The safest Caribbean islands: Where to visit for your next beachy vacation

Enjoy a safe, stress-free vacation on these gorgeous islands

Antigua

If you’ve been dreaming of sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, but recent travel advisories for places like Belize and Jamaica have you second-guessing your trip, you’re not alone. Safety is a top concern for many travelers (myself included), and no one wants to spend their vacation worrying about crime or security risks.

However, there are still plenty of Caribbean destinations where you can relax without too much concern. And some of the best Caribbean islands also happen to be the safest, so you don’t have to make any compromises when planning your travels. These are the safest Caribbean islands where you can kick back and enjoy paradise, stress-free.

Cleveland isn’t getting the credit it deserves — why it should be on your radar

Cleveland is cooler than you think -- here’s what to do

Cleveland

Let’s be honest -- Cleveland doesn’t always top the list of must-visit destinations, but that’s exactly why it should be on yours. I’d heard whispers for years about how underrated this city is, so I finally decided to check it out for myself. And let me tell you, the hype is real.

Now, I won’t lie, Cleveland greeted us with an arctic blast, temperatures well below 0ºF, and a wind chill that made us question all our life choices. But we still had a great time enjoying this Midwest destination. That says a lot about a city.

You can now ride in driverless Ubers in this U.S. city

Uber partners with Waymo to bring driverless rides to Austin

Uber

Austin just took a big leap into the future of transportation. Uber has partnered with Waymo to bring fully autonomous rides to the Texas capital, giving riders the chance to experience a driverless trip in an all-electric Jaguar I-PACE.

Uber users in Austin requesting an UberX, Uber Green, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric ride can now opt in for a potential match with a Waymo self-driving vehicle at no extra cost. Waymo currently operates in Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Miami, with plans to expand to Atlanta later this year.
