Residents of a Paris street are getting tired of all of the tourists visiting their block and are asking the city for help.
If the residents have their way, the street, Rue Crémieux will be closed to tourists. Continue reading Locals Want This Street In Paris Closed To Tourists
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a castle to call your own? If this sounds like it might interest you, head to Italy. They are giving away 300 castles and historic homes.
As they say, nothing in life is free, so there’s got to be a catch… Continue reading Historic Castles and Homes Being Given Away in Italy
How would you like to take a ride on a driverless bus? (Sounds a bit futuristic, possibly dangerous if you ask me…)
If you answered yes you could now do so in Switzerland as part of a pilot project being tested in the city of Sion. Continue reading Take A Ride On A Driverless Bus In Switzerland
Super Bowl 50 is fast approaching and will take place on February 7, 2016 in San Francisco, California.
Although it says that the game takes place in San Francisco, the stadium is actually located in Santa Clara around an hour away! (Levi’s Stadium is the home of the San Francisco 49ers.)
Last year I wrote about some pricey Super Bowl rentals available to rent through Airbnb. One guy even rented out his Tesla to sleep in! Continue reading A Super Bowl 50 Airbnb Rental for $8500 Per Night!
I find Kickstarter and other crowd-funding sites to be really interesting and a great way for innovators and creators to bring their ideas to market. However, I can’t say that I’ve backed a campaign.
A new carry-on just became the most funded luggage ever on Kickstarter, blowing away its intended funding goal. Continue reading The Most Funded Luggage Ever on Kickstarter
So this is what you could rent for $1,100 in New York City these days…

Airbnb has given us tons of new options for accommodations that never existed before.
Kim, Lucas and I have used Airbnb a bunch of times and have really seen the value that it can provide. (Check out a review of our first time using the service here.) When staying at places through Airbnb you get to connect with locals in an interesting way which can provide you with lots of advice and info about the area you are visiting.
Airbnb also offers lots of unique options including pubs, and even celebrity’s homes. Continue reading Most Ridiculous Airbnb Rental Ever?
This has got to be one of the more interesting and amazing hotels that I’ve come across in a while and one that I’d love to stay at if it was in my budget…
How would you like to spend a night in a converted 1800’s fort over one mile out to sea?
If this sounds like an interesting idea, you might think twice when you hear about the price it costs to stay at this converted fort in England from Amazing Venues. Continue reading Amazing! Sea Fort Becomes Lux Hotel
Earlier in the year I wrote about a couple of options to become the owner of your own town! Sounds pretty cool and what’s more impressive than saying you own a town…
There was a European town available at the bargain basement price of $0 although it would certainly cost a small fortune to bring it back to live-in condition. If you are more interested in staying close to home, a town in the U.S. was going for a cool $1.5 million. This one came with a general store along with some other buildings in better shape than the one in Europe. Continue reading $800K To Spare? Buy Your Own Town
