Southern California has quite literally had a hellacious week as out-of-control fires have ravaged Los Angeles.

While there are certainly a lot of question marks about what went wrong and how better to handle future disasters, over-regulations and bureaucratic nonsense are no strangers to the “Golden State,” no matter which side of the fence you stand politically.

We first announced last summer San Diego’s alternate airport was reopening their doors to the public after previously failed ventures, but it turns out we jumped the gun…slightly.

Being a 10-year San Diego resident, I should’ve known better before reporting such news, as anything fresh, new, and exciting within California’s borders often comes with contingencies.

As such, it’s now a new year and San Diego County just got around to approving commercial flights to San Diego’s new alternative airport – and no, it’s not locals’ favorite Tijuana loophole. That’s old news.

American Airlines Is Coming To Carlsbad

When we first revealed the surprising news that Carlsbad’s McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD) was reopening doors to the public, many of you chimed in with mixed feelings.

It begs the question, one, if it’s necessary, and two, will it be a game-changer?

If you’re unaware, Carlsbad is a very family-friendly, soccer-mom beach town sandwiched roughly 40 minutes north of San Diego proper and just 25 minutes from Orange County.

In recent years, local businessman Ted Vallas had lofty dreams for California Pacific Airlines to anchor CLD with regional flights to such places as Vegas and Oakland, but flying out of Carlsbad on a no-name carrier never caught on.

Having launched a year or two before the pandemic, chances are this grand venture would’ve ceased operations anyway.

Nowadays, CLD only serves Advanced Air seasonally to Mammoth Lakes and JSX, a public charter making a name for itself on social media as a new, trendy concept.

As you see, CLD has long missed out on major players. That will soon change in February when American Airlines enters the chat, a historic first for SoCal and even more so for Carlsbad.

Is Flying To/From Carlsbad Worth It?

Perhaps others disagree, but I’ve seen hyping up Carlsbad and San Diego’s other cluster of northern beach towns for years as go-to destinations in their own right.

Carlsbad has more than enough to make your base with high-end resorts like one of my favorites, Park Hyatt Aviara, and more kiddo-friendly LEGOLAND for those who have never felt the pain of stepping on a Lego and who think Disneyland is a bit too overwhelming.

Not to mention the small-town charm of Carlsbad Village, teeming with popular local eats, swim trunk-appropriate bars, and even more resorts along Southern California’s famous shores.

So, will people fly directly here, or is it worth dealing with San Diego International Airport’s ongoing construction headaches?

Well, the ladder won’t go on forever, and America has only committed to dipping its toe in the water with one route to Phoenix launching on February 13.

Plus, Orange County is home to John Wayne Airport (SNA) with many more flights, so you’re not exactly finding a loophole by flying into Carlsbad.

What Are The Benefits?

It all boils down to what you want to do. If you’re the type who wants a taste of city life and to check off San Diego’s bucket list attractions like the world-famous zoo, maybe fly to San Diego.

If you want to check out San Diego’s quintessential beach towns with fewer tourists and more of a local feel, Carlsbad is your best bet to visit not only Carlsbad itself but also local gems like Solana Beach and Cardiff-by-the-Sea.

There’s one type of traveler who will benefit the most – both California and Arizona road trippers.

Each state hates seeing each other’s license plates across state lines, and it’s fair to say driving each way across the desert becomes monotonous.

More flights to the San Diego region and Arizona’s sole metropolis makes weekend getaways more efficient, plus more connectivity to one of American’s main hubs since San Diego isn’t as connected as LA.

For example, flying through Phoenix was a life-saver for me on Thanksgiving Day after my flight was canceled.

With no other options to turn to, there was one flight left with a layover in Phoenix, ultimately connecting me to my final destination.

Albeit, this was American’s other new nonstop route to Phoenix out of Tijuana, but the same premise applies.

I would have much rather flown out of Carlsbad to avoid the hassle of customs, so if anything, Carlsbad serves as a great lifeline for last-minute schedule changes.

Regardless, time will tell if Carlsbad becomes a new hotspot. History says no, but CLD has never had a cornerstone of American Airlines’ magnitude.

Year after year, the love and appreciation Americans have for Mexico always seem to grow no matter how grim a picture is painted of their southerly neighbor.

