Just as Elyse DeLisle and her partner, Amanda, were about to close on a Florida condo, they were faced with circumstances that would change the course of their lives.
The company Amanda worked for was rumored to close, and the couple began to wonder what they would do if this happened. So they backed out of the condo and began tossing around the idea of traveling the country in a trailer while taking their work on the road. Sooner than they thought, the reality of life on the road was within ...

You can’t drive around Austin, TX without seeing the iconic “Keep Austin Wierd” slogan slapped across bumpers. The phrase was originally engineered to celebrate the city’s beloved small businesses, but it defines the city in its pride for the unique people that call it home. This central Texas town has all the defining characteristics of the Lone Star State (like cowboy boots, BBQ, western hats, and a love for line dancing) with its own funky vibe, putting it on the map as an artsy, entrepren...

I have to confess something terrifying, embarrassing, and a little bit stupid…
I bought my first RV without having ever camped in an RV before.
You read that right. I never did a trial weekend. I never went RVing with friends. My first night sleeping in my RV, was my first night sleeping in any RV.
Crazy, I know. And in retrospect, I would probably take a leaf out of Goldilocks’ book and try out a few different rigs through Outdoorsy to find an RV that was “just right.”
Thankfully, I lucked o...

When we think of climate change we think of big oil, coal plants, mining, fracking or plastic bottles clogging up our waterways. But one of the biggest contributors to pollution may be the shirt you’re wearing right now. Clothing, and its distribution, has an enormous carbon footprint. From the harmful dyes and chemicals used to treat textile fibers, to the fossil fuels used to ship your garment halfway across the globe, your clothing may be “dirtier” than you think.
Fortunately, clothing com...

“Hygge” is a Danish word, and it’s not easily defined. Even if you were to ask a Dane what “Hygge” is, you may get a variety of responses, such as:
…“It’s candlelight.”
…“It’s crackling fires and warm blankets.”
…“It’s warm pastries and hot coffee.”
…“It’s long conversations by the fire.”
As you might have gathered, hygge is less of a place or a thing and more of a feeling. And date night is all about the feels, right?
Pronounced “hoo-gah,” the word has Norwegian roots meaning “well-being.” H...

Argentinian chef Francis Mallmann has become somewhat of a household name since his feature on Netflix’s popular docu-series “Chef’s Table.” His rustic form of cooking over flames, coals, and embers captivates audiences. Contrary to the typical image of a chef in a tall white hat working in a stainless steel kitchen, Mallmann is most often seen cooking in the rural mountain country land of Patagonia, wrapped in a thick scarf and wearing a wide brim hat.
He’s tending to flames, coals, and embe...

Local Tips for visiting Orlando, FL

Portland, Oregon is rainy, cold, and about as far from Orlando you can get within the continental US. But I assure you, Orlando and Portland share many similarities.
Perhaps you are most familiar with the Pacific Northwest city of Portland from the popular AMC show Portlandia. The satirical take on this PNW utopia pokes fun at the idealistic young denizens and their tree-hugging, pickle-loving, kale-eating, coffee-sipping ways. Without a doubt, Portland is known nationwide as a “hipster” have...

I’m Kelsey Glennon and I am an Actor’s Equity dancer and performing artist. I also write freelance and (occasionally) blog. I am currently based out of Orlando, FL, but plan on transitioning to living and working remotely in 2018.
My favorite thing to do when I travel is to find live music at a cozy local bar and people watch. I tend to explore on foot and wander cities in search of markets, local artisans, and ways to consume cheese.
How and why did you get into traveling?
Though not my firs...

There’s something innately romantic about an American road trip.
Maybe it’s the vastness of our country that captures imaginations, or maybe it’s the freedom of four wheels and a pair of dice dangling from the rearview mirror.
Maybe it’s the desire for a simpler time—when gas was cheap, land was undeveloped, and the pace of life was slow and savored. There’s certainly a romantic version of the American road trip that feels antique, like a glass bottle of Coca-Cola or the crooning sounds of Jo...

As dancers, we are both athletes and instruments. Our bodies must be strong, athletic machines held akin to Olympians. Dancer’s bodies are also our means of communication, creation, and emotional storytelling. Though ballet alone is one of the most comprehensive workouts for the body, it’s important to strength train to develop resistance to injury. On your days off from dancing, try activities that complement dance movement. This means moves that develop resistance to hip and knee strain, ma...

If getting outside and away from I-4 construction for the weekend sounds enticing, try these steps to planning the ultimate camper staycation in Central Florida for you and your date.
According to a recent study by University of Pittsburgh School of Health Sciences, the more time we spend on social media the more likely we are to be depressed. For some this may come as no surprise. If you think about it, there’s no better way to feel lousy than to scroll through an endless stream of highlight...
