Share The Article Those from the Midwest claim, “The Midwest is best!”. I gotta say I agree since my born-and-raised Missourian ex-girlfriend moved to Texas, but I digress…The summer slice of paradise I'm about to reveal isn't St. Louis or anywhere close — it's a charming lake town in Wisconsin lined with cozy inns and down-home delights, plus nice resorts along the vibrant shores of Lake Michigan's Green Bay brimming with outdoor adventures.

Share The Article Japan may be able to 3-D print a brand new train station at the drop of a hat, but Mexico is a little behind the times. As such, a new airport is more than worthy of celebrating. It's not every day that travelers have a new destination to travel to, especially one that is so close to home. No, we're not talking about Tulum. That's old news.

Share The Article As iconic and exhilarating as London may be, there's no doubt it's pricey. In fact, I was going through my travel receipts as one does last-minute on Tax Day and totally forgot I paid over $100 per ticket for a classic, bright red double-decker bus ride…in the rain. Whomp, whomp, whomp. And that's before the overpriced pints of what Brits call beer, fish and chips tourist traps, and hotels' sky-high rates, no matter where you choose to rest your head in the city.

Share The Article California and savings don't often belong in the same sentence. Take it from me, a San Diego resident who bought an electric car to avoid California's notoriously high fuel prices, only to double my electric bill, which costs more than my previous gas expenses from the clunker I traded in. Go figure. For travelers, though, finding budget getaways in the Golden State isn't an easy task.

Share The Article Sometimes, Americans ignore Mexico's wonders, thinking Cancun, Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta are the only beach destinations worth visiting. As for Mexico's sprawl of cityscapes, Mexico City seems to be the exception to unwritten rules, as our southern neighbor is misrepresented mainly as a ‘dangerous' country, when in fact, a majority of violent crime happens in specific regions off the beaten path from any welcoming locations.
