Marival Armony Luxury Resort in Riviera Nayarit Mexico.

As someone who is into adventure, resorts are usually the last thing on my mind. I love exploring volcanoes in Asia, scuba diving with sharks in Africa, and climbing mountains in South America, but when it comes to pure relaxation, it’s really hard to beat a luxury resort.

Resorts are something I’ve come to appreciate over the years and recently, my wife and I had the chance to spend three nights at the Marival Armony Luxury Resort & Suites, an adult-only all-inclusive resort in Punta Mita, Riviera Nayarit. When it comes to Puerto Vallarta vacations, it’s hard to beat the Riviera Nayarit area, which is located roughly 45 minutes north of the famous Puerto Vallarta.

In this travel blog post, I’m going to highlight our amazing three-night stay at Marival Armony Luxury Resort & Suites.

Things To Do in Jordan

With a history of welcoming visitors, including the camel caravans that traveled the King’s Highway, the Roman legionnaires, the various Muslim armies and zealous Crusaders, Jordan is continuing on it’s tradition with today’s common tourist. It’s also a great place to get a taste for the middle east. Surrounded by a region of conflict, Jordan remains a safe haven for those wanting to explore these incredibly historic lands. From World Heritage Sites to stunning desert landscapes, Jordan has been captivating explorers and travellers for thousands of years.

In a land that predates biblical times, there are a lot of things to do in Jordan. Separated from Palestine by the Jordan River and sharing a border with Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iraq, Jordan was home to the ancient biblical kingdoms of Moab, Gilead, and Edom, as well as the Nabatean Kingdom, Roman conquests, and the Nabataean culture that created the world-famous red stone city of Petra. Needless to say, there is history everywhere you look.

We explored Jordan as part of a one-month trip that included Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. We found that a lot of the people we met were doing something similar. All three countries are so close that it might make sense if you have the time. We spent just over two weeks in Egypt with one whole week on a live-aboard scuba diving ship, four days in Israel, and one week in Jordan. One week was enough to see the most famous sites, but there’s a heck of a lot more to see in Jordan. Another couple we had met from Germany had been travelling around the country for a month and loved it. However, for those of you who do only have one week or so, this will be a great itinerary to follow.

Finding The Best “Travel” Credit Card for You

how to be a travel hacker
As many of you know, I love credit cards. I often have as many as 6-10 in my wallet at a time. There are a variety of reasons as to why I love credit cards and the top reason is due to the reward points you can earn with them. I’m known as a travel hacker, meaning I utilize credit cards to rack up frequent flyer miles and reward points and then use them on incredible trips around the world. However, I also love credit cards because they make it easy to keep track of expenses, come with travel insurance and other benefits, and keep my pockets free from loose change.
Not all credit cards are created equal though, and so I thought I’d share some tips for finding the best one for you.

How To Find The Perfect Travel Credit Card

Not all credit cards are created equal and not all cards will be a great match for your needs. I should also mention that you can hold more than one if need be. I often carry upwards of 10 different credit cards, mainly because I like to maximize my travel points. At the same time, I never spend more than I have. In fact, this is important. If you can’t pay off your balance in full each month, I would stay away from credit cards as the interest will quickly deflate the value of your points and cause a lot of stress in your life.

The Best Way to Book Hostels Around the World

How to Book Hostels Around the World

Hostels are another popular choice of accommodation, especially for budget travellers. Hostels can be found almost anywhere in the world and are usually much cheaper than hotels. Hostels are also a better place to meet other travellers as they usually have a common room where everyone hangs out. Hostels also provide much better advice on destinations and things to do and hostels can be a good place to find people who will join you on adventures. In Australia, for example, you can find postings for people looking to rent apartments together, to rideshare around the country with, partake in activities together and so forth. Even if hotels are in your budget, you might want to stay in a hostel just for the social aspect. [Read more…] about The Best Way to Book Hostels Around the World

Why Couchsurfing is a Great Way to Travel

Couchsurfing is one of my favorite types of accommodation when traveling. It’s a community of like-minded travellers who are willing to let you crash at their place for free. While the name certainly implies that you’ll be sleeping on a couch, this isn’t always the case. When searching for a place to sleep, you can read profiles and search for people who have private rooms available rather than a couch, which comes in handy for couples and families. I have found couchsurfing to be the best way to meet friendly locals. Think about it – they are letting you stay with them for free! You can view their profile and see if you both share similar interests and if other people found them welcoming. Couchsurfing is much more work than Airbnb, hostels or hotels because you need to sift through your potential hosts, read their profiles and send messages to each and every one of them, waiting for a reply as to whether they can host you or not. You can’t just book it like you can with the other options. Also, couchsurfing is not the best option if you only plan on staying one night or have no interest in the host themselves. Hosts generally expect that you spend a little bit of time with them. After all, you’re staying in their house! Couchsurfing is built as a community so if you’re looking to actually meet and hang out with the hosts, this option is for you!

How To Become a House-sitter

House-sitting is a great option if you’re looking to stay somewhere for a couple of weeks or more in one area. This can be really great for those wanting a local vibe as you’ll be staying in someone’s house in a local neighbourhood or in the countryside. House-sitting takes a lot of preparation in the beginning as you’ll need to create a well-rounded profile and research all the listings. I find house-sitting much more fitting for those without permanent jobs or for retired couples, though it can be for anyone. Typically, it involves taking care of pets or plants, so you need to be ready to do your part in exchange for a free place. [Read more…] about How to House-sit Around the World
