You know when you’re booking a flight or hotel online and there’s that section to add trip insurance? You may scroll past it thinking “I’ll get it later” or, “Nah, I don’t need it.” First off, your vacation time and safety are too precious to leave to chance. Secondly, the travel insurance offered at checkout…
If you can handle freezing temperatures, so much more of the year and world will open up to you. Put on the right gear and a snowy forest looks ideal for a hike, a glacier invites a climb, and an iceberg-filled lake inspires a kayak session. Cold is just a frame of mind, and those…
We’ve driven Central California’s jaw-dropping section of the Pacific Coast Highway a few times, but never gave San Luis Obispo County the credit it deserves. Halfway between LA and San Francisco, it’s the heart of the Central Coast but often overshadowed by its big-city neighbors and legendary ocean road. We’ve even hopped out to wildlife…
“You guys seem cool, just take my house for the weekend and leave the keys under the mat,” says Neil our Couchsurfing host, whom we’d known for all of twenty minutes back in 2013. After a fun chat about our shared love of travel, his original offer of a one-night stay in his guest room…
We followed the scent of corn tortillas crisping on the griddle. It was our first day in El Salvador and we’d been dreaming of pupusas–the country’s signature dish. The outdoor grill was run by three women, one shaping the dough into palm-sized circles, another folding in filling like cheese, veggies, and beans, and the third…
We’ll admit it…we didn’t use travel insurance until we set out on our trip around the world. We’d see that option at the bottom of the Orbitz checkout page and think, “Nah, we’ll be fine.” We didn’t want to bother with it every time we booked a trip somewhere and we still don’t—that’s why we…
We just spent nine days in the hot (and cold), extremely windy, dusty, inhospitable Black Rock Desert…and we loved every minute of it. Burning Man is sheer beauty, love, art, and magic (read our travelogue on the experience, here) but you need to be prepared to fully enjoy yourself. Wondering how we survived 50-degree daily…
We thought we’d road trip Florida for maybe three weeks…it turned into nearly six! And we didn’t lollygag anywhere either; we explored 36 different regions, and unique they were…from white sand beaches to swamps, springs, islands, savanna, hardwood hammocks, villages, and various “capitals” of the world. This is a bit of a Florida phenomenon; it’s…
Did you know that Orlando is America’s most-visited vacation destination? People, Florida has so much more going for it than amusement parks! More freshwater springs than anywhere in the world, the one and only Everglades, the oldest European city in the U.S., a melting pot of cultures from around the globe, and beach weather when…
Leaving Petra, we joined a tour bus full of Jordanian women–heading 130 miles in the wrong direction. We don’t know why we did this, considering we weren’t exactly sure where they were going or when they would arrive to our intended destination, but we knew it was going to be an adventure. We hopped in,…
We started HoneyTrek to inspire more people to explore the world. Six years later, we want to help you do more than dream…we want you to take action! Using the 600+ destinations we’ve explored and the 75 regions featured in our National Geographic travel guide as a framework, we’ve created HoneyTrek Trips. We’ve teamed up…
