(CNN) — In travel news this week: a behind-the-scenes look at a “White Lotus” resort, the best places to retire in 2026, plus tips on avoiding vacation stress.

Starting over

Greece was recently named the world’s best place to retire for 2026, according to an annual index by International Living. Panama and Costa Rica ranked second and third on the list and are particularly popular with North Americans.

However, the grass isn’t necessarily greener abroad. Navigating foreign tax systems and bank accounts can be particularly confusing. CNN spoke to a few experts who have done it and learned a few hard lessons along the way. Watch their tips in the video above.

Finally, here are a couple of real-life stories of people who made the leap, one to Europe and one to Asia.

New Jersey native Barbara Olpinski moved from Chicago to Poland in 2020, but struggled to adapt to her husband’s home country. “I cried copious tears,” she tells CNN, and she was worried she’d never fit in. However, she took up a new hobby which helped with the transition.

Victoria Kjos, in her 70s, moved to Bali in 2022 after becoming disillusioned with her life in the US. She tells CNN that she immediately felt “very comfortable” there and loved the province’s “calm energy.” However, she says she made a lot of “missteps” when it came to finding somewhere to live: Here’s what she learned.

Lives of the rich and luxurious

If you’re seeking a less permanent life change, perhaps a brief trip into the giddy heights of luxury might tempt you.

Season three of HBO’s “The White Lotus” was filmed at several hotels in Thailand, including the Anantara Mai Khao Phuket. CNN Travel’s Karla Cripps visited earlier this year and took us on a quick tour.

Magnificently grand yachts are the latest big thing in the luxury hotel space, with the Ritz-Carlton, the Four Seasons, Orient Express and Aman all competing with launches on the high seas.

“We are introducing people to cruising that would never have considered it,” Tina Edmundson, president of luxury for Marriott International, tells CNN of the boutique-style offerings that are at the other end of the scale from the boom in super-sized cruise ships.

Aviation innovations

In 1982, Air Florida Flight 90 crashed at Washington National Airport, exposing the dangers of ice accumulation when flying in winter. It was a tragic event that changed how US airlines deal with freezing conditions.

CNN’s Alexandra Skores went behind the scenes and under the planes at Chicago O’Hare to see how specialized deicer crews keep passengers safe.

Dulles International, outside Washington DC, was supposed to be the airport of the future when it opened in the 1960s. It was the first US airport to be built for the jet age and its iconic mobile lounges, or people-movers, are what has made Dulles unique. After 60 years of operation, however, Dulles International regularly makes it onto “worst airport” lists, with President Trump recently describing it as “terrible.” Here’s the story of how the innovation that made it so original would also make it so unpopular.

Mientras los investigadores trabajan para encontrar un motivo detrás del tiroteo masivo en la Universidad de Brown y el asesinato de un reconocido profesor del MIT, excompañeros del presunto asesino lo describen como un estudiante brillante pero excepcionalmente difícil.

Claudio Neves Valente, el sospechoso de 48 años que, según la Policía, fue hallado muerto el jueves de un disparo autoinfligido, era un estudiante destacado, pero de personalidad conflictiva en su Portugal natal, recordaron excompañeros el viernes.

Neves Valente estudió en el Instituto Superior Técnico junto con Nuno Loureiro, el profesor del MIT a quien ahora se le acusa de haber matado a tiros. La escuela confirmó a CNN que ambos hombres fueron estudiantes allí entre 1995 y 2000 y que Neves Valente estudió una licenciatura en Ingeniería Física Tecnológica.

Ese curso estaba lleno de estudiantes talentosos, recordó el compañero de clase Felipe Moura, pero Neves Valente se destacaba, para bien y para mal.

“Claudio era obviamente uno de los mejores, pero en clase tenía una gran necesidad de sobresalir y demostrar que era mejor que los demás”, escribió Moura en portugués en una publicación de Facebook.

“La actitud de Claudio era desagradable”, continuó, discutiendo a menudo con “colegas a quienes no consideraba tan brillantes como él (y que probablemente no lo eran)”, escribió. “Eran peleas totalmente innecesarias, que no ayudaban en nada a la clase”.

Moura, quien ahora enseña en una universidad de Lisboa, no respondió a los mensajes de CNN. Un excompañero, quien pidió no ser citado por su nombre, confirmó que la cuenta de Facebook de Moura era auténtica.

En una entrevista con Público, un periódico de Portugal, Moura reiteró sus impresiones de Neves Valente como un compañero agresivo.

“Tenía una personalidad confrontacional en clase. Es decir, los otros buenos estudiantes intervenían, hacían preguntas, [pero] a Claudio le gustaba decir que él era el que sabía”, dijo Moura al periódico.

Nuno Morais, otro compañero de clase, dijo a Público que Neves Valente y Loureiro estaban entre los mejores estudiantes de la escuela, pero que sus personalidades eran radicalmente diferentes.

“Claudio era uno de los estudiantes con las mejores notas del curso. Era mucho más teórico”, dijo Morais al periódico. “Nuno también era buen estudiante, destacaba menos en cuanto a calificaciones, pero era una persona más relajada y parecía tener aptitudes para materias un poco más aplicadas”.

Tras graduarse en Portugal, Neves Valente ingresó a la Universidad de Brown en 2000 como estudiante de posgrado en Física, pero no terminó el programa. Moura comentó que mantuvo contacto con Neves Valente en ese periodo y notó que, una vez más, estaba en conflicto con otros estudiantes.

“En ese momento intercambié muchos correos electrónicos con él y vi que mantenía la misma actitud —como él me contaba— de mantener conflictos innecesarios con compañeros de doctorado en clase, a quienes nuevamente consideraba mucho menos capaces que él”, escribió Moura en Facebook. “Se notaba que no estaba disfrutando su estancia en la Universidad de Brown”.

Scott Watson, compañero en Brown, dijo que Valente era “socialmente torpe” y que se convirtió en su único amigo en la universidad. Tenía dificultades en EE.UU., quejándose amargamente de que las clases no eran desafiantes y de que la comida era mala, recordó Watson.

“Decía que las clases eran demasiado fáciles—honestamente, para él lo eran. Ya conocía la mayor parte del material y era realmente impresionante”, dijo Watson, ahora profesor en la Universidad de Syracuse, en una declaración compartida con CNN.

Watson dijo que Valente podía ser “amable y gentil”, pero que también era volátil.

“A menudo se frustraba—y a veces se enojaba—por los cursos, los profeso
