Escaping to the beautiful beachfront city of Barcelona? This stunning Catalan city is steeped in culture, history, and beautiful, almost otherworldly architecture thanks to Gaudi’s influence.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo (which is not Mexican Independence Day, that’s in September!), we decided to highlight five cities you need to visit in Mexico. It was hard limiting ourselves to five as there are tons of amazing cities waiting to be explored in Mexico, but when I choose a theme, I stick

Ah, Paris! The City of Lights, love, impeccable fashion, gourmet food, picturesque streets, and towering iconic structures. There’s no city quite like Paris. While there’s so much to see and so many things to do in Paris, it can be overwhelming to try and tackle it all in one trip. You can definitely plan an
