How to Spend One Day in Casablanca, Morocco
Casablanca, Morocco is a great city to spend one day exploring. It is Morocco’s largest city, is also home to the busiest airport in the country. If you’re like me and search for the cheapest flights possible, it is likely that you will land in Casablanca. The city tends to be more of a transit city, and I wouldn’t suggest spending more than a day in the city before jumping on a train to Marrakech or Tangier. It is definitely doable to explore the city highlights in a day, reaching the beautiful Hassan II Mosque on the water, visiting local markets, and trying out some local cuisine. As you search…

Japan was always a place that I wanted to experience, and I just so happened to splurge on a last minute ticket for a week-long getaway in Japan!

One Day Stopover in Lisbon, Portugal
The city of Lisbon is great to explore during a one-day stopover. If you’re looking for cheap flights from North America to Europe, it’s likely that Tap Air Portugal will be one of your top choices. I like Tap Air a lot because they typically have stopovers in Portugal, with enough time to head into the city and explore for a while. This may set some people off from booking their flights though, as most layovers can be from 6 hours to 30 hours. To me, this sounds like an exciting opportunity to explore a bit of Portugal without having to plan a full trip there! My first time in…

Visiting Vegas on a Budget
The majority of people talk about visiting Vegas at least once in their lives – and they definitely should! It’s surprising to some that visiting Vegas on a budget is possible. Whether its for a Bachelor/Bachelorette party, birthday, girls trip, or really any occasion, you’re bound to have a great time in Vegas! I’ve visited Vegas about 8-10 times personally and I’ve always found something new to do each time, along with discovering things I like and do not like doing. When I travel to Vegas, I typically stay at mid-tier hotels. I tend to have one night where I have a fancy meal with probably way over-priced drinks, while…
