The Best of San Antonio, Texas in 24 Hours

Julie Last updated: January 18, 2021 United States 4 Comments

San Antonio is a fun city to visit in Texas, even if you have limited time. The River Walk and the Alamo are the highlights, but there are a few more great places to explore. If you have just one day in San Antonio, you have just enough time to tour the best spots in the city. Here are five …

Who wants to go on an African safari?

There are a lot of great places to choose from…Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, South Africa, and Namibia all top the list. You can spend a small fortune, by staying in luxury tents and hiring private drivers, or do it much cheaper, by camping and self-driving through some parks.

If you are looking for a budget safari destination, Kruger National Park in South Africa is a great place to consider. The accommodations are relatively cheap and you can drive through the park on your own. Adding on a game drive is worth the extra expense, since the park rangers know where to go to see lions, hyenas, and the more elusive animals.

So far, we have been on safari in South Africa and Botswana (all of the photos in this post were taken in Kruger). The Serengeti is high on our to-do list. To see more of Kruger, click the link in our bio.

Have you been on an African safari? We would love to hear about your experience!

Today I am sharing with you the lovely Isle of Skye.

This is one of Scotland’s most popular destinations. With charming towns, scenic drives, and short but thrilling hiking trails, this makes a great travel spot for all ages. Throw in a few castles, a whisky distillery, and some great restaurants, and you might never want to leave.

If you want to learn more, you can get started with our post about the best things to do in the Isle of Skye (click the link in our bio). But we have tons more info on our site, including sample itineraries, hiking posts, and lots of great travel tips.

As part of our wanderlust series, today I am sharing Petra, one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World.”

Petra was the capital city of the Nabataeans from roughly 300 BC to 100 AD. The Romans took over in 100 AD, then several earthquakes destroyed much of the city and Petra was abandoned. For centuries, Petra was left untouched, until it was discovered by a Swiss explorer in 1812. Petra became one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World” in 2007 and since then has been making the bucket lists of travelers all over the world.

This is a magical place. The first view of the Treasury is breathtaking, even though you know what it looks like from photos that plaster the internet and guidebooks. There is something about finally seeing it with your own eyes, this ancient, carved facade quietly peeking through the darkness of the Siq, that really does take your breath away.

However, there is a lot more to Petra than just seeing the Treasury. Hike to the High Place of Sacrifice, visit the Monastery and other ancient sites, and see Petra by Night. Take a look at our post (link in bio) for more things to do, how to plan your time, and (most importantly) how you can have the Treasury all to yourself.

Montenegro is a gorgeous country. With its walled coastal towns, stunning Bay of Kotor, misty mountain peaks, and off-the-beaten-path wetlands, this small country is full of surprises. Most people visit Kotor on a day trip from Croatia, but there is enough to do here for days, even weeks.

Top experiences include visiting Kotor, hiking the medieval walls of Kotor, driving the scenic loop around the Bay of Kotor, visiting Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks, exploring Lake Skadar National Park, road tripping to the coastal towns, and visiting Durmitor National Park.

Montenegro makes a great addition to a road trip through the Balkan Peninsula, where you can also visit Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Click the link in our bio to see more of Montenegro.

As part of our wanderlust series, today I am sharing Peru, one of our favorite travel destinations.

Visit Machu Picchu, tour the historic city of Cusco, hike the famous Inca Trail, explore the Sacred Valley, and venture into the Amazon. Drink Pisco Sours and dine on ceviche. Peru is a fabulous mix of history, outdoor adventures, dramatic landscapes, and culinary delights.

If you want to learn more, check out our 10 day Peru itinerary. This is probably the best 10 day trip we have ever taken, and that is saying a lot. It was adventure after adventure, with 10 days of thrills, new travel experiences, and unforgettable moments. To learn more, click the link in our bio.

By the way, if you are wondering why I am wearing a cast, it’s because I broke my hand while mountain biking near Ollantaytambo. Going to the clinic in Cusco is not how we planned on spending our time in Peru, but it definitely was an unforgettable moment!

It’s no secret that New Zealand is one of our favorite destinations in the world. New Zealand is the perfect blend of outdoor adventures, breathtaking landscapes, beautiful cities, and gourmet food.

Go wine tasting in Marlborough, hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, cruise the Milford Sound, tour the fairytale world of Hobbiton, take a helicopter tour over Mount Cook, take your pick from multi-day treks, go kayaking at Abel Tasman, visit the hot springs and thermal pools in Taupo, or tie a rubber band to your legs and jump off a bridge.

One of the best ways to tour New Zealand is from behind the wheel of a car (or a campervan). We have an epic 3-week itinerary where you can explore New Zealand from top the bottom. Click the link in our bio to learn more.
