Got a limited amount of vacation time? Want to have the perfect post-pandemic trip? Or just don’t want to waste your dollars? We’ve all taken a trip that hasn’t turned out as we’d planned.

You know the one, where you get to the destination and hate every morsel of food, or you don’t feel safe going to the local market alone, or the beach is covered in trash. Well, hopefully, you haven’t had all of those situations happen at once.
