Smartphones are a modern-day traveler’s Swiss Army knife, taking on multiple roles as we prepare, pack, and embark on trips. They are our ticket holders and booking concierge; our pocket maps and our tour guides. They send postcards home to family and take field notes of what we see. They carry our library of music, movies, and books without adding any weight to our luggage. Smartphones act as a mobile office in a pinch and allow us to attend work meetings from anywhere. And (though this feat...

We identified her look as this long-sleeved crew neck maxi dress by Bleusalt, an environmentally responsible California-based brand, which currently retails for $220. But here’s a...

On a recent trip to Paris, I watched a gentleman disembark my train car at Gare de Lyon with a black American Tourister suitcase and thought, “Huh, would you look at that — I have the same luggage.” Turns out, it was my luggage.
What ensued was a poorly translated panic attack between me and the station police about my stolen bag. In the end, the luggage nab was just a mistake, and I was reunited with my bag the next morning, but the whole situation got me researching ways to keep my luggage ...

By the time they opened SHF to the public two years later, they had already tested 10 southern highbush blueberry varieties for yield, disease resistance, and taste. The Emerald berry, for instance, is firm, delicately sweet, and as wide as a bottle cap. Just pop it in your mouth. Yum! Jewel, with its fruity tang, works wel...

As the adage goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But Lightship co-founders Ben Parker and Toby Kraus looked at recreational vehicles – largely unchanged in design for the last 75 years – and saw a lot of things to fix: Aerodynamics, aesthetic appearance, power, affordability, environmental impact. The list goes on.
This thinking, plus a now-storied road trip towing a trailer with an electric vehicle, has brought them to today and the launch of the Lightship L1. What’s the L1, you ask? – ...
