Cuenca is my favorite city in Ecuador by far. The city feels very European — gorgeous colonial architecture, beautiful public spaces along the river to walk along, the city is clean, traffic is orderly, and you can even drink the tap water!
This guide includes my tips on:
- Arriving in Cuenca (Transportation)
- Sightseeing & shopping
- Best restaurants (including an affordable tasting menu you absolutely CANT miss!)
- Places to stay
- Daytrips
- Weekend trips
Many North Americans retire in Cuenca for the comfortable quality of life. It’s a great place to recharge your batteries if you need a break from bussing and adventuring.
Don’t forget to pack a jacket and a beanie! Even if the daytime is beautiful with sunny blue skies, temperatures often drop down to the 50s at night.

A guide to walk through some of the most well preserved post towns along the Nakasendo.
The Nakasendo is the former highway that connected Kyoto to Tokyo during the Edo period (1603-1868). At this time the Feudal lords were forced to do a multi-week commute between the two cities. The ruling family forced the lords to spend every other year in Tokyo with their entire household. This was a nightmare of a yearly commute!
The Nakasendo is a 540km route with 69 post towns along the route. Commuting lords and samurai would stop at the post towns to rest and eat during their long journey.
Currently, many of the post towns have been modernized with the introduction of the railway line. A lot of the original paths used by the lords and samurai have been converted into roads.

Sayulita is a long-loved beach town on Mexico’s Pacific coast famously known for its consistent and welcoming surf. The once sleepy town has exploded in popularity over the past 5 years, which means it can skew a little expensive by Mexico standards. Nonetheless, with cheap, direct flights to Puerto Vallarta, it still makes an ideal destination for a lively weekend getaway with your friends, or a laidback, health-focused escape — choose your own adventure! Just don’t forget to explore outside the center of town. This area has a lot to offer.
Thinking about traveling to Sayulita? As a Fora Travel Advisor, when you book your trip with me, you’ll enjoy FREE PERKS as listed under the hotel section. Schedule a free consultation call to learn more — and let’s make your dream trip a reality.

Very Opinionated Guide on Beating the Travel Tipping Point to Luang Prabang (with these expert tips)
This guide includes where to eat and drink, where to stay, what to do, and where to work remotely in Luang Prabang, Laos — a sublime little city on the confluence of the mighty Mekong and Nam Khan rivers. Luang Prabang is a must-visit in your explorations of Southeast Asia. Orange robe-clad monks stroll the streets lined with historic French architecture. Welcome smiles, delicious cuisine, and ancient wats all await you at this UNESCO world heritage destination. With thoughtful new investment from savvy local business owners and French and Swiss expats who were stuck here (and fell in love) during Covid, the town is at a perfect inflection point of old and new. You can sit down to a bowl of soup on the sidewalk, dine at a 5-star hotel, and sip an IPA at a trendy cafe — all within a few blocks of each other. But hurry, Luang Prabang is not too far from the visitor tipping point.

Looking for a relaxing weekend gateway or the perfect hotel for your skiing trip to Switzerland? This is your ultimate guide, no matter the budget you have in mind.
This guide compiles some of the best hotels to either fully disconnect or relax after a day out in nature. From a hot tubs to saunas or massages, these hotels have everything you need to recharge.
Most of them are located in the Alps, meaning within mountain towns rather than in cities. These mountain towns, some of which are more popular than others (i.e. Zermatt or Verbier), are were people come to ski, hike, bike, or just enjoy stunning views. Even locals, aka me, come to theses towns/places year around.
I created four categories (from "on a budget" to "luxury"), depending on your budget.

Scotland - the land of iconic views, food, and a FANTASTIC campervanning destination. We campervanned here for two weeks with this itinerary and had such an amazing experience. This guide covers 14 days and a whole lot of campervanning - get ready for a roadtrip! It covers the following destinations:
- Glencoe
- Isle of Skye
- NC500
- The Cairngorms
- Aberdeen
- Edinburgh
- Glasgow
& MANY destinations and things to do in between these major stops.
For some places it includes restaurants (but not all, as it's a campervanning itinerary so you'll likely be cooking most of your meals), lots of adventure (hikes, views, and activities), where to stay (parking your campervan is SO easy in Scotland we've included where to look for camping spots and also included campervan sites to hook up to for each spot), and inside intel on what you should know before you visit.
This itinerary is for the adventurous and people who want to get BUSY during their time here to see as much as possible. It includes quite a bit of driving and lots of activities. Whilst this itinerary is jam-packed, you can easily choose what you want from each day to give you more downtime, and spread some of the activities over multiple days to cut down on your driving time - it's very easily manipulated to suit your needs.

Colorful and welcoming. Hip yet old world. Infused with the pride of Zapotec culture, yet embracing of modern Mexico’s foodie standards. Oaxaca de Juarez defies easy labels and is all the better for it. With one of the most charming Centros in all of Latin America, Oaxaca is unapologetically itself on every level. Majestic churches, historic buildings, stunning street art, indigenous gardens, massive markets, quirky small museums. . .Oaxaca has them all. Best of all, its undercurrent of edge and counterculture keeps this vibrant town from being too consumed by expat and digital nomad influence. Pretty and vibrant, yes. Blandly beautiful? Never.
