I'm a New Yorker, and until October 2021, I'd never been to Miami.
Looking for warmth and a change of scenery, I made my first trip to Florida's Magic City. During my visit, I explored a range of neighborhoods. I was surprised by the many key similarities and differences between Miami and NYC, where I've lived for five years now.

I'm an annual passholder who's been visiting Disney World for over 30 years. Having at least one big meal a day to look forward to helps me take a break from the Florida heat and refuel before returning to the parks.
Miss out on a European summer vacation this year? Well, there's still plenty of time to book a fall or winter trip this year — and if you book right now, you can score an amazing airfare deal. Budget airline Norse Atlantic Airways just dropped the sale of the year, allowing you to fly to Europe for as little as $109 (one way, that is).
Over the coming weeks, some 15 million visitors will descend upon Paris for the 2024 Olympics. And many will linger longer, hitting the country’s hotspots such as the much-loved Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, which already teems with travelers. So if you’ve been eyeing a hotel nestled in the quaint town of Gordes, or dreaming about a dip off the coast of Antibes or Saint-Tropez, you might want to think again. But that doesn’t mean you have to rule out a sojourn to the South of France altogether–other sunny locations including lesser-trafficked Marseille and the Luberon Valley, sans Masseratis and glitzy Gucci slides, are indeed worthwhile for a quiet city break.
Norwegian Cruise Line will call Philadelphia home in 2026, becoming the first cruise line to sail from the city in years.

For a weeklong trip to Florida in 2021, I traveled round-trip from New York to Miami on Amtrak trains. Each ride was about 30 hours long, and my tickets included a private room with a bed, access to a bathroom, and complimentary meals.
Skift Global Forum – happening September 17-19, 2024 in New York City – is an essential event for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve in the travel industry.
When settling on a place to live, cost of living is certainly a factor. But so is the recreation opportunities.
The Althoff Collection is set to relaunch the historic “Villa Kennedy” as “The Florentin,” a luxury hotel in Frankfurt with 147 rooms, opening in summer 2025.
I'm zooming across Gull Lake in a Malibu Wakesetter 22 LSV powerboat, which I've been told has enough torque to rocket me to the moon. The water is 77 degrees, warmed by a sun that just won't quit. Captain Amanda Nash and instructor Matt Soundy barely look old enough to drink, yet both are skilled wake surfers, excited to show me their TikTok moves. They're living the wet, hot American dream here in central Minnesota: zigzagging across six-foot swells, sucking down root beer floats, and partying every night after work. They're fun gossips too, pointing out the rumored lake homes of Tom Cruise and some med-tech bajillionaire who allegedly imported his own beach sand because the lake sand wasn't “white enough.” I enjoy the chitchat, but I'm here to launch my own wakeboarding career—one of several ways I'm trying to embrace the “lake life” I've heard so much about since moving to Minnesota six years ago. The state is the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” as its license plates proudly attest, but as my New Yorker husband, Andrew, and I learned, that motto rounds the number down: There are actually 11,842, if you want to get persnickety about it.
