Cities remain a go-to. So do tropical places like the Caribbean and Cancun.

In 2020, travelers avoided urban centers for beach towns and national parks, where it felt like a safer place to go, said Brian Hoyt of TripAdvisor.

But by last fall, Las Vegas, New York City, and Orlando had supplanted places like Key Largo, Key West and Atlantic City, which were the top three destinations for travelers in fall 2020, according to TripAdvisor.

The trend is continuing: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Denver, Orlando and New York are the five most booked destinations in the United States for fall, according to Hopper, a travel booking site. For international travelers, cities like San Juan, Puerto

Would you ride a horse from one continent to another? That’s what Xu Zhixian of China is doing. Zhixian is traveling from Europe to Asia on horseback.

Why horseback?

Zhixian is from Heze, located in the Shandong province, eastern China, and started his horseback journey earlier this year. He’s been posting about his journey on social media for his followers to tune in.

The 32-year-old traveler tells Ziniu News“I told my family I wanted to ride on horseback to China, but they didn’t believe me until I bought a horse and started my journey.”

He began his horseback journey on February 20th in Spain and is currently in the Netherlands. So far, he has traveled over 1,500 miles.

“When someone asked me why, I said there was no reason. I just do it because

The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t over yet — who the hell knows if it ever will be — but its early months have come to feel like a distant, drunken, collective nightmare, when everything we thought we knew about human behavior seemed to get turned on its head. At first glance, the Angelenos in Bernard Rose’s dreamy and marvelous Travel Light, which returns us to the summer of 2020, act like space aliens. They speak through each other even as they judge one another. They alternate between anxiety and frivolity, as if nothing is all that important but somehow everything is significant. They’re all incredibly weird yet embarrassingly familiar.

Rose’s film (which is opening theatrically in New York after a run in Los Angeles and will hopefully be more widely available soon) takes place over the course of

If you’re looking for a weekend trip in the US and a place to enjoy world-class entertainment and dining, swim in fabulous pools, relax in wonderful spas and yes, gamble, if you so choose — a short getaway to Las Vegas might be an option if this is in your budget.

With travel to Vegas, you can catch a direct flight from dozens of US cities and arrive on a Thursday night or Friday — then fly back home on Sunday night or on Monday.

The Las Vegas Strip is, of course, the quintessential mainstay of Vegas.

RESTAURANTS IN DEEP-BLUE CITIES STARVED FOR DINERS, WHILE FLORIDA IS FEASTING

But whether that’s your interest or not, Vegas offers something for everyone.

Las Vegas topped the list of popular cities for travel in July, with the daily number of diners up an average

I could probably list every job I had since college if I was pressed to do so, although I mostly remember them in episodic moments, and not especially well at that. There are by now a couple of impacted decades of memories to go through—whole years of variously grim lunches and emptied-out hungover commutes and different rote tasks carried out in windowless rooms on sunny days—broken up periodically by periods of unemployment in which I wrote exceedingly mannered short stories and watched horror movies in the afternoon. I could tell you about many of those lunches and commutes and tasks, but I couldn’t really say—could never, really, have said—how or why I wound up at one job or another. That wasn’t really how my life went, in work or most anywhere else, for most of that time. I floated along until I snagged on to something, and stayed stuck there

Nothing is guaranteed in this life, not even a restaurant with an 4.9 average rating on DoorDash. But it was that stellar score on an otherwise nondescript jerk-chicken spot that pulled me out of my Brooklyn neighborhood to what is almost the very top of the subway map, 225th Street in the Bronx.

I had a great childhood in Canada. I’m from a small town in Ontario with a really tiny population. There were a lot of lakes, really long winters and a real focus on outdoor living. But as much as I love my hometown, it felt a little closed off from the world.

As soon as I graduated high school I decided to go volunteer in Central America. We hadn’t traveled much while was growing up, so my family were just. I spent months in Costa Rica just being young and free, it felt amazing.

When I came home I didn’t feel ready to go to college. I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, so I moved back home and worked as a waitress in a diner. I planned to save as much money as I could.

The next year I decided to
