There’s a weird dichotomy that I find while traveling: the thrilling feeling of exploring a totally new place, bursting at the seams with wanderlust, and the mundane hotel I stay in, which I could easily find five minutes from my house. That’s why it’s so fun when I find truly unique getaways, especially in my own state. It improves the overall travel experience so much!
Average hotels cramping your style? Here are the most unique places to stay in Texas so your trip’s memorable moments don’t end when you get back to your hotel room.
It’s always special to get to be amongst the first people to experience a new cruise ship on an inaugural sailing, and doing so for Wonder of the Seas, the biggest ship in the world, feels especially magical. We tried to explore her as much as possible during our 7-day Caribbean voyage, but what can I say – she’s so big, you just can’t possibly experience it all in one trip! Here’s my take on Royal Caribbean’s newest addition to its fleet.
Anyone who knows me know how much I love the Big Island of Hawaii. I grew up going there yearly, camping out on the beach with my dad near Kona and exploring all that the island had to offer. I never really did a luxury resort stay there until I became a travel blogger. Recently, I’ve been able to return to Hawaii several times for work. I’m so excited that Southwest Airlines will be launching flights to Kona soon (service start date subject to government approvals), allowing even more access to the Big Island. Two free checked bags (first and second checked bags, weight and size limits apply) means being able to pack ALL of my resort wear and bring home plenty of souvenirs too. And since I’m a hoarder of Southwest points, I’m hoping to make a yearly trip of it by using my points! For more information on Southwest Airlines flights to Hawaii visit, southwest.com/hawaii.
The Texas Hill Country is full of hidden gems, and a trip to Hamilton Pool is the perfect way to cool off and experience one of them. Located on a nature preserve in Dripping Springs, this park is home to a wide variety of plants and animals, some of which are endangered species. It’s a perfect escape from the city for a few hours and an easy day trip from Austin or San Antonio!
I recently had the chance to experience Northwest Arkansas, which was easy enough with Allegiant’s nonstop between Austin and NWA! I’d previously explored Hot Springs and Little Rock, Arkansas and had the best time, so I was super excited to visit a new area of Arkansas, and it did not disappoint! I stayed in Bentonville as my home base, and I had the opportunity to find some of the best things to do around Northwest Arkansas to share with y’all!

Banff National Park is a winter wonderland nestled in the Canadian Rockies.

While the 4-day Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu is a very popular option while visiting Peru, not everyone wants to spend 4 days hiking and 3 nights camping on their trip. For those looking for a taste of the Inca Trail without such a time commitment, the 1 day Inca Trail day hike is a great choice!
