If you’ve searched flights from the US to Morocco, you’ve likely encountered Royal Air Maroc (RAM). And, if you’re like me, you may have wondered if you should book with an airline you haven’t heard of before. Here’s the thing: If you’re headed to Morocco, there’s a good chance you’ll end up onboard a RAM flight.
The government-run airline has been around for more than 60 years, and connects its hub of Casablanca with destinations like Washington, DC, Montreal, and Miami (plus, western African c…

“My wife, Victoria, and I went on a Buddhist pilgrimage this past winter. We wanted to go to Bodh Gaya, in Northeast India, to see the Mahabodhi Temple, where Buddha originally sat under the Bodhi tree and attained enlightenment. It was New Year’s Day, and we got to the temple right when it opened at 5 a.m. A lot of people spend time making circumambulations, where you walk clockwise around the temple. We did that and meditated within the temple complex. I only practice Tibetan Buddhism, so it w…

When the founder of Buenos Aires’ most celebrated restaurant, Don Julio, invites you to spend a few days eating with him, you go. That’s how Mexican chef Elena Reygadas found herself in Argentina last August. “Pablo [Rivera] told me, You don’t have to cook, but I want you to see our most important day—the carneada,” says Reygadas. “It’s when he and his partner Guido [Tassi] kill the pigs and make salami for their restaurant, but it’s also a party for the people they love.”
The day began at a far…

Oofos shoes challenge everything I thought I believed about comfort. Like most travelers who love spending hours traipsing around new cities—I have many times chosen to climb the steep, cobblestoned streets of Bairro Alto in Lisbon instead of taking a taxi, and consider walking the entire length of Central Park an ideal afternoon activity—I have to think about what’s practical, and not going to hurt my feet 10 minutes into a 4-hour jaunt. But you won’t see me Googling “comfortable walking shoes”…

“They say you can hear the northern lights crackle. Even after years of living amongst them, I’ve only heard it once,” says Dave Daley, a long-distance dog sledder and Métis tour guide based in Churchill, Canada. He was 250 miles north of home when it happened, crossing the Hudson Bay as his dogs stopped to look at the display, spanning shades of pink, green, and white. “The lights made a wall in front of us, and for 10 minutes we were in a trance. Why did they appear at this moment? It was my a…

When I first stepped into Snow Peak’s Williamsburg store, I knew this wasn’t the rickety, mismatched camping gear I’d grown up with. As I pawed through racks of quilted jackets and pants, in shades of ivory and denim blue, and poked my head into a campground setup where everything boasted clean, taut lines, and gleaming titanium details (these pieces were sturdy), I found myself yearning for the simplicity of the outdoors—well, the simplicity I would be afforded by having this entire, gleaming c…

Best known in Phnom Penh as Chef Nak, Rotanak Ros has spent over a decade traveling around Cambodia, recovering, preserving, and spotlighting traditional Khmer recipes. The richness of the region’s cuisine, which she says comprises “at least a thousand dishes” from over a thousand years of history, collides in one place: her hometown of Phnom Penh (say it: “pa-nom penn”). “This is not just the hub for art or culture,” says Ros. “This is the place where everyone comes for a better life—and when t…

Jimmy Kimmel may get a bicoastal rep for being born in Brooklyn and now calling Los Angeles home—but he spent his formative years in Sin City, and he’ll wax poetic about Las Vegas any chance he gets.
“I really love the old Vegas stuff,” says Kimmel. Steakhouses, throwback casinos, magic shows—you name it, he’s there. “Every time I go to Las Vegas, oh my God, there’s six things I wanted to do that I didn’t get to.” Perhaps it’s no surprise the late-night host even has his own comedy joint in the…

Top Chef-famous Gregory Gourdet may be known for the Haitian flavors he serves at his restaurant Kann in Portland, Oregon; or the pan-Asian cuisine at Departure, in Portland and Denver, where he worked prior to that. But Spanish cuisine has a special hold on him.
“The last place I worked in New York City was Mercat, which was a Catalan restaurant on Bond Street,” says Gourdet. “I worked there…

The joy of spending the weekend in a city like Toronto is that you’re going to be out all day long. There are fantastic restaurants; cool shopping streets; and a generally walkable heart of the city where you can bop from museums to vintage stores to Portuguese bakeries without missing a beat.
In looking for a place to stay, then, I’ve come to realize over repeat visits that there is one obvious route for me. There are great hotels (like the one-year-old Ace Hotel Toronto), but prices start arou…

As a region, the Americas have been especially hard hit by COVID-19, from the U.S. and Mexico down to Brazil. But in North America, things have been quicker to return to a sense of normalcy; stateside, vaccine rollout has been swift compared with much of the world, and American travelers are starting to plan trips abroad. Meanwhile, South American countries including Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia are continuing to grapple with the threat of the virus, with hot spots persisting. Peru, for examp…
