]]>Most of us who played with Polly Pocket toys or watched others do it always wondered how it would feel to live inside one of those houses. Thanks to the rental platform Airbnb, we can now actually experience this.
Airbnb recently listed a life-sized Polly Pocket house on their platform. It is a vintage-themed, two-story Slumber Party Fun compact located in Littleton, Massachusetts. It features a retro fridge full of snacks, Polly’s closet featuring her iconic outfits and accessories, and numerous other surprises.
Polly Pocket fans can book one of three one-night stays, which will take place from September 12 to 14. A night costs $89 per person, which is a nod to Polly’s official first release in 1989, with a minimum of four guests per booking. In order to book a stay, potential guests must submit a request by August 28.
For all of those who potentially miss out on spending the night in Polly Pocket house, Airbnb will organize daytime adventures. There will be a total of “21 experiences for up to 12 guests” available from September 16 to October 6.
Make sure not to miss this unique opportunity and book a stay or daytime experience right away.

]]>TikTok content creator Malia Makaila recently shared a video in which she documented how this popular travel hack ruined her flight. It turned out that a couple tried to pull off a “middle seat trick,” but Makaila ended up sitting between them. After their plan was spoiled, the couple decided to be quite rude about it.
“They’re just passing chips and drinks over me, having a full conversation; meanwhile, the guy in front of me pushed his seat so far back I can’t open my laptop, and the WiFi doesn’t work,” Makaila explained in the text written across the clip that shows how couple is ignoring that she is there.
The video ended up quickly spreading across social media, with TikTokers chiming in on the situation in the comments section. The majority of them criticized the couple while being surprised with how Makaila managed to remain calm and collected in this type of situation.
“girl, you are too nice,” @vyzzzzy wrote in the comments section.
One social media user admitted using the travel hack but said that they always try to be polite if it fails.
“I’m a wife that buys a window seat for me and an aisle for my husband. Suppose the middle seat is bought I never make the person sit between us. I always offer the window seat to them,” @melissaflynnaxel shared.
What about you? How would you react in a situation like this?

]]>Kauai was born and raised in Hawaiʻi, and her approach to travel is inspired by the island culture she grew up in. She’s now a successful Instagram influencer with 1.2 million followers under her belt, but getting there hasn’t been easy.
?? Adventure Travel (@chelseakauai)The life she thought she was going to live fell apart after she dropped out of architecture school, and she did everything from selling jewelry to working at a grocery store before finding her path.
“At the time my life felt like a failure – a former academic high achiever who fell off the wagon somewhere. I knew I wanted the freedom to create my own hours, to spend time outside, and to impact the world in a positive way,” she wrote on her official website.
Despite feeling lost, she kept focusing on her passions, such as diving, hiking, and sharing photos from her adventures on social media. As the power of social media started growing, so did Kauai’s Instagram page, and her side hustle eventually became a full-time job. She went on to collaborate with many major brands over the years, and she’s using her platform to promote the art of mindful, eco-friendly travel.

]]>Monga was no stranger to hopping from place to place long before she became a travel blogger. Her father used to work in the military so she spent most of her childhood moving around, switching between ten schools and multiple cities outside and within India.
She traveled even more while at university and started writing her travel blog while working a full-time job. She took a lot of workcations during this time, everywhere from Goa to Sri Lanka and Thailand, but struggled to find the balance before she decided to quit her job at LinkedIn.
This was the best decision she could’ve made because her follower count kept growing once she had enough time on her hands to immerse herself in new cultures and experiences full-time. Monga’s videos are extremely popular with women dreaming of exploring the world on their own, and she’s hoping she’ll inspire others to step outside their comfort zone and break the invisible barriers that surround us.

