More than 10 million people visit China’s Great Wall every year. In April 2014, John Morris was one of them, though he went about it a little differently from fellow tourists: He took in the striking sight of the massive and complicated architectural work sitting in his 400-pound wheelchair. Morris is a 28-year-old triple amputee and wheelchair user, who, with one passport, one arm and no legs, has traveled to 29 countries and territories since a life-changing car accident in 2012.

In 2016, the threat to get the hell out felt more sincere than years prior; Snoop Dogg and Barbra Streisand, for example, were among the legion that said they’d leave if Trump were elected. And yet, few people followed through. According to statistics released by Canada’s immigration office, there was just a minuscule increase in applications for Canadian citizenship post-election.

“They don’t market this country well,” a staff member at the Sandals resort in Grenada said as we walked the shoreline of Grand Anse Beach, one of the most paradisiacal places I’ve ever set foot on. She might have a point, since every person whom I told I was going to Grenada assumed I meant Granada, the city in southern Spain. Those who do know the Caribbean country that is Grenada often know it as the host of one pretty impressive underwater sculpture park. As far as tourist attractions go, t

I hadn't planned to make my first visit to Paris a comprehensive croissant research trip, it just happened. The catalyst was a croissant from Boulangerie Chevalier, a bakery in St. Germain that I stopped into immediately after checking in at my hotel in the sixth arrondissement — really just because the windows looked charming.

"It's a lot of work, but they sort of make a party out of it."

“Let me tell you something — the best pho is not in Vietnam, it’s in Houston."

For some, sleeping on planes is second nature, where their eyes shut as soon as the cabin doors do. For others, in-flight sleep is an elusive, awe-inspiring skill that simply can’t be mastered. In reality, the ability to snooze on planes takes practice; categorizing yourself as someone who can’t fall asleep on planes will only make it more difficult to snooze.

It’s now somewhat standard for a hotel to give guests the option to reuse towels and sheets in an effort to be more green by saving wash water. But beyond running a bit less laundry, what is the hospitality industry — one of world’s biggest users of resources — doing to help the planet? At Sandals Grenada, guests with scuba certifications are encouraged to hunt fish — lionfish, specifically — on their holiday. The species is the cane toad of the Caribbean, invasive and multiplying at lightning

Deciding where to eat can be a daunting task. In our BLD (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) series, we handpick three must-visit restaurants in one city. Consider this your guide to the perfect day of eating. Portland’s food scene is reason enough to plan a visit to the salty New England coastal city. This side of town is best known for its killer seafood, but beyond the lobster roll, there’s tons you’ll want to taste. Think sweet potato donuts, fries cooked in duck fat and cherry-aged beer. It’s t

“The perfect bachelorette party” means something different to every bride-to-be. Some crave a relaxing, poolside hang with just a few of their closest friends. Others want one final, big blowout bash. Here are five cities that could give a bride the send-off of her dreams.

Camping is a classic American past time, but one that hasn’t evolved much. “Campgrounds are legacy industries that haven’t changed since the Civil War,” Michael D’Agastino, founder of camping company Tentrr, said in an interview, calling the basic infrastructure of camping “broken.”

Whether you’re a bird nerd or a crazy cat person, there’s a destination with a high concentration of your favorite animal beckoning you to visit. Maybe your newest bucket list addition will be the Instagram-perfect island in Aruba teeming with friendly flamingos making you mourn the passing of Millennial Pink.

The older we get, the more precious time spent with our favorite people becomes. This is reason enough to champion a girls’ trip — a special sojourn away from the routine of daily life to just have fun with the humans who make you laugh that ugly laugh only a small portion of people who know you have seen.
