When we announced we would be heading to the tiny Central American nation of Belize this summer, we were shocked by the number of people who had never even heard of it. “Belize? How do you spell that?” “Oh yeah, Belize … I’ve heard of that. What country is it in?” Even our bank and [...]

Between the luscious mountain landscapes and quintessential Welsh hillsides, the vibrant capital of the country lays waiting to be explored. Offering an eclectic mix of a calm, cultured ambiance combined with the buzz of city life, Cardiff is one of the top city break destinations the UK has to offer. Here are just a few [...]

They say time flies when you’re having fun, but it also flies when you’re just really, really busy. I can’t believe it’s already been two months since we bid goodbye to our cozy New England apartment and moved to the other side of the world: Tianjin, China. We’ve spent the past two months taking care [...]

Just a few weeks after we moved to China, we received a pretty cool offer from On Location Tours to join them as they visited some of the most famous television and movie sites in New York City. But since we won’t be back in the United States until at least next Fall, we informed [...]

It could have been worse. It could have been a lot worse. Despite our attempts to complete all of the requirements to obtain our Chinese z-visa (the one that allows you to live and work in the country long-term) before we moved to China, we were informed shortly after our arrival that we would need [...]

Right before we were set to move to China, it happened. It was a bit ill-timed, but otherwise not entirely unexpected.

The responses we received were very positive and encouraging, but more importantly, they were constructive. Readers did not hesitate to offer us specific ways in which we can improve the content we [...]

This is a guest post by our friend and fellow traveler, Mitch Nozka. Always on a quest to discover New England’s best day trips, my wife and I headed to Salem, Massachusetts. My criteria for visiting a town usually includes museums and historically-based attractions, and Salem seemed to satisfy these conditions. However, I did have [...]

“Where are you guys off to next? It seems like you’re always traveling!” We hear that a lot. Too much. From some, it’s genuine. From others, however, it’s condescending. Judgmental. Snide. I’m not always sure what they’re implying. Perhaps they think we’re all play and no work? Or maybe they think we blow all our [...]

This is a guest post from 30traveler The Perhentian Islands of Malaysia are brochure perfect. Perhentian Besar, the more grown-up of the twin Perhentian islands, is ideal for romance. Curiously, it’s equally well suited for couples traveling with toddlers, due to the low key vibe and bath-like water. I loved Perhentian Besar so much I [...]
