India is home to approximately one out of every six people on Earth and more than 50,000 years of human history. To put it bluntly, there is a lot to see and do there. After a year and a half, the country is open to fully vaccinated visitors, starting Oct. 15 with charter flights and […]
Patagonia might not have been inhabited by giants, as Spanish explorers initially thought, but the landscape sure could give giants a good home. All around, mountain peaks tower above visitors to this wild adventure capital at the end of the inhabited world. Wide valleys and lakes carved out by glaciers spread out below the mountains, […]
In a typical year (remember those?) January is the busiest month for travel planning. Families get together over the holidays, talk about where they want to go and begin firming up plans for the next year. But if you’re waiting until January to start planning your 2022 spring break or summer vacation, you might very […]
Beginning in November, the U.S. will allow vaccinated travelers from 33 countries, including China, Brazil, South Africa, India and the 26 nations in Europe’s Schengen zone, in the country for leisure travel.

That first leaf is slowly but surely changing its color and making its way toward the ground. Not far behind will be many more of its friends, and just behind them will be the snowflakes.

There’s nothing like that feeling of stepping off the plane, off the train, out of the car. You take a second to breathe in your surroundings. You’re in a new place.

We’re of the opinion that any vacation is a good vacation, whether it’s in your own backyard or to the ends of the earth. It’s been such a joy to see travel return this year after a 2020 spent largely at home. With the travel industry basically rebooting, there have been fits and starts this […]
With daily life full of much more chaos than you’re used to, the last thing you want is a stressful vacation. That’s your time to relax, take things slow and enjoy yourself. But travel is more complicated than ever too. You can’t just grab your passport and hop on a plane like you used to. […]
We got to reunite with friends from all over the world, and make new ones. That’s what travel is all about, and that’s what Virtuoso Travel Week is all about too. A few of us even got to do it in person, which was a welcome change from last year. The 2021 edition of Virtuoso […]

There are so many opportunities to visit countries we’ve always dreamed of seeing, and in some cases to avoid the crowds that are usually flocking to must-see spots.
