A couple of weeks before the Super Bowl I wrote about an Airbnb rental going for $8,500 per night. I also shared the big impact Airbnb was having on the big game.
Super Bowl 50 had a star-studded halftime show featuring Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars.
Would anyone imagine one of these stars staying at an Airbnb property after the game? Continue reading Beyonce Stays in $10,000 Airbnb After Super Bowl
Wouldn’t it be nice to rent out a celebrity’s home?
Last summer I wrote about a list of celebrity homes that are available to rent. Some of them are even available to book through Airbnb. While Leonardo DiCaprio might not live on a private island that he bought in 2005, he is turning it into an eco-resort.
The most famous home owned by a celebrity which is available to rent has got to beĀ Richard Branson’s Necker Island. It sure would be nice to spend some time there but that wont be happening any time soon… Continue reading Rent Ted Turner’s Home for $6,000 Per Night
I can’t say that I’ve really thought much about this topic before…
While visiting cities around America I generally find most places to be friendly. When it comes to friendly places to visit around the world, I’d have to place cities/ countries in Asia at the top of my list. (That would definitely include Myanmar, our most recent destination.) Continue reading America’s Friendliest Cities
Airline amenity kits come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes & designs and are made by many different companies. The contents inside also vary from kit to kit.
I’ve received kits which were really bad, being not much more than a paper envelope with a few items inside (the worst amenity kit ever?) and have also received some great kits like the awesome and collectible Oktoberfest inspired kit from Lufthansa.
These are just a couple of examples of amenity kits given out by airlines- typically to premium cabin passengers. Continue reading Most Awesome Airline Amenity Kits
Here is a somewhat odd list/ slideshow from Travel + Leisure.
In T+L’s annual America’s Favorite Places survey I’d expect to read about places ranked for culture, sightseeing, museums, food, hotels, beaches and other things along those lines. However, T+L also asked survey participants to also rank cities based on most and least attractive people! Continue reading America’s Most (& Least) Attractive People
While traveling both at home and abroad I’ve always been drawn to sites and museums which have a bit of a creepy and dark feel to them.
These sites usually include bones or medical oddities. They might even be a bit taboo but can often draw a crowd. Continue reading World’s Creepiest Attractions
Airbnb has opened up a ton of possibilities to us when it comes to places to stay while traveling. Sometimes traditional hotels can be way too pricey, not that exciting or budget options just seem plain bad.
With Airbnb, we’ve found some great places to stay at a very fair price. Check out my post about Our Awesome Experience during our first stay using Airbnb in Singapore. Continue reading Forget Airbnb, Celebrity Homes You Can Rent
If you happen to be afraid of heights then this post is probably not for you!
When visiting a new place, Kim and I love when we can take a cable car (aerial tram) up to a site. It can be very interesting seeing a place from way up high and can make for a totally different perspective. (It can also sure beat walking!) Continue reading World’s Coolest Tram Rides
Travel + Leisure is looking for help in choosing America’s best spots for food and culture.
They are looking for participants to take their America’s Favorite Places survey for 2014. Those willing to take part will be entered for a chance to win a $25,000 Island Getaway!
T+L tweeted: Continue reading What Are America’s Favorite Spots For Food & Culture + Win $25,000 Trip
When it comes to airline snacks, a couple of thoughts come to mind: Will there even be a snack served ? If so, will it be the usual small bag of pretzels or peanuts?
Southwest offers small bags of pretzels or if you’re lucky you might get some plane cookies. I’ve only had the cookies (very similar to Teddy Grahams) on a couple of flights.
When flying Air Berlin we got an interesting treat at the end of the flight. The flight attendants gave out really tasty chocolate hearts while leaving the plane.
The best bet is to come prepared with your own stash of snacks just in case the selection on board isn’t so great. Kim and I try to bring along some snack for ourself and Lucas during each trip. It’s definitely best not to be caught unprepared (especially when traveling with a little one).
