Calling Los Cabos: Richness of Mexico means more than just luxury

LOS CABOS, Mexico — When Adina Lopez moved back to Los Cabos, at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Sur, she didn’t expect to find hidden treasure.

Huatulco’s imprint in the sand: Rescuers ignore the odds to save Oaxaca’s turtles

Growing up as the daughter of missionaries, my childhood travels were usually centered on giving back. From South Africa and Hong Kong to Romania and Tanzania, each purposeful journey involved some level of digging ditches, feeding children, raising awareness and rescuing the lost. By the time I graduated from college, I went rogue, traveling for the sake of my own benefit, longing for ...

A stunning new way to see Niagara Falls

NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, Canada – The grandeur of Niagara Falls keeps tourists seeking new and better views of the natural wonder — and it’s easy to find them. On both the U.S. and Canadian sides of the river, you can gaze from lookouts, boat tours, a bridge, towers with wide windows, helicopter rides and even a zipline.

What it’s really like to take a European night train

Over the past few years, much has been made about the renaissance of the European night train.

Greenland wants you to visit, but not all at once

“The weather decides”: It could almost be the motto of Greenland. Visitors drawn to this North Atlantic island to see its powder blue glaciers, iceberg-clogged fjords and breathtakingly stark landscapes quickly learn to respect the elements, and they’re sometimes rewarded for it.

In New Zealand, sauvignon wishes and sashimi dreams

For my first night in New Zealand’s South Island, I had booked an Airbnb in Hawkesbury, a hamlet in the middle of the country’s most important wine region, Marlborough, famous for the huge quantities of sauvignon blanc it produces. The single-lane dirt road to my lodging snaked past some rusty vehicles in the middle of a working farm, dipped down into a valley, ascended and then circled a steep hill, finally revealing a small, perfect cabin nestled on a gentle slope. The only things visible from my home for the night were rolling hills blanketed in vivid green, backed by rocky mountains towering over them.

Hill, was brought down.

We’ve lost our luggage, and our minds

No flights, no rental cars, no Christmas, but luggage everywhere. Everywhere! Everywhere but where we need it. Luggage lined up in Dallas terminals like dwarf soldiers in a nightmare reveille. Rings of luggage encircling empty carousels in Chicago, in a kind of artistic commentary on capitalism and modern itinerancy. (Medium: thermoplastic polymer on wheels.)
