We believe in the overall travel principle that less is often more. Short trips with fewer destinations means more time spent absorbing and really connecting to a locale. Less baggage to carry around means more freedom on the road. And we always love when things work out to be more bang for less buck! This…
This story originally appeared on Yahoo! Travel. There’s a reason standard rooms are called “standard.” They often follow a pretty basic, cookie-cutter formula of providing simple, comfortable accommodations that are on the cheaper end of a hotel’s offerings. Guests booking these rooms get all the standard amenities — often free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges —…
When we think of fairytale retreats, we think of cozy cottages and dramatic castles. On the cottage front, we’re picturing spots with gingerbread architecture, charming historic style, or homey interiors with roaring fireplaces (though we imagine Hansel and Gretel wouldn’t be too pleased about the latter offering). And when it comes to castles, we’re dreaming…
Black Friday is quickly approaching. Prepare yourself. While this day is famous for holiday music and amazing deals, it’s infamous for long lines and crazed shoppers who seem to need that last toy on the shelf just a little too badly — and there’s no way their kid was better than yours in 2014!

From…
We’re taught as children not to judge a book by its cover, but does that principle apply to hotels? After all, when it comes to a spot that you’ve likely spent a good amount of money on, the first impression can make a big difference — and can be a pretty accurate indicator of what…
Aruba, Jamaica, Ooohh we wanna take ya…to the Caribbean for $125/night. Okay, we know those aren’t the exact lyrics, but it’s true: We did some research so we could give you the deets on the best budget picks in the Caribbean this time of year. The price: $125/night. The dates: November 1st through 8th. And…
In our original post, we brought you from Nantucket to Kauai and everywhere in between, offering perfectly captured glimpses of our country’s most beautiful vistas. But we’d be biased if we only shared our stunning photos of the United States. So we packed our bags and headed to Europe in search of its best vantage…
This post originally appeared on Yahoo! Travel. Traveling can be expensive. After all, hotels, transportation, dining, and sight-seeing add up quickly! But one way to lessen the financial load is to opt for hostels over hotels; these budget-oriented spots have an undeserved bad rap. Sure, they’re usually bare bones when it comes to accommodations, but…
