You could get sick while traveling. The people you’re traveling with may get sick too. I traveled a lot while I was in Italy. One of the trips I was most looking forward to was Croatia and I was lucky enough to go on our tour twice. The first time the weather wasn’t great, but it was still gorgeous. The second time, the weather seemed more promising… FlorenceforFun travels to all of its destinations by bus, so the ride from Florence…
I feel like even before I officially decided to head over to Thailand everyone was asking me the same question: “are you going to ride an elephant?” I immediately said, “obviously,” but this was before I actually did any research about the subject. Elephant riding in Thailand is super common, but unfortunately there are many places that don’t treat the animals fairly. They drug them, make them walk around with way too much weight on their backs and they are just generally often…
I arrived in Chiang Mai last week after hours and hours of traveling. And I won’t lie, the amount of time spent on an airplane was aggressive (27 hours traveling, about 24 in the air!), but it was totally worth it.

We spent the weekend in Munich doing as the Germans do, during the three week long Oktoberfest. My trip to Munich was the first trip I planned for my time abroad. I booked it almost as soon as I knew that I would be studying in Paris. I spent a…
I love to share my travels with each and every one of you. I have a lot of fun reminiscing about the things that I’ve been able to do. And while most of it is good, sometimes things go wrong or I get homesick or frustrated. I can’t always speak to people about it because the first thing they say to me is “You’re traveling the world! What do you have to be frustrated about?” With that being said, I…
I’m usually all about the budget hotel or finding a great deal, but sometimes, you’ve just got to live. After scouring the usual sites like hotels.com and Expedia, we decided that staying on site at Universal Studios would be the easiest thing to do. We decided on the Cabana Bay Beach Resort because it was still relatively affordable while providing the amenities you’d get at one of the other Loews Universal hotels. Think retro meets family fun. The resort features two pools and a…