It is, by a long mile, the most popular international destination for U.S. passport holders, regardless of concerns about petty crime and gang activity, which time and again make mainstream media headlines.

While it’s true there are certain Mexican states that you wouldn’t want to find yourself traveling alone as a foreigner––like any other country with good and bad parts––most tourist hotspots south of the border are relatively safe for visiting.

You don’t need to trust a complete stranger who writes travel articles for a living online: trust U.S. authorities.

If you’re planning on escaping to Mexico in the coming weeks for some much-needed time in the sun or a cultural immersion, here are 4 of the safest destinations as confirmed by the U.S. State Department itself:

Los Cabos

Mexico’s top destination for unwinding, boasting an enviable concentration of luxurious hotels, Los Cabos, is one of the least-dangerous beach destinations for risk-averse travelers.

For starters, most travelers heading to Cabo will be staying in an all-inclusive resort with their own private beach and world-class amenities, and even those who dare venture outside will find a strictly surveilled downtown area.

Police officers regularly patrol public beaches along the resort strip between the twin cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo, and there is a presence of CCTV and security guards in touristy districts.

When it comes to tourists being affected by crime, very few, if any at all, report complaints: in fact, it’s the exact opposite, as they’re spending a longer time in Cabo than other coastal destinations in Mexico, drawn to its safety and laid-back vibe.

Riviera Nayarit

An up-and-coming leisure hotspot stretching for over 200 miles along the Mexican Pacific, from Nuevo Vallarta, on the Jalisco-Nayarit state border, to San Blas, the Riviera Nayarit is dotted with peaceful beachfront settlements and pristine marine reserves.

It is often skipped altogether by tourists landing in Puerto Vallarta, the trendy resort city on the Jalisco side, but as it turns out, the state of Nayarit is much safer:

In fact, U.S. authorities urge Americans to ‘reconsider’ traveling to Jalisco due to elevated crime and gang activity, while they simply encourage them to exercise ‘greater caution’ in the state of Nayarit, including its beautiful coast.

Be it surfer paradise Sayulita, the picture-perfect Bucerias, with its cobbled Main Street leading down to the ocean, or a well-frequented Guayabitos Beach, Americans are under no particularly significant risk vacationing up and down Nayarit.

Tulum

The crown jewel of the Mexican Caribbean, Tulum is a historic coastal town combining both Old World allure and wellness:

Its main beach is bounded by a series of five-star resorts and exclusive villas, while Tulum’s ancient archeological zone is highly sought-after by culture enthusiasts, thanks to its well-preserved temples and a scenic fort overlooking the Caribbean.

Similarly to other municipalities in the state of Quintana Roo, like Cancun and Playa Del Carmen, Tulum is considered a Level 2 destination by the U.S. State Department––in other words, crime is largely kept under control and reduced to petty incidents.

Though violence can take place, it is mostly restricted to suburban zones not visited by foreigners, and when it does spill over into Downtown, it typically involves individuals engaging in illicit activities and participating in gang culture.

Merida

The only destination on this list that American authorities consider perfectly safe to visit, Merida is a much-overlooked cultural gem of the Yucatan Peninsula that’s only recently started gaining traction, thanks to its improved connectivity with the Maya Train.

Capital of Yucatan (the state), it is distinguished for being one of the best-preserved colonial cities of the Americas, home to the oldest Spanish-built cathedral in the mainland continent, and a near-intact historic center with brightly-painted facades and leafy, cafe-bordered plazas.

Other than its notorious charm, Merida has attained popularity for its low-risk status as a destination: at Level 1, according to the U.S. State Department, Americans should exercise ‘normal’ precautions when visiting.

This means that, while petty crime and theft can occur, violent approaches are extremely unlikely, and the overwhelming majority of tourists will have a stress-free experience in Merida.

Bye, bye Italy, France, hello Türkiye––or as the former name spelled out, Turkey:

A transcontinental country bestriding the natural border between Europe and Asia, it is seeing a remarkable increase in tourism, particularly coming from the United States, with 1.9 million Americans traveling across the Atlantic to marvel at its ancient sites and natural wonders.

That’s already a significant 45% increase year-on-year compared to 2023, and this year, those numbers are expected to skyrocket further, with a guaranteed 2 million Americans expected to land in Istanbul Airport throughout 2025.