]]>Major-Moss found herself in a pretty dark place before becoming a travel influencer with over 170,000 Instagram followers under her belt. She lost her job, her relationship, and herself, but traveling helped her find her way back to things she really wanted to do.
After several solo trips across Asia, her online platform started growing and she later managed to turn it into a full-time career. She connected with a lot of solo travelers while staying at hostels, but her content is much different these days, and she’s using her platform to promote lavish hotels around the world.
Despite her success, Major-Moss has always been open about the fact that traveling solo isn’t a bundle of roses, especially for women of color.
“You have to stay vigilant and make smart decisions. I have definitely had frightening and uncomfortable situations. But I think it’s really important to get comfortable being uncomfortable, it encourages you to grow and open your mind to new and amazing experiences,” she writes on her official website.

]]>Back in 2021, Chris and Sam bought an old Volkswagen van and spent 10 months rebuilding it into a home on wheels. Once their motorhome was finished, they quit their jobs and hit the road. Their first trip included an odyssey through Central Europe and included France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, and Italy, among other countries.
In February this year, the couple’s wanderlust took them to Scandinavia with the goal of seeing the Arctic Circle. They passed through Sweden and Finland before reaching Norway and are now on their way to the North Cape, the farthest point of the country they are able to reach with their motorhome.
“For us, we have never seen snow like this in all our lives. I’m talking seven foot of show outside right, with temperatures dropping to -23 degrees,” Chris shared in a chat with SWNS. “The weather has definitely tested the van properly being up here, but we still haven’t broken down, and the vastness of the wilderness all around us is breathtaking and unreal.”
Chris and Sam have been documenting their journey on social media, sharing clips and photos of astonishing destinations they have visited. Check out more of the footage from their Arctic Circle adventure below.

]]>Armagan is a self-taught artist based in Istanbul and he was studying the Turkish language at Istanbul University when he embarked on this journey. Traveling the world wasn’t something he could afford back in the day, so he initially only drew landmarks of Istanbul on coffee cups.
“I hadn’t got enough money to travel the world so one day I hit one very good idea. I’ve started to draw on cups that people were throwing away to garbage. Apart from traveling the world, I have many projects to fill the cups with!” Armagan told Bored Panda.
Armagan’s first project “Cups of Istanbul” is now many years behind him, and he visited 27 countries and 70 cities around the world in the meantime. He’s followed by over 100,000 people on Instagram and went on to collaborate with such brands as Michelin and Starbucks, in addition to selling his paper cups.

]]>The post Danielle and Tommy Make the Case for RV Travel appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Travel bloggers Danielle and Tommy know best. The full-time travelers have embraced the RV lifestyle and have been living on the road since 2016. Having traveled for some four years, alongside their two dogs, Missy and Trip, the couple’s RV travels have taken them to almost all of the lower 48 states in the United States, all over Canada, and up and down Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.
“First, came finding the perfect [for us] home-on-wheels,” they recall the process on their personal website. “Several months scouring the internet went by, we toured and test drove a few different Toyota’s—until we found our RV located just outside of Seattle, Washington.” They then ended their lease, sold all of their furniture, packed light, and were headed towards the east coast where they would renovate and rebuild the RV.
Their website and Instagram include before-and-after photos of their RV renovation, as well as documentation from life on the road. “We’ve learned so much from our time on the road,” write the seasoned travelers, “and have both grown so much from this entire experience. From learning how to DIY our RV renovation, to learning how to create multiple streams of income to sustain our lifestyle. It’s not always easy or beautiful, but life was meant to be an adventure!”
You’d want to follow them around, at least on Instagram…

]]>However, when we finally do return to our favorite pastime, we already have a tour guide in mind. Travel blogger Liz Carlson lives up to her online moniker—the Young Adventuress. With more than a decade of traveling under her belt—and most of it alone—Carlson encourages other women to try independent traveling.
Young Adventuress (@youngadventuress)In fact, she even has a blog post, scratch that—a manifesto—about it. “Without sounding incredibly cheesy, I think my happiest moments are when I get emails and messages from readers asking advice about traveling the world, alone, female or otherwise,” says Carlson.
The first thing you should take in mind is that it’s not half as scary as you might think. “For the number of times I legitimately felt in danger, I can give you 1000 examples of beautiful, friendly, and unique moments that surprised me to no end while traveling,” she writes.
With more than 200k followers on Instagram, people are clearly taking note.
