2 Days in Milan: The Perfect Itinerary for First-Time Visitors
Milan is the second largest city in Italy after Rome and the capital of Lombardy. Most people know it as a fashion capital, but there’s a lot more going on here than high-end shopping. The city has spectacular art, including one of the most famous paintings in the world, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper. It […]
The Best Water Filters for Travel + Everything You Need to Know
If you are planning a trip or outdoor adventure to a destination where the local water might not be safe for drinking, you might be considering packing a water filter. This might be a backcountry camping trip, a hiking trip, or a trip overseas where you aren’t sure if the tap water is safe to […]
Vatican Key Masters Tour Review: Is It Worth It? (2026)
Quick verdict: Yes, the Vatican Key Masters Tour is worth it, with one big caveat.

2 Days in Barcelona: The Complete Itinerary (With What to Book in Advance)
We’ve visited Barcelona somewhere between five and eight times over the past decade or so (I’ve genuinely lost count), and it’s one of those cities that keeps pulling us back. There’s always something new to photograph, a side street in the Gothic Quarter we haven’t wandered down, or a Gaudi building we want to see […]
AeroPress Review: The Best AeroPress for Travel in 2026
We love to travel, and we love good coffee. Those two things often go together, but not always. You might be staying somewhere that only offers instant, out camping or hiking miles from the nearest café, or in a city where a flat white costs more than you’d like to pay twice a day. I’ve […]