If Türkiye’s all but an exotic name on a map to you, you may be wondering what it is about the Mediterranean country that appeals so strongly to U.S. tourists––without further ado, here are 5 reasons why:

From Ancient Wonders To Pristine Beaches

Türkiye’s rich culture is undoubtedly the main reason why tourists come from afar to vacation here: it has ancient ruins as well-preserved as Greece’s, incredibly historical cities that rival Italy’s in beauty, and its Anatolian nature is nothing short of a force to be reckoned with.

Think Cappadocia, with its cone-shaped formations, entire villages built into caves, and hot-air-balloon-dotted cotton candy skies, or the verdant mountains in Rize, in the north, full of alpine-style settlements; of course, there’s not Türkiye without its Mediterranean:

Extending for a whopping 3,220 miles, it is littered with vibrant port cities, archeological zones that predate civilization as we know it, and picture-perfect beaches with golden sands and turquoise seas (you haven’t been to heaven until you’ve been to an offbeat Kaş).

A Plethora Of Incredible Destinations

Türkiye also lays claim to several of Europe’s most popular resort destinations, one of them being Izmir, which combines beach getaway and cultural expeditions:

The landmark-packed center is famous for its plethora of monuments, most notably the Clock Tower and the Greek-built Smyrna Agora, while Pirlanta Beach has soft sands, calm, clear waters, and a selection of seafood eateries.

The country’s top seaside resort, however, is Antalya, on the South Mediterranean Coast, distinguished by its Roman ruins, charming Kaleiçi (Old Town), where narrow footpaths follow along rows of colorful Ottoman-era houses, and a palm-tree-lined Konyaaltı Beach.

As Türkiye Today notes, the number one destination is Istanbul, a bustling metropolis playing host to the iconic Galata Tower, the Byzantine cathedral-turned-mosque-turned-museum-turned-mosque-again Hagia Sophia, and the lively Grand Bazaar.

A Cheaper Sunny Getaway

It is no longer dirt cheap to visit Türkiye as it was prior to the pandemic––you can thank a volatile currency and the current Government’s unorthodox economic approach for that––but it is still a bargain in some places.

You can still eat for as cheap as $7-8 in Istanbul’s Karaköy, a cafe-dominated harbor-side district, and inexpensive accommodation at the Vardar Palace Hotel in centrally-located Beyoğlu will set you back by $ 63 a night.

In Bodrum, an up-and-coming beach hotspot that’s been compared to St Tropez, an overnight stay at a pool-equipped resort costs from $96 (check out the amazing Rammos), whereas beachfront hotels in Antalya are much-cheaper even, starting from $51 at La Cactus Butik Otel.

Türkiye is not exactly the cheapest flight ticket for Americans, but the low prices locally definitely offset any initial exorbitant costs.

Türkiye Is More Liberal Than You Might Think

We should point out that, contrary to popular belief, Türkiye is a lot more liberal than people might think.

Despite being an Islamic-majority country, there is no requirement for women to dress modestly, as in, with their heads, shoulders, and legs covered, unless they’re entering a public mosque or they’re visiting somewhere ultra-conservative like Konya.

You’ll come across people of all sorts traveling around Türkiye, from devout religious to the secular kind, and overall, social attitudes are very relaxed, especially in larger urban centers like Istanbul and Izmir, where there is a higher influx of tourists.

That being said, we wouldn’t encourage you to display affection in public if you have a same-sex partner, or if you’re a woman, avoid wearing revealing outfits in non-beach settings:

In other words, be respectful of local customs and Turks will be respectful towards you.

No Visa Requirements For American Travelers!

Last but certainly not least, the low-level bureaucracy that awaits Americans at the border is a big incentive for tourists to come here instead of Western Europe.

This year, the European Union will introduce an Entry Authorization System, and U.S. passport holders will no longer be able to board EU-bound flights without applying first for a digital entry permit––this is no longer the case in Türkiye.

Since December 2023, Americans no longer need an eVisa to travel to the Mediterranean gem, meaning carrying a valid passport with at least one blank page for stamping and at least 6 months left of validity upon arrival are the only requirements.

U.S. citizens can stay in Türkiye visa-free for 3 months, and the time they spend in the country has no impact whatsoever on the amount of time they’re allowed to stay in Europe’s Schengen Area, which is great news for digital nomads.

