If you haven’t heard of Bimini, you’re not alone. This tiny Bahamian island — the closest to the United States, just 48 miles off the coast of Miami — has long been an under-the-radar spot known mostly to avid fishermen who come for big game like marlin and tuna, or for the bonefishing on the shallow flats between North and South Bimini. One such fisherman is a guy you’ve definitely heard of, Ernest Hemingway, who called Bimini home between 1935 and 1937 (his time here inspired The Old Man and the Sea). Prior to Hemingway’s residency, Bimini was a popular hideaway during Prohibition, given its proximity to America and lack of alcohol restrictions, and was once believed to be home to The Fountain of Youth (Ponce de Leon came here searching for it in 1513).

After visiting 30 tropical islands, some of my favorites have been Bora Bora, St. Barts, Curaçao, Barbados, and St. Martin.

I've been to 30 tropical islands. From Bora Bora to Barbados, here are the top 5 I'd visit again.

I grew up in the 1990s; we didn’t have Photoshop to edit our pictures. We didn’t have social media. I mean, we didn’t even have the internet for half of that time! So as a pre-teen, I was definitely less self-aware than, for instance, my 10-year-old daughter is. The way appearance was talked about when I was growing up was more to do with looking presentable, smart and taking pride in yourself. For my parents’ generation, it was a matter of self-respect; my mum wouldn’t have left the house without makeup on.

Vietnam has been touted as being one of the cheapest destinations in the world in 2024, but it's so much more than simply a bargain bucket list check. While, yes, Vietnam is decidedly an inexpensive destination, you'll come away feeling rich in cultural experiences and the interactions you have with friendly locals. Whether you're marching your way across the country by rail on the famed Reunification Express or discovering the lesser known hidden gem of Vietnam's southern islands, you'll be wowed at the value for money in this beautiful country.

One Of The Cheapest Travel Destinations In The World Is A Tourist-Friendly, Tropical Paradise

If you're traveling around eastern Australia and you're looking for something new to explore off the main continent, a flight of about two-and-a-half hours from Brisbane will take you to a pristine island in the South Pacific that has a fascinating history, some shockingly beautiful beaches, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the ruins of a penal colony. Welcome to Norfolk Island, a gorgeous spot in Australian territory that was once home to Polynesian settlers who left in the 16th century, and where Captain Cook landed in 1774. (You can still visit his lookout point.)

Every summer, that classic debate arises: Are hot dogs or hamburgers the ideal grilling staple? We all have our preferences — and may even change our minds year-to-year — but as much as these friendly arguments might divide us, everyone can agree that baked beans are the perfect pairing for any cookout dish. The sweet-savory flavor complements every element of a standard grilling spread — smoky meats, earthy grilled veggies, punchy fruit salad — and completes the quintessential summer plate. And though hot dogs and hamburgers both predate the Good Housekeeping seal, its 115th anniversary year would not be complete without a backyard barbecue featuring another centenarian brand: Bush's Beans.
