Chasing Windmills in Zaanse Schans
I've met two big goals already for 2022 — getting published in Fodor's Travel a few weeks ago and now in Conde Nast Traveler.
In my first piece for Conde Nast Traveler, I draw on my recent cruising experiences and round up the best cruise lines for solo travelers. And in case you haven't been following along on Instagram, I absolutely love floating down a scenic river in my very own cruise cabin.
Meanwhile, on Travel with Meena, I reveal what may be the most welcoming town I've ever encountered and take you on three perfect day trips from Amsterdam.
If you're planning to travel soon, here's what you need to know:
New Zealand plans to open its borders on July 31.
Japan plans to reopen its borders sometime in June.
Beginning May 16, face masks are no longer required on board flights or in airports in Europe.
Is there a dreamy Dutch day trip I missed? Tell me where I should go next!

🛎️ Hotel deals aren't so easy to come by these days, but if you're willing to leave the kids at home, you may be in luck. Several all-inclusive adults-only beach escapes are currently on sale.
✈️ Here's a way to save on your flights and earn your preferred frequent flyer miles. Fly from New York, Denver, New Orleans or Houston to sunny Panama City for under $300 roundtrip on Copa Airlines, American Airlines, Delta or United.
🥐 Everything may be getting more expensive, but there are some things you can still get for free. In my first article for Fodor's Travel, I share the secret to visiting the top museums in Paris for free.
