Thinking of visiting China, India, or Venezuela this year with a US passport? Not so fast — or at least not before securing a visa. Some of the best wonders of the world require US citizens to obtain a visa before take-off, an inconvenience in planning that long-awaited international getaway.

Not long ago, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey was viewed as one of the worst airports to have a layover in. But with the opening of the futuristic 1-million-square-foot Terminal A in January 2023, Newark Airport has had a glow-up—and the travel industry has noticed.

From Armani Hotels to Palazzo Versace, the fashion and hospitality worlds have long been amicable bedfellows. Last year alone saw the Christian Louboutin and Karl Lagerfeld brands open five-star properties—respectively, the Vermelho Hotel in Melides, Portugal and The Karl Lagerfeld Macau in China.

She has moved on, wisely. But Mongolia is still there. And it was time to go back.

Witnessing the natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis belongs on every traveler’s bucket list. But determining where to see the northern lights is a complex matter—actually encountering the majestic and alien-ish green and purple glow of the night sky is not only about location, but also timing (December to March is ideal in many instances; August through April in other parts), positioning (typically from latitudes 65 to 72 degrees North), and plain ol’ luck (a clear, dark, and cloud-free sky).

Finland has been dubbed the world's happiest country for six consecutive years by the World Happiness Report.
