​We’re coming up on a big problem that isn’t really being talked about that much. A problem that could seriously hurt the aviation industry in the coming years.

There’s a shortage of airline pilots and that shortage is only expected to get worse. What makes this problem even more glaring is the fact that air travel is becoming more popular. Yeah, not a good combination. Even I can do the math on that one.


Where does the problem begin?

​Even though it may not seem like it to all of you reading this north of the Mason-Dixon line, summer is on final approach. And that means individuals and families everywhere will start looking for places to go over the summer (which, by the way, I’d read this and this before you make a final decision). However, airlines and airplane manufacturers have been in the headlines as of late after two fatal plane crashes involved Boeing’s 737 Max. So which airline should you choose to fly on and which ones should you avoid?

Based on this list from WalletHub, I’ll break down which airlines are the best in all the categories that matter to you:

  • Cheapest
  • Most comfortable
  • Most reliable
  • Least complained-about
  • Most pet friendly
  • Best overall

​Wanna get away? Silly question. Of course you do. Who doesn’t? A better question would be to ask yourself “where should I go?” With 2019 well under way and people planning for their spring or summer vacations, the world is at your doorstep.

I will break down some of the top trends emerging for 2019. I will also break down the good and bad of those trends, which will hopefully help you make a decision about whether you want to be among the group of people that follow those trends or, alternatively, break away from the pack.

Is Overtourism Becoming a Real Problem?

It’s pretty cool to live in a day and age in which it’s easier than ever to travel halfway around the world. All you have to do is hop on a plane and in a half-day’s time you’ll be on the other side of the earth. Like I said, pretty cool.

But it’s not all good. When something is that easy to do, a lot of people end up doing it. And when you add that with the advent of social media influencers whose job it is to travel full time and - well, influence you to travel - you end up getting a picture that looks pretty worrisome.


Overtourism or toxic tourism?

The Most Romantic Honeymoon Destinations in the World

​The one thing many (all?) newlyweds want during their honeymoon is romance. 

Just imagine… the two of you holding hands, walking down a beach with the perfect sunset happening in front of you. Shut your eyes for a second and imagine that.

Whatever it is that you thought of, whether it was a specific location or just some random beach in your head, that scenario can actually happen to you if you visit many of the places on this list. Some of these places are landlocked, but most of the places I have on this list are surrounded by water.

I should also mention, many of these places are not budget destinations at all. Of course, at risk of sounding like a broken record (if you're a regular), you can save quite a bit by using points and miles but some of the more high end locations could still set you back.

With that said, here are the most romantic honeymoon destinations in the world:

Dirtiest Places on Airplanes

1/2/2019

​Do you ever feel like you’re more susceptible to getting sick when on a plane? Well, turns out there’s a good reason for that. Science shows that you actually are more likely to get sick on an airplane. According to the World Health Organization, one of the main reasons for that is because of the humidity in an airplane cabin, which is under 20%. At home, the humidity is typically above 30%. The dry air on board will affect your mucus production, which is an integral first-line of defense for your body’s immune system.

​What does this all mean? Simply put, you’re more likely to catch the common cold on a plane than off the plane. And that’s a total bummer! Because who wants to get sick, for example, before your vacation even starts??


Thankfully, there are things you can do to help yourself avoid that fate.

So, what are the dirtiest places on an airplane?

But enough about me. Which posts did you read the most? Here they are:

Much like dads, travelers can be kinda difficult to buy gifts for, ya know what I mean??

In all seriousness, one of the things that makes gift buying difficult for travelers is the simple fact that no one traveler is alike. With that said, knowing them will almost always be beneficial for you. Personally, an airline gift card would work just fine for me!


There are some gifts, however, that you just can’t go wrong with. That is why I decided to make a list of wicked-awesome gear for that traveler in your life. The best part? All of the shtuff on this list is extremely useful! ​

The Dirtiest Places in Your Hotel Room

11/7/2018

​It’s no secret, hotel rooms are dirty. I don’t mean they “can be” dirty. They are dirty. Period. It doesn’t matter if you shelled out an arm and a leg for the room, there will be germs looking to do you harm everywhere when you walk into the room (actually, it starts before you walk into the room, but I’ll get into that in a minute).

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t to accuse any hotel chains of not cleaning rooms between guests. Clearly, they all do. But there’s a difference between cleaning and disinfecting.

So if you’re a germaphobe, have sanitizer ready to make yourself feel better.

What is it about being scared that people love so much? The thrill? The mystery? I’m not sure, but there’s a reason haunted houses, for example, are so popular. However, what if I told you that there are places in the world that are waaaaaay better than haunted houses? These places have a real history behind them. And while none of them are confined to just a “house,” they may all be haunted.
