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.

Foraging: Where Cervantes Once Lived in Madrid, Eclectic Boutiques Abound

In recent years, manageable rents in this artsy residential enclave, a short walk from the heart of the city, have encouraged locals to open equally artsy and eclectic shops.
