48 Hours in New York

9 Affordable Things to do in Cuba

9 Affordable Things to do in Cuba

Does travelling ever feel like you are taking a step forward or a leap back in time? If you don’t have much of an idea what I’m talking about, going to Cuba will definitely reveal the sentiment to you. Experiencing Cuba is like time traveling to the 1940’s or 1950’s. The United States imposed an embargo on the country in 1958, which explains all of the old cars you will see rolling around old Havana. However, Cuba’s revolution in the 1960’s is the biggest reason that this country feels different than any other. It’s one of the last places to experience the impact communism had on the world. Depending on your perspective, this whole country could seem like a world heritage site. Even though its is small in size, there are plenty of things to do in Cuba that will make your trip memorable. The main point of interest in…

Where to Stay in Havana

Where to stay in Havana

Havana is Cuba’s largest city and with U.S. restrictions on travel loosening up, it’s becoming more popular each day. Until 2016, Americans were largely restricted from visiting Cuba, and a lack of American imported products meant Cuba remained somewhat frozen in time. Most notably, seeing and renting vintage vehicles was a popular activity in Havana. While U.S. laws have been fluctuating recently, citizens of other countries have been enjoying travel to Cuba for years. Havana is most likely where you will enter and leave the country, and you will want to spend a few days there before exploring the rest of the country. In addition to a growing number of hotels available, a popular way to stay in Cuba is to stay in a “casa particular” or a private home. These are increasingly available on sites like Airbnb, so you’re not out of luck if you don’t know anyone in…

That does’t mean you can’t visit Yellowstone affordably, it just means you need to do some preplanning. The bonus is that my budget-friendly tips will also enhance your park experience.

Yellowstone National Park on a Budget

Yellowstone National Park is one of those places that is on everyone’s bucket list…or should be. Geysers shooting thermally heated water high into the air, bison and elk roaming around what’s known as the “Serengeti of America,” rainbow-ringed hot springs, and summer wildflower carpets draw millions of people a year. You would think a national park trip would be cheap, but with high hotel rates in the park, expensive food, and lots of driving, costs add up. That doesn’t mean you can’t visit Yellowstone affordably, it just means you need to do some preplanning. The bonus is that my budget-friendly tips will also enhance your park experience. Lodging It’s really nice to stay inside the park, but Yellowstone lodging is quite spendy. Staying outside the park in one of the Gateway towns can be less expensive, but it’s not cheap. Hotels in West Yellowstone or Gardiner, Montana are the best buys.…

14 Things to do in San Francisco

14 Things to do in San Francisco

San Francisco is a unique melting pot of California and international cultures, and an excellent destination for visitors to explore. When people think of California, they often picture sunny beaches and blonde, tan-skinned healthy people. What surprises visitors most about San Francisco is the climate.
