Magazine inspired travel tips for when you just wanna have fun

Vacation PlanningVacation PlanningEver wish travel guides had a little more of what you really want to do? Fashion mags show us the fun side of cities - hot shopping, gourmet food, and hot nightspots. But that information passes its expiration date - sometimes before the mag goes to print.

If you want a hot girly trip outside of your favorite read's editorial schedule, you'll need another source to find your dream shopping district

Thankfully, the Internet has the same advice as magazines. But it's fresh and available when you want it.

Eat, Sleep, Party

Fabsearch has you covered for everything but shopping. This simple search engine is actually an archive of magazine reviewed hot spots to sleep or eat - perfect for when you remember reading something in Vogue that made you really want to go to Bali....but you can't remember when or why.

 

Store Adore = Shopping galore

Channel Becky Bloomwood by tuning into Store Adore. Instead of featuring products, it focuses on the shops that locals and stylish tourists love.

Each store profile is professionally written, and users upload their reviews as well. I'm taking advantage of the stores with online shopping until I can hit one of the select cities it covers - I might miss the atmosphere, but I still score the same sweet clothes.

  • On Surviving a Hurricane While Traveling, Lisa S. said "Growing up in good ole NC, I have survived my share of storms. Actually, where I sit currently (on a barrier island) has been under water many times. Staying on an island is scary. We leave if it is over a CAT 1. The most important thing for us is to fill our gas tanks at the first inkling that there may be a storm. Water, medicines, non perishable food, they're all really important. Honestly, if it is a big storm, alcohol later serves as pay for work. We stock up on EVERYTHING. We start eating out of the freezer days before (like we did tonight, getting ready for Earl). You don't want much to go bad. Then we tie up all the trash cans, secure grills, and hold on for dear life :)"

  • On American Tourist Kidnappings on the Rise in Mexico, Roger said "Better not to drive if you can travel by bus. Buses are not apt to be targets like cars with US plates that also can be stolen. The buses in Mexico are very comfortable like flying in a plane they often have movies and it is safer.Plan your trip and don't travel alone especially if you are female.Women traveling alone are a target Good luck and stay alert."
