Why You’ll Love Tokyo
A simply wonderful city, full of intrigue and mystery, Tokyo has something for everyone.

Tokyo is one of the cities that everyone should experience at least once in their lives. A simply wonderful city, full of intrigue and mystery, this Japanese metropolis has something for everyone. Spring is around the corner and it is the best time to find affordable flights to the Asian city, so book your trip and experience the majesty of Tokyo.
Here are my reasons why I think you will just love Tokyo.
Cheap Flights
Finding cheap international flights can be tricky, but this Japanese city usually has some very affordable deals. It is especially cheap if you live close to either New York of Los Angeles, which always have cheap flights to Tokyo. It should be easy to find flights for under $600 USD with some advance purchases and that will hardly get you to Europe now.
Cheap Hotel Deals
Tokyo is a major metropolitan city and a business center for millions, so the hotel options are plentiful. Since there is so much to be seen in this vast city, a traveler only needs a basic, small hotel room. Saving money on accommodations opens up so many more activities and fine dining options.
The Yen is struggling as of late, so our American dollar stretches a little further than it used to. You can easily find great hotel rooms for less that $150 a night, which is almost imposable in cities like New York or Los Angeles.
Interesting culture
Tokyo is such an amazing and unique culture that it has something for everyone and more than most cities. This major metropolitan city has so much more to offer than New York, just in size alone. If New York has Times Square, Tokyo has five similar attractions, that’s crazy. Prepare for sensory overload as Tokyo will seriously blow your mind, you have to experience it to believe it.
Coolest trains in world
The train system in Japan is second to none and the technology is pretty inspiring. Enjoy an immaculately clean subway system that runs efficiently and effectively, moving millions of people a day. Seeing that many people move in unison is a sight to remember.
Amazing food
The food in Tokyo is better than anywhere in the world, with more Michelin stars than Paris and London combined. Japanese food isn’t the only cuisine on display as Tokyo truly is an international city. Japanese people are excellent at details and this municipality takes tips from all other metropolitan cities and improves on them.
Don’t need to speak Japanese
Don’t speak Japanese, do not fear, English is widely spoken and understood. As long as you know a few staples like Please (kudasai) and thank you (arigato), you can get by and never feel lost or unable to communicate. Try that in another foreign city and you may be in big trouble.
Safe safe safe
Tokyo is easily one of the safest large cities in the world. Feel safe to walk around at any hour of the night and not run into any danger. The people of Tokyo are also very helpful and kind, can’t say that about most New Yorkers, can you.
Travel to Tokyo soon and have the best vacation ever, I guarantee it.

The European hotspots are consistently busy and typically not very affordable, so let’s skip Barcelona, Marseille and the other trendy destinations. If you want to save big on your summer holiday(s), try visiting one of these cheaper destinations for all the bang with half the buck.
Malta
Sure Malta isn’t as cheap as you may wish, but it’s still much more affordable than hotspots like Lisbon or Sorrento. Head to Sliema for a hip beach town filled with designer shops and trendy cafes that won’t totally break your budget. The nightlife is wild and fun and the beaches are gorgeous.
Portugal
Obviously, major beach cities like Lisbon will break your budget wide open, but Portugal has plenty of affordable alternatives. Try Algarve, just down the road from popular Lisbon but nearly half the cost. Enjoy over 300 sunny days a year, warm waters and some of the best surf on the Atlantic coast. This small beach region is a gem and should be visited even if only for a few days.
Cyprus
The ancient Mediterranean beach city of Paphos in Cyprus is the perfect beach destination. Enjoy ancient ruins of the Greco-Roman empires while basking in the warm sun. The city comes alive in the warm summer months and visitors will enjoy the variety of restaurants, castles, and monasteries the old town region has to offer.
Greece
Greece is the Mecca of Mediterranean beaches and many are extremely expensive, so let’s find an affordable one. Try Cephalonia, a small island that rivals Crete for cheapness. Get the most out of your European beach vacation at this Greek island and have the best trip possible.
Bulgaria
OK, hear me out; maybe try a beach destination that isn’t on the ocean. Head to the resort town of Sunny Beach, Bulgaria and save huge on your summer vacation. The Black Sea isn’t salty and has very mild waves; so expect a lake type of vibe with a party atmosphere. The nightlife here gets rowdy and the bars along the beach stay open late.
Croatia
No longer a well-kept secret, Croatia is now a hotspot for vacationing Europeans. Instead of hitting the hot islands or capital city, try Porec for your budget summer vacation in style. The city is a throwback with rustic architecture and an old town that features cobblestone streets. The water and beaches are great and the weather couldn’t be better.
Italy
Everyone wants to visit the Amalfi Coast in Italy, but few of us can afford such a luxurious trip. Instead try to visit the Puglia region, which is much less crowded and offers some really great deals. Check out the resort town of Otranto, which features huge rock pools and rustic beaches. The stone buildings will bring you back in time and the cheap prices will bring you back.

