Gifts That Travelers Actually Want<\/strong>
Yeah I know, every blogger and her brother does some kind of \u201cgifts for travelers\u201d post over the holidays, but these from me are different, promise. No aromatherapy candles or goops, just\u00a0items that will actually get used<\/a>\u00a0and some\u00a0under-$25 ones to consider<\/a>, including a few that we\u2019ve featured in this newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geography Misconceptions<\/strong>
Even the savviest world traveler will probably find a few beliefs upended in this beautiful\u00a0Misconceptions<\/a>\u00a0world map presentation. A few that might blow your mind: 1) All of South America is east of Jacksonville, FL. 2) The northern coast of Africa is at roughly the same latitude as Norfolk, VA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caravans of Americans Headed to Mexico<\/strong>
In a surprise to nobody except\u00a0news outlets<\/a>, the Mexican government noted that a record number of Americans applied for and received residency this year in the first nine months, up 85% over 2019. Putting the media chatter in perspective though, it was less than 9,000 people, which is probably Tuesday\u2019s customer count for a busy Mexico City taco stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saving the Planet by Train Trips<\/strong>
What if your travel choices had to be environmentally friendly? What if the answer to, \u201cI need to get there quickly\u201d was \u201cToo bad.\u201d? That question is now in the public discussion in France thanks to a\u00a0ban on short-haul flights<\/a>\u00a0designed to make you take the power-efficient train.<\/p>\n
