Whenever I travel to a new city, I’m fully prepared to spend some cash getting to know the place. In Edinburgh, I was surprised (and delighted) to find that I could do many of the best activities without touching my bank account. A budget traveler’s dream. The vast majority of the famous sites were free to enjoy in this gorgeous Scottish city and there were plenty of them. By the end of my trip, practically my entire budget went to food because I didn’t need to spend a penny on activities.

I was in the market for somewhere comfortable, centrally located, within my budget, and pet-friendly since my dog Bear was coming along.

Dec 18, 2024 | travellemming.com | Sky Ariella

Imagine a town overflowing with delectable restaurants, thriving small businesses, and adorable boutique stores. It’s surrounded by mountainous landscapes, easy to walk around, and it’s all less than two hours away from New York City on public transportation. Well, this place actually exists. It’s called New Paltz and it is one of the best places to visit in the Hudson Valley in my opinion. I grew up in this beautiful region and I’ve spent a great deal of time in its many municipalities.

Dec 11, 2024 | travellemming.com | Sky Ariella

The Amalfi Coast welcomes 5 million travelers each year to appreciate its beauty, top-notch food, and magical beaches [source].

Those two qualities didn’t thrill me as a solo traveler in Italy, which is why I was so excited to discover the lesser-known gem of Sant’Agnello.

Before I arrived in the bustling Spanish capital, I anticipated a long list of things to do.

I hate seafood. Dining out in Japan was a struggle.

Jul 21, 2024 | travellemming.com | Matthew Reppond |Laura Falin |Claudicet Pena |Sky Ariella

All you fishy fanatics better cut me a break on this one. I’ll come right out and say it – I hate seafood. I rarely had opportunities to try great-quality seafood growing up in a landlocked state. However, whenever I did branch out and give it a go in Arizona, I always ended up disgusted and disappointed. Something about that fishy smell and rubbery texture gives me immediate nausea.
