I had no idea that there was more than one Vancouver until I moved to Seattle. And honestly, I still didn’t know about it until meeting more friends down in Portland.

While Lisbon is probably the most popular destination in Portugal, the city of Faro is starting to increase in popularity. It used to be mostly a winter-sun destination for Brits, but with the many direct flights to Faro and Ryanair calling it a hub now, you can very easily and cheaply get here to enjoy [...]

While most folks flock to Florida’s more popular destinations, like Key West, St Augustine, or Orlando, Tampa is one hotspot that is often skipped – a shame, because offers a well-rounded variety of cultural sightseeing, a world class amusement park, and access to what I think are some of the best beaches in Florida.

Getting away from London can be a challenge – there’s so much to see and do there to take up days and days – but if you do you’ll see how diverse and unique England’s travel opportunities are. One aspect of England relatively undiscovered are the scenic railway lines – trains used to criss-cross Great [...]
