Picture yourself in Lisbon with Elsewhere

The average price of a hotel in Austria tends to be over $200 a night — even higher if you want a five-star experience.

Paris never fails to capture the hearts of tourists, and many now choose to stay in a home-away-from-home holiday rental. 

Allegiant Air, a low-cost airline based in Las Vegas, recently published dozens of last-minute flight deals to popular destinations throughout Florida, including Fort Myers, Tampa, and Orlando. The deals also extend to popular winter getaways such as Las Vegas and Phoenix, and best of all, most of the flights are under $70 one-way. 

The Danish brand Vipp was founded in 1939 with a single design: a waste bin. In the decades since, its product line has expanded to include a full furniture range, lighting and home accessories. In 2014, Vipp opened its first guesthouse, a contemporary prefab cabin near Lake Immeln, in southern Sweden. It now runs nine vacation rentals in Europe and, as of today, is taking reservations for its first in North America, a five-bedroom home in Todos Santos on the Pacific Coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. Sofie Christensen Egelund, the third generation co-owner of Vipp, was introduced to the region by the Mexico City-based architect Pablo Pérez Palacios, who’s behind the property’s design. The 3,800-square-foot home has a rooftop pool and open interiors that highlight natural materials: The walls are made of rammed earth, while window shutters are woven from branches of the local Palo de Arco tree. Furnishings include some of Vipp’s own pieces as well as the brand’s signature kitchen, a modular system with minimalist hardware. Pérez Palacios sees the final space as “an ongoing dialogue between Mexican and Danish design sensibilities.”

Checking your cruise luggage with an airline can be a scary proposition, especially when you factor in possible weather delays or missed connections that can separate you from your bags. The farther you have to fly, the scarier it becomes.

Authoritarian governments are not known for taking kindly to criticism. And in Egypt, official skins can be especially thin: deepening repression has muffled most dissent and sent tens of thousands of perceived political opponents to jail, including one for posting a doctored photo of the president with Mickey Mouse ears.
