Island Urban Chic and Beaches This is the Santo Domingo Experience
Can you name the largest city in the Caribbean? It’s not San Juan, Havana, or Kingston. It’s an often-overlooked municipality in an often-overlooked country: Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic.
Many visitors skip right over this city of 1.5 million and fly into Punta Cana, which is the gateway to the country’s eastern resorts. This is a shame, because while the city can be a little challenging (starched and pressed Nassau, it is not), Santo Domingo offers some of the best dining, nightlife, and sightseeing in the West Indies.

Ethical Travel in the Digital Age
Talk about a buzzkill.
I’m in the middle of a trip to the Dominican Republic. It’s a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex-themed trip, part of a program called Tolerance Through Tourism. The idea is that by simply being an openly gay person and traveling in the developing world, you help people living in traditionally homophobic cultures to see that LGBTQI people are not so strange.

Orlando’s Unexpected Pleasures
Orlando looms large in the national conscience, attracting an outsized number of visitors every year—depending on who’s counting, it’s sometimes ranked as the most-visited U.S. city, and it’s always right there in the conversation with New York and Los Angeles.
What makes Orlando different from those places, though, is that while people visit New York for its sightseeing and cultural offerings, and are attracted to LA by an expectation of tasting the sunny lifestyle that is so much a part of the city’s character, Orlando is best known for what’s most unreal about it.
