During the old days of traveling, one of the things I loved the most about being in an airport is to spend time strolling through the magazine and newspaper stalls, looking at the vast selection of freshly-off-the-press magazines. I always ended up buying one or two, and they kept piling up in my home. I […]

Try this free travel hack."One of my conclusions from traveling the world is that there is one common denominator about (almost) every hotel out there, and that is about breakfast.

Read more "SPG and Marriott Rewards are linked"Croatia has always been kind of my favorite place to spend summer in Europe.
