Why I’m Choosing 5 Stars Over a Tent (And No, I’m Not Sorry)

The ethical rethinking of travel
I am a follower of all things Travel and Adventure, my eyes light up at the discovery of a new flight route to Armenia, A camel trek in the Western Sahara or a Windsurfing trip in Naxos. The thought of the unknown is what drives my spirit of adventure, I leave scribbles and notes in diaries about trips and ideas far into the future, even if they are not viable or I never embark on them, but each idea is what inspires and motivates me to keep taking steps to find what is over the horizon.

Exploring the Atlas Mountains With Kids By Morocco Family Vacation
Exploring the Atlas Mountains With Kids: A Family Experience From a Mom’s Perspective When we first added the Atlas Mountains to our Morocco itinerary, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect. Mountains and kids don’t always sound like the easiest combination. As a mom, I immediately started thinking about long drives, tired legs, and whether my children would actually enjoy it or just ask, “Are we done yet?” every ten minutes.

3 Short Escapes from Rome in Under 1 Hour
Rome builds intensity quickly. By the end of your second day — after moving through the Colosseum, Vatican and historic center — the experience starts to compress. Streets narrow, crowds thicken and even the most impressive places begin to blur into one continuous flow.

American Motels vs. Hotels
If you ask most Americans today what the difference is between a motel and a hotel, you’ll likely get a shrug. “They’re the same thing, right? One is just cheaper?” No, not quite.
