Major cities are not alone in feeling the effects of climate change. Small vacation towns are starting to get the brunt of sea-level rise—as evidenced by one home listing in Nantucket, Massachusetts.  In September 2023, a three-bedroom, two-bath waterfront home in Nantucket—a “beautiful seaside retreat” as described by the sellers—was listed at $2.3 million.

But after a few months on the market, the price plummeted a whopping 74% to just $600,000—well below…

Posted: 3/28/2024 | March 28th, 2024 Milan is a popular destination for travelers who are into fashion and design. But there’s a lot of history and culture here too. The city was both the former capital of the Western Roman Empire and influential during the Italian Renaissance. I consider it a must-visit stop on any trip around Italy. As the country’s second largest city (over 6 million people live here), where you stay during your visit will have a big impact on your trip.
