With the loss of DEI, tech jobs, and the general economic recession, many Americans are unable to afford the rising costs of food and housing and having to seek alternative living situations… like their car.

Here are some resources if, like me, you're transitioning into car living to save money and stay off the streets.

Did you know Dubai was actually conceived to be a tourist city? Yeah, me either until recently. Dubai is like the Miami or Palm Springs to people in Europe. It's not far away and a great introduction to the UAE. English is the most common language and only about 15% of the population of Dubai is actually from the UAE so you're bound to meet some really amazing people when you're there! Here are my top places to go, things to do, restaurants, etc.

sept 26-28th - we made the BEST OF IT SHOCK YA BOTTOM - i met some of the greatest locals here - also is everyone just inherently funny here or do we just have the same sense of humorI swear, Richmond has that effortlessly creative energy — vintage shops, killer food, and people who are way too funny for their own good.

If you've never cruised to Alaska, you may not know how it differs from any other cruise, but let me be the one to tell you that it is a very different beast. Of course, you will need many of the items on my Must Haves: Cruise Edition list, but Alaska will require a bit… more. Be sure to account for the difference in weight of your Alaskan cruise items. No one wants an overweight baggage charge at the airport. Remember, it is usually cheaper to check another suitcase (and have room for souvenirs) than it is to pay for that one overweight bag. To visit my list with all my regular cruise must-haves, click here: benable.com/jaime_with_magical_travel/must-haves-cruise-edition. Happy Travels! (Note: This is not an exhaustive packing list but rather items that are easily overlooked.)

My daughter & I are huge twenty one pilot fans. She’s been obsessed with them for 10 years and has begged to see a hometown show. In 2023 my daughter convinced my husband to take her to see them play a charity softball game. He ended up having a work trip that he couldn’t miss. She was devastated. So I convinced my son to come and we drove 19 hours to Columbus. That trip I fell in love with Columbus, something I never thought I’d say. It’s the first city I could ever see myself living in. We loved it so much in 2024 we went back to see 3 hometown shows. There probably won’t be anything earth shattering to most bust here are my favorite stops we made.

Rome has always held a special place in my heart—not just for its ancient wonders and irresistible charm, but because it’s woven into my own story. I first fell in love with the city the day I got engaged at the Trevi Fountain, surrounded by the sound of rushing water, glowing lights, and the feeling that the whole Eternal City was celebrating with us. Returning to Rome years later with my 2-year-old daughter added an entirely new layer of magic to the trip. Our favorite things to do blended iconic landmarks with the simple joys of childhood: wandering through grand piazzas where she pointed excitedly at pigeons as if they were rare exotic birds, stopping to smile at warm-hearted nonnas who immediately adored her, and discovering vintage carousels that spun with old-world charm. We took our time savoring gelato in Trastevere, strolling by the Colosseum, wandering through museums, and finding quiet corners like the gardens of Villa Borghese. Experiencing Rome again—this time through her wide-eyed wonder—made every familiar sight feel new. Visiting Rome has become a tradition marked by both nostalgia and discovery, a place where big moments and simple joys come together. Each trip reminds me why this city will always be part of my story. Note this contains affiliate links.

Luang Prabang, the cultural center in northern Laos, blew me away. Situated on the mighty Mekong River, this town is a patchwork quilt of beautiful nature, fresh food, and artisan shops. Laos has put effort to make this town BEAUTIFUL and classy. My guide to Luang Prabang may be a little biased because it holds such a special place in my heart. Surprisingly, the center of the city almost feels like Europe, with tables set up in the street to people-watch while you slowly drink a coffee. The best part of my visit was wandering around the stunning alleyways, peeking in artisan shops and taking in the vibes. Not only is Luang Prabang reminiscent of the ancient Lanna kingdom with its beautiful brown traditional houses against green palm trees, but also in its influence of the French rule — as noted by the laissez faire cafes & best buttery croissant I’ve had in Southeast Asia.
