Regardless of what you had planned at the beginning of 2020, it’s pretty likely you’ve traveled far less this year than you originally thought you would.

The One Region of Argentina I Wouldn’t Miss If I Ever Want Back

Argentina is a big place — the second largest country in South America, in fact, and the eighth largest in the world. And that’s why the six weeks I spent there back in 2014 weren’t nearly enough to get a glimpse of all of the country’s 23 provinces — but if I ever went back, there is one province I’d make sure not to miss.

7 Social Norms from Around the Globe That May Seem Strange to Americans

It could easily be argued that the U.S. is near the top of the list when it comes to countries that are so contained within their own bubbles that people tend not to think about the way life is lived in other places. That in mind, here are some social norms from other parts of the world that may sound a little odd to American ears.

How Long Your Vacation Should Last, According to the Experts

Companies aren’t legally required to offer their employees vacation time, but more than 90 percent of all full-time employees working in the private sector receive paid vacation. Why? Because even your stingy boss knows that a burnt-out employee is just about as useful as a poopy-flavored lollipop. It’s a universal truth: everybody needs a break now and then.

How Difficult is it to Travel to Antarctica? And Why Would You Go There, Anyway?

When winter comes around, there’s one question that never fails to pop into my head: why do people enjoy traveling (or living, for that matter) in places where the cold regularly punishes their faces? Plenty of people who live in the Midwest, as I do, deal with the snow and the cold for maybe four to five months out of the year, but why, oh why, would anyone choose to live in a state of perpetual winter?

What It's Like Living with a Host Family While Studying Abroad

Not everyone is afforded the opportunity to become a foreign exchange student, and even when the option exists, studying abroad just does not appeal to some people. But if you're one of those individuals out there thinking about expanding your cranium overseas and you wonder, among other things, what living with a host family might be like, you've come to the right place.

11 Capital Cities That Aren't On Your Radar (& One Reason to Visit Each)

It's with an open mind that I scour the globe, looking for the most far-flung and unique places I could possibly, maybe, someday visit. And in that vein, I offer you a list of world capitals — some you may have heard of; others probably not — for the simple sake of putting them on your radar.
