Stories, Tips and Itineraries for Attainable Travel
Several months ago I ran a poll and asked my readers what they wanted from The Voyageer: more personalized writing, or more general stuff like itineraries and reviews? The result was split 50/50, so in this post I’ll share the decision-making process that I use when planning an elaborate international trip. Maybe it will help

Putting together a post about my hometown has proven to be challenging. Finding a starting point is particularly tricky since I have years of recommendations for my ever-evolving city.

When’s the last time you ran out of vacation days? As you might assume, I regularly use all of mine up. Did you know that an estimated 54% of Americans don’t use up all of their days? Too often, the concept of taking a break goes ignored by workaholics or workplace martyrs. Organized by Project:
When people think of Vegas, they think of gambling, clubbing, and lounging by the pool. What if I told you there was plenty to do in Sin City when the pool is closed and without losing all of your money? I highly recommend visiting Las Vegas in the Winter as a fun way to inject
