If money wasn’t an issue and I could choose my dream vacation, I’d probably pick one of these 5 travel retreats that cost more than an annual salary and I feel like my wallet just filed for emotional distress. I think any one of them would do.
If anyone with the budget can take me, I promise to bring the entertainment and pack light.
In today’s edition:
-
JetBlue offers spring break deals starting at 462
-
Tulum just got more luxe, and there’s a 25% deal to match
-
UFO tourism could be your next out-of-this-world getaway
-
Cheers,
Kaylen

New Report Shows UFO Tourism Is Growing |
|
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a drone... wait, nope, it’s a UFO, and apparently, it’s the latest travel trend! Extraterrestrial tourism is blasting off, with UFO sightings popping up more in the media. From quirky alien festivals to serious gatherings where enthusiasts share their knowledge, there are plenty of attractions and hotspots that cater to both the curious (that might be you) and the seasoned.
UFO attractions around the world
🇬🇧 England: The UFO Trail in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, was created after United States Air Force (USAF) personnel reported strange lights in the forest in the 1980s. The three-mile trail lets visitors explore the spot of the mysterious sightings at night or hike it during the day. It’s about a 2.5-hour drive from London if you want to squeeze in a day trip.
🇺🇸 Nevada: Home to Area 51 and the Extraterrestrial Highway, Nevada is a known spot among UFO conspiracy theorists. Locals believe the area holds crashed alien spacecraft and their occupants. The Little A'Le'Inn bar and restaurant is the go-to spot, offering UFO tours to Indian Petroglyphs and the Black Mailbox.
🇵🇪 Peru: The Nasca Lines in Peru are massive geoglyphs that some think were created as landing markers for aliens. AI recently uncovered more in the area. The best way to see them is from the air, with daily flights departing from Pisco Airport.
🇷🇴 Romania: The Hoia-Baciu Forest in Transylvania, known as Romania's Bermuda Triangle, has been the site of many paranormal occurrences. The forest's “dead zone” adds to the creepy vibe, making it a hotspot for UFO hunters.
Other spots, like McMinnville, Oregon, with its Alien Abduction 5K, and China, where a UFO-themed glass platform hangs off a cliff, are just a few examples of the many UFO attractions. If you're curious enough to explore and brave enough to get abducted, get after it!
