Satisfy Your Wanderlust by Streaming One of These Excellent Travel Shows

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.

6 Travel Novels I Would Recommend (& One That's Better Left on the Shelf)

Sometimes, for whatever reason — be it financials, career, or, ahem, a global pandemic — we find ourselves unable to venture off to the various destinations, near or far, inhabiting our travel bucket lists. In these times there is little we can do other than dream of the myriad places we wish to experience firsthand, and things can get depressing.

The NY Times' 52 Places to Go in 2020: Reactions, Highlights & Other Tidbits

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.

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.

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?
