobbing for apples and seasonal coffee beverages — in seasonal cups! Thanks, Starbucks. That’s right, we’re already just around the corner from Halloween. Every town or city has it’s own way of celebrating the spooky night, from family-friendly parades to…
New Yorkers have a reputation of being tough, but The New York City Marathon proves the city is full of softies. To be clear, those runners (many hailing from the city) trucking a grueling 26.2 miles are tough. But the outpouring of love to the 50,000+ participants would melt the hardest heart. Crowds cheer runners…
Wherever you go in the world, you are most likely going to bump into an Aussie at some point. After all, we are notorious travelers — and although many overseas neighbors would consider Australia as a top travel destination, from the looks of it a vast number of Australians can’t wait to escape the isolated…
Heaven, thy name is [insert dessert of choice here]. It doesn’t take a genius to know that sweets trump suites any day of the week – but why choose between one or the other? Hotels today are serving up the good stuff, and we here at Oyster have dug into some of the most unique,…

A crackling fireplace, hot apple cider, vibrant leaves…these are just a few of the (amazing) things we associate with fall. And taking a cue from the dropping temperatures, at this time of year, hotels begin to entice travelers not with their refreshing pools or sandy beaches, but with cozy autumn amenities. From bed-and-breakfasts perfect for…
De onde eu vim existem apenas duas estações do ano: quente e mais quente ainda com chuva. Se você é do norte/nordeste do Brasil, você sabe bem do que estou falando. Devido a falta de experiência com mudanças climáticas, já passei por alguns percalços e, também, já fui gratamente surpreendida viajando durante diferentes estações do…
Hotels are travelers’ homes away from home — and sometimes their secrets retreats — so it’s no surprise that they’ve been the sites of many an invention, scandal… and even birth! While they operated under different circumstances than they do nowadays, and were not regularly referred to as hotels until the late 18th century, hotels…
You can’t fake a good sports city. In certain places, there’s just something in the air, or maybe in the water, that causes the locals to eat, breathe, and sleep sports. And there’s something special about these sports-freak towns that make them feel special to non-locals, too — even those who aren’t really into sports.…
