How many countries have you visited? I’ve logged 33 to date, a discovery I made after mapping them with Pin Traveler. The app makes it super simple to track the wonderful places I’ve explored. Pinning destinations was a trip down memory lane. A blurry one, at times. It’s not that I don’t remember my travels. It’s just that I habitually arrive in a new destination and assault it with a checklist of must-sees, must-dos and must-eats. My vacations are exhausting.

London offers fun for families, but finding the right place to stay is crucial. Based on experience, I recommend skipping the hotel and booking a flat through Airbnb instead. You'll have a more authentic experience, have room to spread out and you might even save a few pounds!My adult children are very lucky. They have jobs. The downside is that their employers sometimes send them thousands of miles away from Mom and Dad to work.

Quebec City is absolute magic. This UNESCO World Heritage site, with its historic stone buildings and cobblestone streets, oozes European charm. The best way to explore is on foot, as I discovered during a solo fall trip. It was the pick-me-up I needed. Although I adore the autumn vibe - cozy flannels, crunchy leaves and pumpkin spice everything - I know winter's coming. So I get a little blue. But my walking tour turned my mood around.
