My teenagers still love to travel with me on family vacations. I hope they want to in the future.

When I started working remotely in 2017 with the hopes of advancing in my career while traveling, my parents thought I was throwing away a successful life for no reason. To them, success meant the stability of a job that required staying in one place, working traditional hours, and showing up in person.

Booking a Caribbean or Mexican getaway just got cheaper. Frontier Airlines recently announced a special promotion that drops the number of miles for a one-way flight to international destinations from the United States to only 100 miles, whereas it usually is 15,000 miles. Best of all, the discounted mile redemptions also extend to select domestic routes, with one-way flights available at 2,500 miles versus the regular 10,000 miles.  The promotion runs through January 24, 2025, giving travelers extra time to plan the ultimate vacation to the Caribbean or Mexico. Travelers can book the deal on Frontier’s website.  Frontier offers service to a variety of Caribbean destinations including:

Up until a few months ago, if someone had asked me if I had ever been to or heard of Bonaire, an island in the Dutch Caribbean, I probably would’ve given them a puzzled look and answered, “Bon-where?”

Soaring granite peaks, glacier-carved valleys, and a myriad of geothermally-heated hot springs are just a handful of reasons that thousands of Americans venture to the Swiss Alps each year.

London has the most congested roads in Europe for the fourth year in a row, according to a new analysis.

Namia River Retreat opened last month on the banks of the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, a coastal city in central Vietnam. The tranquil setting — all 60 villas stand between the water and a palm forest — inspires the resort’s wellness program. Activities include yoga, meditation and duong sinh (an Indigenous form of tai chi) sessions and swimming in the saltwater pool; there’s also access to riverside saunas, bamboo bicycles to explore Hoi An and sunset river cruises. An indoor-outdoor spa specializes in traditional Vietnamese medicine using herbs grown on the property and in nearby gardens. The villas themselves are more indulgent than you might expect at a wellness resort. Each comes with a private pool, a sunken bathtub and an outdoor shower, while the décor is replete with local touches, from the ash-wood furniture made in nearby Da Nang to the artisan-carved wooden wall hangings and photographs depicting Vietnamese life. And for food, you can choose between two restaurants: the Fisherman, a seafood spot, and the Merchant, where the playful menu offers cocktails inspired by street food (the Hoi An Chicken Rice Com Ga features a local rum infused with rice and chicken broth) and equally nontraditional dishes like cao lau carbonara, whose sauce is made with duck egg.

When I traveled around Europe, visiting places like France, Great Britain, and the Czech Republic, several things instantly stood out about how different living in Europe was from living in the US.

If I told you that an all-inclusive ski vacation to The French Alps for a family of four can be cheaper than a trip to Aspen, you’d be correct to think, “prove it.” I certainly would.

To pack for a ski vacation, you’ll be faced with a mountain of gear that you’ll need to thin out by at least half. Annoyingly, snow apparel is bulky, and there’s no way around that other than investing in decent packing cubes to reduce volume. So my first tip, if you don’t have packing aids already, is to get onto Amazon and treat yourself to a set of mixed-sized compression bags. Read reviews first because price dictates the quality of zips, and there’s nothing more frustrating than a split zipper when you’re flying out the next day.

With a bit of thoughtful planning, you can take in the sights, smells, and flavors of the South of France with a fancy spot to come home to each night, thanks to these epic and affordable Airbnbs.

Here are the 13 dreamiest Airbnb South of France rentals for a fantastic stay in the region.

When it comes to flying, I usually just take my seat in coach.