The New Year has finally arrived! While many of us convince ourselves we’ll activate a hard reset at the turn of midnight with a sudden passion for the StairMaster, travel goals are always the most feasible.

Backed by a recent report showcasing the world’s best destinations to kick off 2025 with your budget in mind, Asia stands out the most.

Truth is, winter is an incredible time to globetrot, and not just nearby Caribbean Islands and Mexico’s hotspots.

Asia may seem like a far-flung land of bucket-list wonders, and it is, but let’s not take for granted how connected our skies have become.

You can travel to a majority of Asia’s metropolises with just a single layover from the U.S. For example, Thailand has no direct flights (for now), but still remains Southeast Asia’s tourism titan.

Offering visitors cheap stays and rich cultural experiences, in no particular order, these 4 Asian metropolises make for perfect sunny city breaks rather than shivering in your skivvies back home:

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia’s Captivating Urban Sprawl

How does 80 degrees in January sound?

Kuala Lumpur may not be a beach city, but it’s a sprawling metropolis brimming with wondrous sites, buzzing markets, and perhaps most notably, the Batu Caves, a vast cave system work the steep 272-step hike explore hidden Hindu temples and sweeping views of the city.

Malaysia’s capital is renowned for its safety, affordability, and phenomenal architecture, ranging from sky-scraping marvels to preserved structures of its former British colonization.

With an average price of $62/night, you’ll find cheap stays, no matter your preferred style of accommodations.

Luxury travelers will enjoy great rates at such places as 5-star Amari Kuala Lumpur for $71, and even the Ritz Carlton is only $160 on Priceline in February – unheard of!

If you do opt for opulence, check the amenities for rooftop pools like what Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur has to offer.

Bangkok: Real Estate May Be Surging, But Hotels Are Still Affordable

Truth be told, I’ve been keeping an eye on Bangkok’s condo market as an Airbnb investment, and I think I missed my chance to score dirt-cheap condos.

The good news for travelers, however, is Bangkok still offers an array of fancy schmancy hotels to high-rise condo rentals for an incredible value.

With temperatures in the high 70s at this time of year, Bangkok is a splendid destination before the summer humidity takes over.

Between floating markets, night markets, rooftop bars, never-ending temples, and incomparable nightlife, travelers never have an issue finding their niche in Bangkok.

However, my personal favorite district is Chinatown (Yaowarat) for action-packed people-watching, sensational eats, and cheap shops to haggle.

The Border Telegraph reports Bangkok’s hotels average out to $65/night, so visitors can easily treat themselves to high-end stays, such as the 5-star Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium beating the average at $61.

Ho Chi Minh City: An Insanely Cheap Gateway To Vietnam’s Wonders

Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is a vast urban jungle of sensory overload from the aromas of street food vendors, the sounds of an endless sea of scooters, and eye-popping sites like the Notre Dame Cathedral and intriguing museums like War Remnants Museum (only $1.57 admission)

There will never be a dull moment exploring this city, but most travelers prefer to run the gamut since there are so many more enticing destinations, from Da Nang’s beaches to Hanoi’s cultural delights.

No matter the reason for your trip, Ho Chi Minh is incredibly cheap, with sunny 78-degree days.

Like Bangkok, hotels average $65/night, but you can score great deals below the average, such as 4-star Odys Boutique Hotel for $36 or level up to a 5-star stay at Windsor Plaza Hotel for only $57 in February.

Phnom Penh: Southeast Asia’s Up-And-Coming City

Perhaps the least known on this list, Phnom Penh is Cambodia’s vast capital city but is typically overshadowed by tourist hotspot Siem Reap, a much smaller city beaming with history and impeccably preserved sites like world-renowned Angor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Phnom Penh is ready to take center stage, though, as the Los Angeles Times just ran a feature on Cambodia’s newfound fame as an up-and-coming destination.

Prices are jaw-dropping here. This city of traditional markets, grand palaces, and more-than-affordable luxury makes for a great base as you discover Cambodia’s lush nature, immaculate ruins, and temples.

The weather hovers around 78, and hotel rates average an even $50/night, but believe it or not, you can score luxury hotels like Snowbell Hotel for just $37 on Agoda.

