You Can Rent Out This Entire Island in Italy for About $100 Per Person Each Night

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own island? How about a private island getaway for you and your close friends or family?

It’s not for sale, but if you’re looking to get away with a group of close friends, you can rent out the entire Island of Falconera in Venice Lagoon for about $100 PER PERSON.

Look at this place!

Image Credit: Airbnb

Anna, the Airbnb host, currently rents the island out for $112 a night for one or two people, but the island can accommodate up to 16 guests total.

If you can find 15 friends to bring along, the total cost of $774 per night divided by 16 comes out to just under $50 a night per person.

Image Credit: Airbnb

This private island is located next to Cavallino-Treporti, and can only be reached via an eight minute boat ride from Cavallino-Treporti Church, says hostess Anna.

The lodging provided is described as a “typical Venetian Farmhouse” complete with 6 private rooms (9 beds total), a shared kitchen and three shared bathrooms. There is also a spacious dining room and loft.

Image Credit: Airbnb

Although there is no Wifi to be found, guests have run of the entire island. Pictures posted on the Aibnb indicate there are ponies and dogs for guests to interact with, as well as plenty of island to explore.

Guest Xander says in his review of the island,

“The lodging itself was neat; historic in feel, right down to the squeaky floorboards…Their dogs were a lot of fun, and we enjoyed their homemade honey that they shared for breakfast…All things considered, if you can find a convenient way to travel there, if they’re not having a hot water issue, and if you either don’t mind bugs or just shut all the doors and windows, the day time was picturesque and like straight out a book.”

Image Credit: Airbnb

While it might have some rough edges, it’s still an island, and it’s still yours for the night!

One thing’s for sure, no matter what, you’ll have a truly unique experience and memory to share in the future.

Would you rent out Island Falconera? Who would you bring with you? Share your plans in the comments!

Avoid These Common Packing Mistakes for a Smoother Vacation

The most dreaded part of any vacation is always packing. From trying to stuff that extra pair of shoes in to figuring out a way to fit your laptop and electronics, packing a suitcase can be an exhausting and, frankly, emotionally draining effort.

Staying organized and practical are imperative in the suitcase stuffing packing process. But while we should strive for perfection, here are five common, easily avoidable suitcase packing mistakes that could turn your vacation into a messy disaster.

Overpacking

Having options is one thing, but bringing your entire wardrobe for a three-day cruise is just crazy.

Many people make the mistake of trying to fit too much in their suitcase; they simply get overwhelmed with trying to pick out the appropriate amount of clothing, shoes and accessories to bring on vacation.

The best way to avoid overpacking is to choose a few pairs of pants or shorts that are versatile enough to pair with a few more different tops. You could also opt for a color scheme that you want to coordinate throughout the trip.

Waiting Until The Last Minute

Procrastination doesn’t just apply to homework and cleaning the house.

Vacation-goers often wait till the night before (or sometimes the morning of) to take care of packing. According to Dacy Gillespie, a personal stylist, “You end up packing too many options and don’t have what you need.”

If you have to rush the packing process, you can often overlook important items or pack way too much out of desperation.

Never Fold When You Can Roll

 

Folding clothes may be the traditional way to do it, but you should really roll with the times.

When it comes to maximizing a small amount of space, rolling your clothes up is the clear-cut choice. Start by folding the article of clothing lengthwise before rolling it tighter than a Chipotle burrito.

Store heavier items along the bottom of your suitcase before layering in lighter items on top. You’ll thank me later…believe me.

Keep Your Toiletries Contained

Nothing is worse than opening up your suitcase only to find your favorite outfit ruined by an exploded shampoo bottle.

Toiletries like lotions, mouthwash, toothpaste and deodorant can easily spill inside your luggage (if you’re flying, remember: the cargo hold is unpressurized) and cause serious damage. Store all non-solids inside plastic bags to ensure your clothes are safe and your vacation will start off on the right foot.

Throwing Out Your Packing List

Organization is the key to packing, and writing everything down on a list can be a helpful strategy.

However, many travelers make the mistake of throwing out their packing list after the final zipper has been pulled. Instead, store your packing list inside your suitcase so that you can verify you have everything when you pack again at the conclusion of your trip.

Any other tips you’d recommend? Share them below!

A CEO Gives His Employees $2,000 to Go on Vacation and Says They’re More Productive Than Ever

This is pretty great.

Mark Douglas is the CEO of a marketing and advertising company called SteelHouse who has very specific rules when it comes to vacation time for his employees. No, he’s not cutting down on time off – he requires that his workers take vacation time, and he gives each employee a $2,000 bonus each year that they have to spend on their vacations.

How amazing is that?

Beautiful Beach

Douglas said, “It’s one thing to say ‘You have three weeks’ vacation,’ as most companies do. It’s another thing to say ‘You have cash, and if you don’t go on vacation and spend this money, the money literally goes to waste.’ It’s another level of saying this is real.”

Douglas also said that the bonus pays off. He says his workers are more productive than ever and that they “have virtually zero turnovers.” Douglas said that between 2013 and 2016, only 3 employees left out of a workforce of 250 people.

Speicher Durlaßboden - Austria

Douglas said there are five main reasons why he enacted the vacation policy:

1. It gives employees a chance to recharge.

2. It encourages team-building among staff members.

3. A give-and-take mindset gets the best out of people.

4. A good life-work balance attracts great employees.

5. Customers view the company’s dedication to its employees in a positive light.

Douglas added, “I think it’s important that everyone be able to essentially really, truly leave work.”

In addition to that nice perk, the entire SteelHouse company takes a 3-day weekend once a month.

Not too shabby, huh?

Taco Bell Has Plans to Open Up Its Own Resort in Palm Springs

Taco Bell fans, rejoice! It’s time to pack your bags and load up on hot sauce, because they just made a BIG announcement: Taco Bell will temporarily take over a resort in Palm Springs, California, giving fans a whole new level of Taco Bell experience.

I told you I wasn’t playing. I don’t joke about tacos, and I don’t joke about vacation. FYI.

The Bell will open on August 9, 2019, and will start taking reservations in June. The Taco Bell website says,

“Get ready for “Bell”hops and Baja Blasts, Fire Sauce and Sauce Packet floaties, because The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort is opening for a limited time in Palm Springs this August, meant for 18+ superfans. Complete with exclusive Taco Bell menu items and plenty of surprises, The Bell is sure to be the spicy twist of your summer. So pack your swimsuit, mark your calendars and start the countdown, because The Bell is about to make all of your taco dreams come true.”

There will also be a gift shop stocked with Taco Bell-themed clothing, naturally.

It’s still unclear how long the Taco Bell pop-up hotel will actually be open for, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see…

Well, I’ll see you in Palm Springs!
