Goodbye Point Princess
It seems the Point Princess blog is being retired and its author is moving in a new direction with a different site:
http://pointprincess.boardingarea.co...oint-princess/
http://pointprincess.boardingarea.co...oint-princess/
I am very excited to announce that even though Point Princess is retiring, I will be continuing to blog at carolinelupini.com! I will still be frequently writing about travel, occasionally writing about points and miles, and will throw in other topics as I feel like it.

When I click on the link in the OP, it seems to go to a valid url address, but the page is blank.
Who is the Point Princess? I never heard of that blog.

She's a bit like Lucky was a few years back; a wide-eyed student frequent traveler.
Difference is, she TRAVELS. She focuses on both the getting there but also the being there. I've enjoyed following her adventures both on her blog and on the face book.
And apparently hit the burnout point recently.

The OPs link is doing some redirect to http://www.carolinelupini.com/2015/0...oint-princess/
Web archive reveals more:
- her blog was on F2B in 2013: https://web.archive.org/web/20130607.../pointprincess
- moved to BArea/P2B in Summer 2014: https://web.archive.org/web/20140805...rdingarea.com/
Now it all moved to http://www.carolinelupini.com/

I've enjoyed reading Caroline's writing but felt like the Point Princess brand didn't fit her style very well, she wrote more maturely than that. Looking forward to her new blog and wish her nothing but massive success.

I think the word you're looking for is EXPLORES. because someone like Lucky could fly to BKK, stay there for 5 days but not really leave the hotel much. and that's still traveling, considered a trip, even a vacation (staycation)
