How to Visit Cuba as an American (While It’s Still “Illegal”)

Like many of you, I was excited to hear the big news that the U.S. embargo against Cuba is ending. Wow! There’s probably a good life lesson in this news: if your government has tried something for more than 50 years and it hasn’t worked, maybe it’s time to try something else. As part of…

Small Town Travel: 7 Reasons to Visit Medina, New York

Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook.

For me, 2014 was the Year of the Small City. Chattanooga. Raleigh. Buffalo. Last month, we went even smaller. On a trip through western New York, we stopped in the small town (they prefer “village” actually) of Medina. It’s not the stereotypical “one stop light” town, but it’s close. For me, that makes it all […]

Qantas First Class Lounge LAX Now Open

The new Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX is arguably the most gorgeous airport terminal in the United States. It also features some of the nicest shared lounges, like the Star Alliance First & Business Class Lounge.

The business class section of the Qantas/oneworld lounge opened within the past six months. It's a lovely business class lounge, though as a first class passenger it not exactly exciting.

As a oneworld Emerald I've been waiting for the first class lounge to open.

The Qantas First Class Lounge LAX officially opens today, Thursday, December 18, 2014.

"If Elizabeth Gallagher wants to travel around the world with some guy she barely knows, instead of with her boyfriend, just let her. Because assuming she’s going to cheat, or be cheated on, makes you sound like an asshole."

Newly Single Guy Finds New Elizabeth Gallagher To Take On Trip

In early November Travis wrote about the crazy story of Jordan Axani, a Canadian guy who booked a round the world trip with his girlfriend, only to break up with her. He went on a search to find a replacement travel companion that had the same name as his ex, since the name of airline tickets can't be changed.

It's not surprising the story went viral, given just how crazy it was. You really want to travel with a complete stranger on a month-long round the world trip? Yow!

The craziest part? He actually found someone with the same name to go with him!
