Hi there! It’s Carly from 52 Cities, and I’m so excited to be guest posting on Live Like it’s the Weekend today to bring you this beginner’s guide to travel hacking and flying for…

It’s a little embarrassing to admit this, but I’ve been single for pretty much the entirety of my 20s and 30s. Yes, I’ve dated people here and there, but never to a point so…

You might be wondering right now, why am I talking about keeping on track with your health goals — isn’t this a travel blog? Yes, it’s still a travel blog. But as I’ve mentioned…

  I guess I’ve been keeping Charlottesville a bit of a secret. Not intentionally, of course, but you know how sometimes when you’re so close to a thing it’s hard to get perspective and…

I remember being in this same exact place last year, sitting down to write my 2018 recap post, reflecting on another year gone by and looking ahead to a fresh new start. Many of…

Let me start this post by saying I am usually TERRIBLE at packing carry-on only, let alone trying to pack carry-on only in winter! As a travel blogger, I like to look cute when…

Of all the places I’ve traveled in my lifetime, Byron Bay is one that feels like it could be home. It’s tranquil and beachy, buzzing with creative energy, and don’t even get me started…

After my experience spending one day in Tallinn, Estonia thanks to a day cruise from Helsinki on the Tallink Silja, I instantly regretted having so little time. Tallinn is definitely a destination I want…

Whether you’re planning a trip to Ljubljana, Slovenia or are just trying to get inspiration for your next adventure, let these photos allow your imagination to run wild. Ljubljana is Slovenia’s capital city and…

Ljubljana was the first stop on my recent Slovenia road trip, and I have to say the city really took me by surprise. For one, I wasn’t expecting it to be so photogenic. The…

If you read about my journey to learning Spanish with Rosetta Stone, then you know I’ve been using their language learning program since last spring before my trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. I’ve tried improving…

When I was younger, buying stylish luggage was one of those things that always fell into the “someday” category. I’d receive beat up hand-me-down suitcases from family members, but never wanted to pull the…

Slovenia is the most underrated destination I visited this year — but not only that, it’s probably my favorite place I visited as well. That said, I wanted to focus this post on giving…

Thailand is known the world over for its delicious cuisine, and all my friends know that it’s one of my favorite go-to delivery orders when I’m back home from trips. If you plan on…

Since moving back to Los Angeles, I’ve been seeking out easy escapes that I can access on a weekend whim or mid-week if the mood strikes. Packing up for a flight is seeming less…

If you’re interested in traveling somewhere that looks like a 3D painting, has a variety of activities and landscapes and isn’t overrun by tourists, then a trip to Slovenia should be next on your…

Prague might just be the most beautiful European city I’ve visited to date. Yep, I stand behind that statement. And it’s funny because Prague was a last minute add-on to my recent two and…

To be honest, Mendocino is one of those places I’d heard about from Northern California-based friends but never really had on my radar as a must-visit destination. California has so many stunning locales to…
