Four Reasons This is the Year of the Budget Traveler
When I started traveling in 2006, there were no large travel blogs as we know them, sharing economy websites, apps, and few online booking sites for obscure destinations. I remember finding only one website about backpacking Europe and a couple of forums where I could ask questions. Information was there but it wasn’t as easily found or abundant as it is today. If you didn’t talk to the right travel agent, backpacker, hostel owner, or couldn’t find a tip in […]

Upgrade Your Luggage With These 3 Wheeled Duffel Bags/Backpacks
Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook.
I’m a carry-on traveler through and through. I travel enough to never want a surprise (e.g. missing my underwear or travel foosball table) when I arrive in Wherever-stan. But there are times when I need a bit more room — when I just can’t squeeze a 3-piece suit into my carry-on — and checking a […]

Review: SLS Hotel Beverly Hills
We had a roughly 22 hour overnight at LAX, so I put a bit of thought into where to stay. On one hand I figured we'd be tired and want to nap, on the other hand I wanted to be somewhere that was walkable (and as much as I love LA, walking seems to be a near criminal offense there based on how few people walk).
My preferred area in LA is Beverly Hills/West Hollywood, since I find it has the most to do (best restaurants and bars, is at least borderline walkable, etc.).
My usual hotel is the Andaz West Hollywood, though for this stay I decided on the SLS Beverly Hills, for whatever reason.
I actually had a quick stay at the SLS Beverly Hills about a year ago, and wrote a review of that stay.

Rocketmiles: 24 hour double miles offer Rocketmiles is a hotel booking website that rewards you with miles for your reservations.

Nothing At All Suspicious About These Blog Comments…
One of the less awesome parts of the internet is the veil of anonymity that so many people take advantage of by writing things they'd never say in person. We've all been guilty of it at one point or another.
The other side of that is that people think they're being slick when they leave a bunch of comments on an old post with a clear agenda. It's why I don't envy TripAdvisor's job for having to weed out fake reviews. Often when I review hotels in smaller cities where there are only a couple of competitors, something like a year later I'll randomly get five new comments over a week on the review bashing the hotel.
But here's a unique one. Yesterday some "random" comments were left on some posts about the Korean Air nut rage incident, all from the same IP.