Traveling is a pleasure, but getting sick on your trip can be a bummer. You work so hard to take time off from your job and you spent so much money on this life-changing vacation… so the last thing you want is to spend your trip lying in a hotel bed, sleeping in a wastebasket. You want to explore, which means you need to stay healthy and virus-free.
Most people don’t know that there are several things you can do that can cut down on the chances of getting sick when you’re on vacation. Our team of health experts decided to pass along four easy tips that are sure to keep you having fun by not getting sick the next time you travel.
DRINK BOTTLED WATER
Always drinking bottled water will ensure that your water is never full of harmful bacteria and will help you avoid the nasty effects that drinking contaminated water can have on your body. If a bottle of water is opened before you sit down at a restaurant then don’t drink it because there is a good chance that they just filled it up at the tap, kindly ask for a new bottle for your meal even if it costs a little bit more money it is always worth it.
Staying healthy is worth the extra bit of money every time, because if you catch something like Montezuma’s revenge then there is no amount of money you wouldn’t pay to get rid of that awful sickness.
PURIFY YOUR WATER
If you think you might have trouble finding bottled water on your trip then be sure to pack iodine pills beforehand. All you have to do is throw a pill into the water you want to drink and then voila it is good to go. There are also a lot of great options for water purifiers that are great options for on the go.
Check the internet and find a convenient option that works best for you and use it to make sure you are drinking clean water. If you haven’t figured it out by now, clean water is very important to stay healthy.
DON’T EAT SALAD
You don’t win friends with salad when you’re traveling. Raw vegetables are usually washed with tap water which can make you very sick. You can be drinking all the clean water in the world, but once you eat some raw vegetables that have been rinsed in contaminated water then you can kiss all your hard work goodbye. Always eat cooked vegetables to avoid getting that contaminated water in your mouth.
BRING AN ANTIBIOTIC
Your doctor will gladly write you a prescription for an antibiotic for you to use when you get sick. Pick up some prescription antibiotics before you head out on your trip just in case you do get caught with one of these awful illnesses so that you can take the appropriate actions to help recover and get back to enjoying your awesome trip.

Sin City is consistently in the top five most-visited cities in America every year – 2019 is no different. But, as much as Vegas is all about forgetting the rules and letting loose, don’t be negligent. There are still some basic concepts you should not partake in while enjoying Vegas.
DON’T SKIP SUNSCREEN
A huge aspect of having a great time in Las Vegas is simply hanging out by the pool. Virtually every hotel pool has a swim-up bar these days. But let’s not forget, Las Vegas is literally in the desert. The heat can be straight-up brutal in the summer. So don’t make the mistake of not applying sunscreen! Have the time of your life in Vegas isn’t worth getting skin cancer.
DON’T TRY TO USE A FAKE ID
Vegas may seem like the kind of place where rules go out the window, but one rule that is still very much in effect… Vegas is still very much “21 & older.” Various law enforcement agencies such as the Gaming Commission are looking for any reason to bust a hotel or casino breaking the rules. If you’re under 21, you can still enjoy the city, but don’t bother trying to sneak into clubs with that fake ID your brother crafted.
DON’T FORGET TO TIP
As you can imagine, Vegas is overflowing with working people of the hospitality game. Bartenders, waiters, bellhops, valet drivers… the list goes on and on. These people work very hard to provide a proper Vegas experience, so they’re the last people you want to offend by not giving a good tip. Honestly, we shouldn’t even have to tell you this one. Tip your staff!
DON’T PAY FOR SEX
A lot of people probably assume prostitution is legal in a place like Las Vegas. Well, news flash, it isn’t! Regardless of how much you may get bombarded with escort cards while walking down the strip, prostitution is still very much illegal in Las Vegas. So don’t take the risk just because you’re letting your hair down. If you were to get caught, you could face some serious fines and possibly even jail time. Don’t risk it!
DON’T RELY ON ATMs
While most places will, of course, take credit cards, cash still comes in very hand in Las Vegas. But do your best to bring plenty of cash with you or find your bank’s local branch in the city because the ATM fees are just plain ridiculous. You could pay anywhere for $5 to $10!
DON’T HAIL CABS FROM THE STREET
No matter how much you flail your arms or scream at passing cab drivers, they will not pull over. Probably because it’s actually illegal! There are number pick up and drop off areas all over the city, and taxi cab passengers must be picked up and dropped off at these locations. Similarly, Uber and Lyft will have a drop-off and pick up zone as well. If you’re not sure how it all works, the concierge at your hotel will be more than happy to call one for you.
