Hello Reader, We love winter. We crave snow and cold weather and yearn for hot mulled cider and a crackling fire. We love frolicking in the snow just as much as some folks love laying on a beach, but we've learned to pack carefully to prepare for the cold. Here are our favorite, field-tested essentials for winter travel: Travel-Friendly Winter Boots: A waterproof, thermal-insulting boot with flexible soles comfortable enough to walk in all day and can be stuffed into a suitcase is an absolute...

Hello Reader, It's Lia & Jeremy from Practical Wanderlust, your travel-obsessed blogger friends! At this point in our life (ahem: early 30's) we spend more time at home more than on the road.

It's like one big shrine to our travel obsession - plus, it definitely helps ease that nagging feeling that it's time to take off...

Specifically when it comes to travel! Our little one has been on several international adventures, two jam-packed Disney vacations, and a whole bunch of domestic trips. So, now that we've tested out our...

I get so many emails that I just end up ignoring all of them... only to end up overpaying and adding panic-induced rush shipping a few weeks later! But listen, my fellow easily overwhelmed shoppers: I've found a few worthwhile deals to take advantage of today. Take advantage of them so you can check some people off your gift list (and not end up panic-buying 3 days before Christmas like I always do)! Here are our personal...

Hey Reader, Castles atop craggy cliffs. Cobblestone streets paved with blue bricks. Chirping Coqui frogs. Mountains, Caribbean Sea, tropical rainforest, and bioluminescent bays. Welcome to Puerto Rico, a lush, enchanted place that defies simple explanation. It is both an island and an archipelago with its own small islands; it has a strong Latino identity despite belonging to the U.S. as a territory; its language, food, culture, and history are informed by a mix of Indigenous Taíno people,...
