Southeast Asia: November–February is dry and cooler, great for Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia. March–May gets hot; June–October brings monsoon rains.
East Asia (Japan, Korea, China): March–May for cherry blossoms and pleasant temps, or October–November for crisp autumn colors.
South Asia (India, Sri Lanka): November–March is cooler and drier. April–June is very hot, and monsoon season runs June–September.
Come for the architecture, stay for the view.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross has been built into Sedona’s red rocks since 1956. The outside overlooks get busy, but inside is quiet, with huge windows framing the rocks. It’s free, takes 30-45 minutes, and has a paved, wheelchair-accessible ramp. Make sure to bring water in summer.
Save this for your trip planning!
Order it well done. Trust me.🍑🍕
Peach & Pancetta Pizza at Hideaway House in Sedona: roasted peaches, salty pancetta, ricotta, basil, extra-crispy crust. Split the house salad, grab a prickly pear lemonade, and get a patio table facing the red rocks. Skip the bread if you want room for another slice.
Save this for your Sedona trip✈️
Pack your bags, Denver is not just a mountain layover. RiNo alone can eat a full day between the murals, food, and bars. Skip the concert and hit Red Rocks midday instead, you’ll basically have it to yourself. Golden’s a 30-minute trip if you want a change of pace, and if food drives your travel like it does mine, Denver Central Market and BRUTØ deserve real time on the calendar. Give it three days minimum, four if you’re eating your way through it. Save this.
Stayed at The Maven in Denver’s Dairy Block and the location alone sold me, walking distance to Union Station and most of downtown, string lights right outside at night. The room was spacious and quiet, even had a swing in it. Real talk though, there’s a $28 daily resort fee and parking isn’t cheap, valet ran us $59 a day. Bed was a little firm, but that’s the only complaint I’ve got. Save this before you book.
Four Denver dinners, four totally different nights out. 🍽️
BRUTØ is the Michelin splurge, fermentation-heavy tasting menu, priciest of the bunch, and I still think about it. Tavernetta is the classic pick, warm and polished with focaccia that lives up to the hype. Corsica is my actual favorite: French-Italian small plates, best value by far, the one I’d rebook every time. Hop Alley keeps it laid-back with RiNo energy and shareable plates that hit way harder than the vibe suggests.
Save this before your next Denver trip.✈️
