I've been on 50 cruises. Here are 5 things I never buy on the ships.

For those who have a fear of flying, stepping onto an airplane can be anxiety-inducing.

When I was a kid, I took lots of trips—to the bathroom. I couldn’t put on weight, and everything I ate upset my stomach. In high school, I was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, an incurable irritable bowel disease like ulcerative colitis, which my mother and brother also suffer from. Chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, resulting in diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain, among other symptoms, is debilitating at worst and embarrassing at best. Still, thanks to an amazing gastroenterologist, a major surgery, and a cocktail of prescription medications including Infliximab infusions every eight weeks, I haven’t let it stop me from seeing the world. In fact, in the past 18 months I’ve touched down on all seven continents in my career as a travel writer.

I spent three months traveling to different cities throughout Europe. Although I'd already been to some of the places I visited — London, Madrid, and Lisbon — most of my destinations were completely new to me.

I've dreamed of travel ever since my uncle gave me a subscription to National Geographic magazine for my 8th birthday.

Calling all beach bums: the Maldives is a region famous for its palm-fringed desert islands, most of them surrounded by gin-clear water teeming with tropical fish.

Spring break is one of the most popular times of year to visit Disney World. The weather is usually mild, and many kids across the country are off school, making it extra convenient.

I grew up going to Disney almost every year, and now that I am a parent, I've passed that tradition on to my children.

There are plenty of iconic symbols that come to mind when I think of Japan — like towering pagodas and red torii gates. But the country has also become famous for its breathtaking cherry blossoms.

Between 1932 and 2021, Air India went from being the gold standard of aviation under the Tata Group to a nationalized airline in complete disarray.
