If you tell 10 people you are traveling to Belize, 5 probably won’t know anything about it. 2 will guess it’s in Europe. 1 will engage with you in conversation asking about your trip before asking where it is after about 5 minutes, and 1 will know that it was formerly known as British Honduras. The point being, most people don’t know much about Belize, and quite frankly, neither did we before we decided to travel there. However, after traveling to Belize, it’s a country we highly recommend visiting for a number of reasons, many of which you will find…

Southwest Airlines Companion Pass Review
If you are a traveler, you have probably heard of the Southwest Airlines Companion Pass. Well, we were lucky enough to earn it for a year, and here’s our complete Southwest Airlines Companion Pass review. Southwest Airlines has a great travel credit card, especially if you fly Southwest a lot. About two years ago, we were approved for a Southwest travel credit card and started earning points. The points never disappear (unless you cancel the card) and can easily be redeemed for Southwest flights. If you earn 110,000 points in a year, you qualify for the highly-valued Southwest Airlines Companion…

9 Reasons You Should Visit Cuba Now
1. You Still Can! After President Obama opened up tourism to Cuba without needing a specific visa, tons more Americans started visiting the Caribbean island.

How to Spend a Long Weekend in Nashville
Nashville, Tennessee is known primarily for its country music scene, which gives it the nickname Music City. Whether you are a big country music fan or not, Nashville is still an outstanding place to visit with great food, live music, and nightlife. Where to Stay in Nashville: We stayed at an Airbnb in East Nashville, just a few blocks from 5 Points. It was cheaper than staying in Nashville’s slightly more central neighborhoods: the Gulch, Downtown, or Music Row. However, we didn’t find staying in 5 Points inconvenient at all. In fact, there were a ton of places in East…

24 Hours in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Mostar is a small city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a newer country that’s chock-full of recent history given the Bosnian War in the 1990’s. While it’s not the most popular place to visit, more and more people are traveling to Mostar. It probably helps that it’s a quick bus ride from Dubrovnik, a super popular travel destination. The bus from Dubrovnik to Mostar costs about $20 (115 HRK) and is scheduled to take about 3.5 hours. However, from our experience, expect it to take about an hour longer. If you’re visiting Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, or anywhere in the area,…