Travelers are fickle. At one moment, we’re in search of winter sun, and the next we’re totally cool packing extra layers as long as we can witness Northern Lights, indulge in Christmas market delights, or hit the slopes in a magical mountain town.

Iceland may not tick off the latter as a ski destination, but it’s long been both mystical and mysterious to travelers worldwide, especially with easier connectivity over the last decade.

As such, more and more travelers couldn’t stifle their wanderlust impulses anymore, ultimately flocking to Iceland’s stunning waterfalls and famous Blue Lagoon and exploring the charming, vibrant streets of Reykjavik.

I had a blast the first time I visited Iceland, and I still consider this wondrous island to be my favorite country.

On my second trip, though…ehh, let’s just say the magic was lost when sharing space at waterfalls and black sand beaches as if I was a fish swimming upstream against a current of selfie sticks.

The good news is there’s a perfect alternative. Just as captivating with similar culture, otherworldly landscapes, and yes, unpredictable weather (so be ready), lies Europe’s lesser-known Faroe Islands, just highlighted by Yardbarker as a 2025 must-visit.

Europe’s Best Alternative To Iceland

The Faroe Islands boast all the same charm you find in Iceland except for a few quirks like Reykajvik’s museum dedicated to the male anatomy.

But, like Iceland, there are some shared quirks too, such as folklore legends of hidden elves living within society and endless streets with unpronounceable names like Tinghúsvegur.

As for similar attractions, expect to find unimaginably beautiful waterfalls like Múlafossur, rolling landscapes reminiscent of a Lord of the Rings film, hobbit-like homes, and yes, you can even get up close and personal with miniature horses.

One notable missing piece in comparison to Iceland is the famous Blue Lagoon, but as a visitor myself, I’d say you can skip it in favor of Iceland’s new hotspot Akureyri, where spas’ entry fees are slashed in half.

The Faroes don’t have any geothermal spas, but you can check out Varmakelda, known as “The Healing Spring,” which is said to ‘increase love and passion’ if you’re into that woo-woo stuff.

Some other notable plusses for The Faroes are:

• Saksun has black sand beaches similar to Iceland’s Vik
• There’s no ‘Ring Road’ like Iceland, but there’s an impressive Eysturoy Tunnel to connect islands
• For cheap eats, try a Faroese ‘French-style ‘hot dog, comparable to Iceland’s gas station staple
• Deeply-rooted Viking heritage; check out The Faroe Islands National Museum ($11 admission)
• The capital Torshavn; a spitting image of Reykjavik’s multi-colored rows of delightful streets

Reaching The Faroes & Where To Stay

The Faroe Islands might be blushing brighter than their vibrant, postcard-worthy red townscape.

Following Iceland’s footsteps, their flagship carrier Atlantic Airways launched the first-ever direct flight to the States in 2023, but has since been discontinued due to lack of interest.

One could argue serving New York’s lesser-known New York Stewart International Airport was a mistake, but the historic route never took off like Iceland’s Play Airlines.

The good news is there are still a variety of ways to reach The Faroes, including Atlantic Airways, with popular connecting hubs such as London, Paris, Barcelona, and yes, even Reykjavik, to double dip in similar destinations.

The Faroe Islands welcomed their first name-brand hotels in 2020, so you can use your points at Hilton Garden Inn Faroe Islands or opt for a more authentic feel, such as the aforementioned hobbit-like homes.

If I’m not cashing in Hilton points, I’d choose The View in Bøur, with astounding waterfront views in traditional sod-roofed houses.

The Faroes’ Stunning Coastal Villages

Torshavn makes a great base, just like Reykjavik would in Iceland, but paying a visit to the Faroes’ tiny villages might be the highlight of your trip.

Anyone who’s done deep research on where to go in the Faroes has to have Gjógv at the top of their list.

Named after a 200-meter-long sea-filled gorge, this blip on the map packs a punch with natural beauty as one of the best photo-worthy spots of Denmark’s autonomous nation.

Next would be Nólsoy, an island of its own just a half-hour ferry ride from Torshavn, beholding epic mountain views.

Mykines (open late spring through summer) is home to a fruitful Puffin population, a popular sightseeing excursion both here and in Iceland.

For the adventurous, the coastal village of Tjørnuvík is known as a surfer’s paradise. Pack a wetsuit!
