In 2019, the famous Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios Hollywood became “Jurassic World: The Ride,” and with the revamp it became more frightening than ever before. It’s still the water-drenched ride it always was, but the redesign features even more dinosaurs, including the velociraptor Blue, not to mention a Chris Pratt cameo. Even if you’ve never watched “Jurassic World” or any of the original “Jurassic Park” installments (first of all, you should), then you’ll still get a thrill from being on a dinghy surrounded by eerily lifelike oversized reptiles....

Forget dreaming about moving to Europe — this Italian town will pay you to do it. The town of Presicce, located in the Puglia region, is the latest Italian destination to entice new residents with a few financial incentives. According to CNN, officials announced they are willing to pay people up to €30,000 (or just about $30,000) if they will commit to buying an empty house and live there permanently. The outlet added that the homes for sale were all built before 1991 and begin at 25,000 euros, meaning you could walk away with a rather cheap new abode, all thanks to the community’s new program dubbed “Welcome to Presicce-Acquarica....

We spend so much time on TikTok these days, it basically determines everything from what kind of coffee we’re drinking in the morning (Dalgona coffee, of course) to the couch in our living room to the way we deep clean our towels and sheets (because apparently that’s a thing!). But there are some TikTok finds that, while amazing, are a little out of our budget.

May I be frank for a moment? Packing is the worst. And this is especially true if you’re someone like me, who has an inexplicable aversion to folding and can never quite figure out how to fit everything into their rigid, undersized carry-on — because, If I’m being honest, I’m not trying to spend the extra money on checking a bag. Another important thing about me: I’m a notorious overpacker. So much so that I’ll irrationally fill my carry-on with “just in case” underwear, tops, jeans, socks, etc....
