Looking for a romantic weekend getaway? Kevin and I just got back from a wedding in Cabo San Lucas, one of Mexico’s most popular resort cities on the Baja peninsula. Cabo makes an easy trip from Los Angeles — especially over a long weekend — since it’s just a 2.5…
Looking for ideas to celebrate New Years Eve in Dubai in 2020? You came to the right spot. There are few cities in the world that go as over the top as Dubai during the New Year — from the spectacular fireworks display at the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai…
Not sure what to bring on your next southeast Asia adventure? We got you covered with our top picks on what to pack for Singapore. Lots of shopping in Singapore, but come prepared. We lay out the best packing tips for Singapore. Kevin and I just got back from 3…
