For most of the year we help people find destinations with “great weather” and that usually means that it's warmer there than where you live. But more of us are living in places with scorching summers that never seem to end, and the list below is for those of us looking for a place to cool off rather than warm up.
We've got recommendations for places around the world, going from west to east starting in Alaska, so there should be a few for you no matter where you are starting from. The destinations below also range from quite cheap to extremely expensive, so hopefully each of us can find something suitable for our budget and travel style. Click to read more
Finding out that your family is about to get a little bigger with the addition of a child can be exhilarating and exciting. It can also be nerve racking, or sometimes all of these feelings mixed into one. One great way to prepare for your baby's arrival is, interestingly enough, to take a vacation. This may sound like nonsense because, after all, shouldn't you be solely focusing on dressing up the nursery, buying all the necessities and clothes, researching what to do (and what not to) when your baby is finally here, and making sure your finances are good to go?
In many ways November is the best month to visit Asia because most of the top destinations such as Bangkok and Hong Kong have excellent weather, but the big crowds don't start coming until just before Christmas. You can see on the list below that you have many excellent choices of destinations this month, and hotel prices are close to their yearly lows in many of them. In some cases it's better to visit in the second half of November because the beginning of the month can still be a bit rainy.
No one will be surprised to learn that Europe is getting fairly chilly in November, but there is still plenty to see and do. There is actually one place where you can still work on your tan, but most people will be better off focusing on the larger and most famous cities, and especially those in the southern countries.
If you have a flexible schedule, or if you just happen to have some time off in November, you are in luck. This is honestly the best month of the year for finding cheap destinations that also have fantastic weather. Since most people don't start their winter travel until mid or late December, it means crowds are small and hotel prices are low through huge sections of the travel world. Those wondering where to go on holiday in November have many great choices at bargain prices, although airfare may cost a bit.
The charming Florida Keys are known for many, and vastly different, reasons. With a Caribbean climate, sweeping islands, beautiful resorts, a plethora of nightlife, restaurants, and bar options, ocean activities everywhere, and sunsets that could draw envy from the Northern Lights, the keys beckon 
There are many trends in travel, let alone life in general. Some travel trends come and go rather quickly, like different types of suitcases or destination festivals. Other travel trends, like different places to visit, seem to last a bit longer, and sometimes even come out of the trend ‘phase' and become successful hotspots that attract visitors for years and years. One travel trend that seems to be doing really well and doesn't look like it'll fade out anytime soon is glamping. As you can imagine, the term glamping refers to camping, but with a luxury twist. This form of accommodation has made our list of the best 
The big travel news in the middle of 2019 is that at least 10 Americans have died while on vacations in the Dominican Republic so far this year. Many of them appear to be natural deaths, while at least a few were people who had drinks from their in-room liquor dispeners shortly before passing. This has led to some media hysteria and some people are considering going elsewhere for a holiday until more answers are clear.
Most of the most popular Asia destinations have their rainy season in summer, so October is an ideal month when things are starting to dry up and cool off a bit. In fact, October might be the best month of the year in many of the destinations below because this is still the low season for tourism, even though the weather is quite nice.
October is one of the best months of the year to visit the cultural capitals in Europe, and there are still a few beach destinations that are warm enough in the first half of the month. This is the first month since March when you will start getting some really good hotel rates, even in the most famous cities.
