Sometimes, you find an amazing flight for a very cheap price, however there’s something off about it. This happened when I was heading to Borneo last year. After realizing that we had a 10 hour layover at the Dubai International Airport while flying Emirates economy, I ended up looking into nights tours in Dubai as it…
This is a guest post by a fellow animal lover, Maggie. I wouldn’t consider leaving for a week or longer without my dog. He is my companion and I am part of his pack. It takes preparation, planning and research to take along a beloved family member. If you are traveling abroad with your dog,…

As someone who is American and has never had a driver’s license, I am uniquely qualified to write about traveling in the United States without a car.
