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…

One Day Stopover in Lisbon, Portugal

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

Whether its for a Bachelor/Bachelorette party, birthday, girls trip, or really any occasion, you’re bound to have a great time in Vegas!
