Being a foreigner makes you stand out; a woman traveling alone can still be an oddity in some places. Learn about the culture and make sure you will feel comfortable conforming to the customs.

You'll have more miles to play with. If you have 10,000 in US and 15,000 in AA (not enough for a free trip), now you will have enough.

Neither tall enough or blond enough enough to ever live in Copenhagen, it remains one of my favorite cities in the world. Easy to get to, I will jump at any excuse to get on a plane for a dose of the Danish - after all, these are the people that invented Joe & The Juice, absolute genius.

You busted your ass, beat the odds and silenced the haters -- you made it to India! You've just made a huge step in your life as a traveler, and while there's a lot more work to be done, you deserve to savor and enjoy this moment.

Amble down La Reforma and through the Zona Rosa and into La Roma. Wind up outside the same Mezcal speakeasy, only this time the window is alive with revelers. Follow a group of hipsters through the front door and realize it's actually just a house party. Stay until four a.m. anyway.

It's important to note that airline clubs vary greatly in quality, even within a single airline.

With the cheese-fest that is Valentine's Day fast approaching, it's time to get your exit strategy in place.

Something very special that happens every year without fail and without any doom nor gloom, just plenty of elegance, colour and tradition. It is the event of the year in Venice's calendar and it explains why you'll find rows and rows of masks in the souvenir shops and how you will find the magic of Venice is still alive.

If you have a phobia of thousands of motorbikes coming at you from all directions, think twice about Saigon. There are hardly any stoplights in the city, and a constant stream of traffic.

On a recent flight from Chicago to Philadelphia, Melissa Brown sat next to a dilemma: a fellow passenger whose actions could crash the plane, but probably wouldn't.

New York City is an amazing and energetic place to work, but one of my favorite times of year is leaving the hustle of the city behind for a family trip to Sea Island, Georgia.

The village of Gatlinburg has mountain peaks rising higher than 6,000 feet and an aerial view of the Smokies.

This is a good time to visit no matter the likely gentrification that will almost surely wash away the ancient city's singular story.
