This month at TravelPulse we launched a new travel industry show called Travel Advisor Teatime.
Fifteen years ago, seeking reconnection and to fuel our flames in the bedroom, my husband and I ditched our three kids for a weekend-long couples’ retreat called “Better Communication, Better Sex,” at the Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa in Tucson, Ariz. There were separate workshops for women and men, a detailed anatomy review, exercises to encourage affection and expression, and nightly “homework,” with accessories provided (think a feather and some massage oil). End result: The fire’s still burning.
There are currently more than 100,000 people in Los Angeles who have been displaced by the ongoing wildfires. As Travel + Leisure shares hotels and vacation rentals with significantly reduced rates for Angelenos who are evacuating or have lost their homes, the question becomes: How much will insurance actually cover for short- or long-term hotel stays? Put another way, how significant do hotel discounts need to be in order to not cost displaced Angelenos money out of their own pockets?
I was recently invited to a festival in Ibiza, the Balearic island known for its turquoise waters, untamed coastlines, and electronic music-fueled parties. But this invite wasn’t to Mike Posner’s Ibiza—the pills would instead be homeopathic ones touting health and wellbeing, and the headliners included biohacker Ben Greenfield, Los Angeles-based trainer Kim Strother, and women’s health and menopausal expert Dr. Jessica Shepard. Hosted at Six Senses Ibiza, a secluded resort on the island’s northern tip, the event blended music, healing practices, and communal experiences. Called Alma (Spanish for “soul”), its themes span psychedelic breath work and sex chats to sound healing and biohacking. “Longevity is a key pillar of what we do,” Alma Festival founder Talana Bestall tells Traveler.
Street theft isn’t petty to a victim. Having your pocket picked or bags stolen can ruin your trip and your finances.
Sometimes the perfect meal while traveling is one that you can put together yourself.
Nicole Sunderland first caught the travel bug over two decades ago when she sold magazines door to door around the country.
With Thanksgiving just a few weeks away, domestic flight deals have largely evaporated. But the holiday week, when many Americans stay home or fly within the United States, is a golden window for affordable international travel, even for last-minute flights.
There’s no feeling quite like booking a much-needed vacation—research has shown that planning a trip or choosing a hotel alone can increase dopamine levels before you even take off. And if it feels like you have a daily routine that just drags on, travel can make life feel longer in a more fulfilling and indulgent way. But figuring out the best time to fly can be tricky.
The coming year is prime time for a cruise vacation, and there have never been more options for travelers looking to spend time at sea.

With sweater weather in full swing, it’s officially time to start revamping your cold-weather wardrobe for the new season. And when it comes to winter wear, you can never go wrong with a high-quality sweater. Ultimately, when it comes to selecting the perfect sweater, you’re in luck: Dozens of options are available across a wide range of colors, materials, and silhouettes to suit your personal style preferences. Speaking of the latter, you may opt for ones made with super-soft, lightweight, and durable materials, such as cashmere or wool. Some come with bonus features like four-way stretch, offering a greater range of motion for those on the move, while others are machine washable for easy cleaning.
Navigating the world of airline loyalty programs can be extremely challenging. Understanding mileage programs involves confusing tables and complex math for how flights, status, and other perks are accessed. It gets even more complicated when carriers suddenly change how points are earned and redeemed or devalue them. To help take some of the guesswork out of which companies offer the best value for travelers, Point.me, a points and travel reward search platform, just released its inaugural ranking of 62 global airline loyalty programs.
The best time to visit Ireland—to see green countrysides and impressive castles, to learn about Celtic history, to rub elbows with friendly and funny Irish folks—is any time of year. Whether you want to visit for the breathtaking beauty of Ireland’s rock formations or medieval architecture, or just to drink a whole lot of Guinness, the key to a good visit to Ireland is to time it just right.

Putting together an Ireland packing list means preparing for the unpredictable. “The old cliché of four seasons in one day in Ireland is true,” says Cathrine Burke, co-owner of the modern luxury boutique hotel Breac House in Dunfanaghy. Navigating this beautiful yet capricious weather requires a thoughtful approach. So I sought out professional packing tips from experts like Burke, and Sara Banks—founder of Dublin-based SteamLine Luggage and 20-year Ireland resident. (Her collection of vintage-inspired luggage and bags would look right at home inside Irish castles and historic boutique hotels.)
Beloved travel writer and TV personality Rick Steves revealed he’s been diagnosed with prostate cancer and will take a break from filming his travel show.
It’s the wild, wild west these days across America’s dining scene. They’re taxing tips. You’re getting nudged away from your table after ninety minutes with a check you never asked for. If you’re not on your toes at all times, you’ll end up tipping 20% on the water bottle you grabbed from a self-service refrigerator. Whether you live here or are merely visiting, it’s hard to know what exactly is expected of you when dining out in this ever-shifting nation. We have, after all, only just emerged blinking and shivering wet from a quarantine-which-shall-not-be-named that variously rewrote and obliterated many of our societal norms. Menus are on QR codes, there’s a restaurant-loyalty app that lets you pay without speaking to the waiter and it’s depressing Pete Wells (as well as this writer), yada yada.
