I have a problem with AI travel advice. Not the “it’s a useful tool” problem — the “I just watched it recommend a bus that hasn’t run since 2024” problem. I can’t relax into a trip if I suspect the plan I’m following was generated from a blog post someone…

The Riviera only feels chaotic if you visit the towns in the wrong order. I learned this the hard way. My mistake looked like this: I left Nice for Monaco around 11:00 AM (exactly when cruise passengers are flooding the streets). It felt chaotic, so I headed back to Nice…
I fell in love with Menton during my visit. So I did what I do: researched it obsessively, looking for the perfect month to visit it. With spreadsheets. Why? Because every travel guide says the same vague thing: “Visit April to October!” That’s like saying “eat food when you’re hungry”…
