Sleep tips

If you’ve ever heard yourself utter the phrase, you’re a bit out of step with the latest trends. Getting a good 8 to 10 hours is a priority for Gen Z and other generations too.

I always travel with packing cubes to save space in my bag, but I recently learned they serve another purpose as a pillow when I'm traveling on overnight trains and red-eye flights.

These days, the hotel world is abuzz with “sleep tourism,” a clever albeit trendy marketing term used to describe programming that extends beyond blackout curtains and soft, plush bedding. A 2016 study in the Current Biology journal expands on the “first-night effect” in human sleep research — stating that new environments often cause tossing and turning. So, then what’s a weary traveler to do while — trying— to sleep in New York City (aka the city that never sleeps)?

If there’s one site you cannot pass on while visiting Barcelona, it’s La Sagrada Família. The immense basilica is famed architect Antoni Gaudí’s most celebrated creation and the most iconic edifice in a city filled with great architecture. Taking a guided tour of this UNESCO World heritage site is a no-brainer, but you can do much better than a quick visit if you want to admire the site. Booking a hotel near La Sagrada Família (maybe even a hotel with views of the basilica) will allow you to see Gaudí’s last and most cherished project again and again. After all, you can never get enough.

Utah’s Bryce Canyon National Park showcases the largest collection of hoodoos — thin spires of rock — and despite its name, it’s not actually a canyon but rather a series of natural amphitheaters carved into the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The park is relatively small compared to other national parks in the state, like Zion, Arches, and Canyonlands. The 18-mile scenic road that runs north-south through the park traces the rims of the amphitheaters for the most part and has turnoffs for viewpoints, hiking trailheads, and picnic areas. Small or not, the park can afford you days of on-foot exploration, and the varying levels of hiking difficulty and length mean there’s something for everyone. There’s no need to rush. Staying for a few days gives you ample time to explore the region and immerse yourself in the desert.

A former fishing village that’s become one of the most posh spots in Portugal, Comporta is still gathering steam. Between the rice fields, cork forests, and long white beaches, there has been a slew of new openings this year, as well as upgrades to existing properties (and some that needed no changes at all) and lots of construction in the works. Here’s what’s worth a look—especially now that the peak summertime crowds have started to head home.

A few years ago, I introduced my children to the classic 1988 comedy "Big" starring Tom Hanks. Now they always keep their eyes out for a Zoltar machine like the one in the film when we visit carnivals or arcades.

One of the best ways to see Norway's jagged coastline is by boat, so I spent two nights traveling up the coast with Hurtigruten last fall. 

From applying and getting hired to working on 12-plus-hour flights, many elements of a flight attendant's and pilot's jobs are elusive.

Recently, my husband and I boarded a world-class Viking cruise, and it departed from Barcelona. Where to stay? And where do I recommend? The Kimpton Vividora. It charmed us from the get-go, and even though it’s small in size, it looms large in stature – and luxury. This property is the first hotel in Spain from Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants and the first luxury hotel in Barcelona from IHG.
