If you binged the first five episodes of Outer Banks season four last night, you may be asking yourself—or Google, which brought you here—where was Outer Banks filmed? If you thought the answer was the actual Outer Banks in North Carolina, you're wrong.

If you're looking for a true breath of fresh air in the most literal sense, the pros at QR Code Generator have a new study you're going to want to see. In September, the team unveiled the findings of its newest study, which showed which U.S. and European destinations have the lowest pollution rates, offering the cleanest air possible for travelers and locals alike. 

If all goes according to plan, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) may soon go from worst to first in nationwide rankings.

In less than five decades, the Maldives has become the superlative destination for luxe stays and romantic interludes. Powdery beaches aside, what makes the archipelago truly unique is that each tropical island contains only one hotel. Hideaway villas and bans on using drones maintain privacy whereas intuitive all-inclusive packages handle everything from transfers to poolside punch.

It's 12 p.m. on Thursday and I am running through the streets of Brooklyn. I have to be out of New York City and on the highway north to reach Storm King Art Center by 3 p.m., when Charli XCX will be bumping her new album at a surprise listening party. Streaming in from directions unknown, hundreds of other fans have likewise shirked their responsibilities for the day—skipping work and school, canceling plans, ditching kids with partners—and booked it to this 500-acre sculpture park in New Windsor, New York, on the vague premise of exclusively hearing Charli XCX's latest music the day before the album's release. Some have taken four-hour trains; others, carpooled with strangers; the most die-hard brats are seeing her for the fourth or fifth time, after having followed her to California, Spain, and beyond. For her part, I know Charli herself will be on a plane the minute the show ends, given she's in the middle of her North America tour.

Alaska Airlines is ending one of its newest routes from Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE).

Are your ready for it? Since its kickoff in March 2023, tens of millions of fans have clamored to attend one of the 152 shows making up Taylor Swift's Eras Tour — which has become highest-grossing tour in history.  And for good reason: this three-hour concert by the most prolific and talented songwriter of our generation will rock your world. (Is my bias showing?)

An iconic Las Vegas property will soon make a dramatic exit.  The Tropicana, one of the original Las Vegas hotels built in 1957 which closed earlier this year, will be imploded in the early hours of Wednesday morning at 2:30 a.m. PST.

This weekend’s astonishing solar activity was the opening act for another interstellar marvel: the Draconid meteor shower, which peaks late on Oct. 7 into Oct. 8. The Draconids aren’t as celebrated as other meteor showers, like the Perseids, but this year’s event does align with a dim waxing crescent moon that sets around 9 p.m. local time. That means there’s no lunar light to wash out the show. And, if you watch from adark-sky perch, you could catch up to 10 soaring meteors per hour. Here’s everything you need to know about catching the 2024 Draconid meteor shower, including where to look in the night sky and how to improve your shooting-star odds.

A lot can happen in nine years — more than two presidential terms and your child's high school and college graduation, for example.

Born in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, Nemonte Nenquimo, an Indigenous Waorani woman and activist, traveled a long and arduous path to become one of the earth’s fiercest defenders. In her new memoir, We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People, released September 17, she shares the story of that journey, charting her experience growing up in the forest—a place where months are measured in moons, shamans and plant medicines heal, and dreams and intuition guide one’s path in life—as well as the pain and trauma inflicted by missionaries, oil companies, and governments that have long attempted to erase Indigenous culture and exploit their homelands. Now a leading figure in climate activism, Nenquimo’s book is also the first of its kind to be written by an Indigenous person from the Ecuadorian Amazon, where ancestral knowledge and wisdom about life in the forest have been passed down orally for millenia and the tradition of storytelling never manifests on paper. “For us, stories are living beings,” she writes in the introduction. “Our stories have never been written down. Not like this.”

Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour" returns to the U.S. next month, and while I'm no Swiftie, I have a 9-year-old daughter who's a massive fan. I may not be able to belt out the lyrics to many of her songs, but I do have a ton of experience leveraging my travel credit cards and knowledge of points and miles to make memories with my family.

Not all oceanside vacations are created equal, and one trip to Wilmington and our island beaches will show you why we’re the crown jewel of coastal getaways in the Carolinas. With the city’s historic River District and Riverwalk, along with three island beaches just minutes away, there’s plenty to explore. Expect to encounter turquoise waters, exceptional sand, one-of-a-kind nature escapes, and award-winning chefs and breweries — just a few of the many attractions you’ll fall in love with on this slice of the North Carolina coast.

I think of myself as a well-traveled individual with a very solid knowledge of geography and tourist sights. Most of the people at Matador Network see themselves in the same way. After all, we live and breathe travel day in, day out. Yet, apparently, none of us know much about Germany.

The leaves are turning, which means it’s time to get in the car and enjoy one of nature’s greatest shows. One thing that can quickly sap the serenity is inching along in traffic, as several thousand people pick the same leaf-peeping spot that you do.

When I first leveled up from casual running to my first marathon, I went to my local Fleet Feet in Hoboken, New Jersey, to buy a pair of real running sneakers. After an extensive chat and consultation, I was pointed towards a pair of Brooks Running shoes.
