Where is Everybody Going?
Where are travelers headed this year? Well if you believe Kayak.com, a company that should know, travelers from the Americas are spreading their wings this year and are headed to places they don't normally go: Bariloche and Ushuaia (Argentina), Tokyo, Madrid, Tunis, and Medellin are on the top-10 trending list, all up more than 300% over last year. The Europeans are mostly headed to Spanish islands and Greece, though their trending destinations include Panama City, Victoria (Canada), Pristina (Kosovo), and Bol (Croatia). See the full report here.
Live Near a Beach in Europe
There's plenty to quibble about in this Travel + Leisure round-up of the best European beach cities to live in, but if you just take it as a list of potential destinations to dream about trying out for a while as a base while working, it's worth skimming through to see the options.
Get Those Eclipse Glasses
I’m headed off to Mazatlan in Mexico to catch the total eclipse of the sun hitting on the morning of April 8. It’s going to cut across a long path in the USA too, from Texas to Maine. As your mama told you though, staring at the sun can make you go blind. Pick up some eclipse glasses and don’t go for the cheapest ones: legit versions should be 40 times darker than sunglasses and carry an ISO compliance label on their packaging. (ISO 12312-2). We’ve narrowed it down for you on Amazon here.
