As an active traveler I’m constantly pulling muscles, carrying far too heavy packs on my back, and dealing with stiffness from failed attempts to sleep on a plane. And if I haven’t got sore feet from exploring, it hasn’t been a successful day!
So I’m now a big fan of massage guns, which saves a ton of money on spa treatments while traveling, especially since physical therapists like Bob & Brad have an excellent compact, portable range.
While the smallest massage gun I’ve found to date is the Bob & Brad Q2 Mini Massage Gun, which ranks as a personal favorite, their next massage gun up is the C2. With more power than the Q2, and a bigger body, though still incredibly compact and lightweight, the C2 massage gun is also a fabulous choice. Here is our review.

Land based casinos used to be some of the biggest tourist draws for a country, with whole cities like Las vegas and Macau popping up in the middle of otherwise barren deserts, solely to meet the tourist demand. Though nowadays the online world is challenging the traditional land based experience, and you can cozy up in a luxury hotel room for the same type of thrills.
Live casinos is a relatively new form of gambling which is a hybrid of online gaming and a land based experience; you don’t have to visit the physical site and can log in from your device, though it’s still played with real life dealers, against other real life humans, and the action takes place in real time.
So you could be in Sydney, while playing in Vegas, without having had to pay for (or sit through!) the flight!
If you’re considering trying your luck at a live casino while traveling, or joining a live casino in another country, from home, here are some of our winning tips and secrets.

When it comes to travel essentials, you might not think a massage gun makes the cut. I mean, it definitely makes the ‘nice to have’ list, but is it up there with your passport, phone, and wallet?

Fact: Massage guns facilitate recovery. And wouldn’t it be great to treat every single muscle group for immediate pain relief while traveling, instead of having to ‘walk it off’ the next day?

Mirrors are essential in any hotel, but maybe no mirror is more vital than a full-length mirror. It’s something every traveler looks for once they check-in, and, let’s be honest, it’s inconvenient to dress when you have to rely on a half-mirror that barely reaches your waist.
Here’s where the most incredible total-length standing mirror comes in. They not only enhance the guest experience, but also make it easier for travelers to take, share, and tag you in gorgeous OOTD photos!

Are you planning to work or live in another country? If yes, then you might be thinking about whether hiring an immigration lawyer is best for you.
Moving to another country can be a tough experience, especially as you often have to go through the complex immigration rules and laws which you may find difficult to settle by yourself. Immigration can entail plenty of paperwork and an in-depth understanding of the procedural bureaucracy of the country you’re moving into. So it’s not uncommon if you don’t want to go through alone.
It’s important to note that the smallest of mistakes in your application can result in unfavorable circumstances such as denials, years-long delays, or even deportation. This makes it a significant challenge for overseas nationals who don’t know anything about immigration regulations.

The United States is one of the best roadtripping countries in the world, with epic drives like the Pacific Coast Highway, Route 66, and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
