If you're looking to save on your next trip, here's a list of the 10 best low-cost airlines in the United States, known for their affordable prices, extensive routes, and in some cases, surprising services.

My experience looking for “pet-friendly” accommodation

Today I bring you what concerns my experience, a trip to the lake region in Asturias (Spain), with my dog ​​Max, a trip that showed me both how wonderful it can be to explore new places with your pet, and how important it is to plan every detail well when traveling with them.
