The healing powers of hot springs and thermal baths have been used for thousands of years. From the Romans and Egyptians to modern day European bathhouses and Japanese Onsen, cultures from all around the world agree: hot baths are bliss. And after our first visit to Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, which is a short drive south of Reykjavik (pictured above), we totally agree. Not content with just one, we’ve made our own bucket list of bathing spots around the world, and hope it brings inspiration to those of you with a soft-spot for a good soak.
When the hardest decision you have to make is whether to sunbathe, swim, eat, sip mojitos water or wander cobblestone streets, you might actually be in heaven. Or you may just be island hopping along the Croatian Coast on a superyacht bigger than your house.
As a super savvy traveler, you’ll probably have all the obvious travel apps littering your smartphone screen. But you might not be so well acquainted with a few of the healthier options out there. What I refer to as my essential apps for healthy travelers. Want to book a yoga class in a foreign city? There’s an app for that. Looking for vegan, GF noms nearby? Yep, there’s an app for that too. Or want to know the best strategies for avoiding jet lag once you arrive at your holiday destination? Yep, there’s even an app for that.
