How to Travel the Right Way
1. Research. Research. Research. Even if you've already decided where you want to go, it's still important to research a lot. Think about what you want to get out of the holiday, and the kind of things you want to do. It's not worth it to think 'we'll decide when we're there' or 'we'll decide each morning'. Sure, you don't have to plan out each day minute-by-minute, but at least make a list of possibilities so when you're fed up of sitting by the pool everyday you actually have something to do without having to search on your phone with the shitty hotel wifi. Just saying, though, one of the best holidays I've ever had, we planned out what 'activity' we were going to do each day, so we made the most of the island we were on (it was also a lot easier to budget and I even spent a lot less than I expected, instead of a lot more like I usually did).

How to Have the Greatest Adventure in Buenos Aires, Argentina
The first steps I took out of Ezeiza Airport were met with sunshine and warmth that my Chicago-dwelling self was not used to. When I hosted the girl who I later lived with in Buenos Aires, she told me how their fall season (March-May) was colder than their summer season (December-February). However, the Argentine sun shone true, and no matter what when you travel to this beautiful country, it will likely not be colder than 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why Cruise?
Consider the benefits of seeing the world from the bow of a ship, spending time touring more than one destination, with the added bonus of unpacking only once. Whether you set sail looking for specific destinations or your destination is actually the ship experience itself, there are as many choices as there are unique guests ready to embark on a vacation at sea. Finding the perfect fit for your trip is key to making an enjoyable vacation into a truly memorable event that you will cherish for years to come.

4 Reasons Why You Should Travel
In the summer of 2017, I decided to travel to Cape Town, South Africa for three months. My family thought I was nuts. They were proud of my adventurous spirit but couldn’t fathom why I would choose to travel to a country so far away from home. Aside from a few members of the military, there aren’t many people in my family that have traveled out of the country. In fact, most haven’t ever left the state. But this only empowered me even more to travel, explore, and gain an experience I once only dreamed of.
